About Falls Church homes
Homes in Falls Church are mostly brick colonials, Cape Cods and ramblers from the 1940s through 60s, plus newer townhouses and condos near Broad Street. Many Falls Church homes were built before central air, so ductwork was added later through closets and attics, and older homes here often have a gas furnace and an AC that were installed decades apart. Those details shape how we approach heat pump repair & service in Falls Church: what equipment we expect to find, where it sits and how the ductwork is likely laid out.
Cost and timing
Capacitors, contactors and defrost sensors are common and reasonably priced. Reversing valves and compressors are bigger jobs, and on an older heat pump we'll show you how a repair compares with a high-efficiency replacement.
Questions we hear
Why does my heat pump feel cool even in heat mode?
Heat pump air is gentler than furnace air, which is normal. If it's actually cool, the defrost controls, reversing valve or refrigerant charge are the usual suspects.
Should my heat pump have ice on it?
Light frost that melts during defrost is normal. A thick block of ice that stays is not.
Do you work throughout Falls Church?
Yes, from West Falls Church to Holmes Run and the streets off Broad Street, Lee Highway and Route 7.
