Why It Matters in Fairfax

Homes here sit in climate Zone 4A and work hard through humid summers near a 95°F design day and cold winters. A dirty coil or slightly low refrigerant quietly drags efficiency down, so you pay more on your Dominion Energy bill each month for less comfort. A tune-up restores rated performance.

The Safety Benefit

Gas furnaces: the combustion check

For gas furnaces, the seasonal inspection includes a heat-exchanger and combustion check, the front line against carbon monoxide, which is colorless and odorless. That alone justifies the annual visit.

Two Bonuses Worth Knowing

✓
Warranty protectionMany manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance to stay valid.
✓
Dominion Energy rebatesA rebate on qualifying tune-ups, plus smart-thermostat rebates.
