FAQ

Frequently asked questions about our HVAC services

How much does AC installation cost in Northern Virginia?

AC installation in Northern Virginia typically costs between $4,500 and $9,000 for a central air system, depending on the size of your home and the efficiency rating (SEER) of the unit. Fairfax Mechanical provides free, no-obligation estimates and uses Manual J load calculations to ensure you get the correctly sized system — avoiding the efficiency losses that come from oversizing or undersizing.

How long does a full HVAC system replacement take in Fairfax County?

A complete HVAC system replacement — removing the old unit and installing a new one — typically takes 6 to 8 hours for a single-system residential installation. Most Fairfax County homeowners have their new system running the same day we arrive. Multi-zone or complex ductwork modifications may require a second day.

Do I need a permit for HVAC work in Fairfax County?

Yes, most HVAC replacements in Fairfax County require a mechanical permit. Fairfax Mechanical pulls all required permits on your behalf at no additional charge — this protects you legally and ensures the work passes county inspection. Never hire a contractor who suggests skipping the permit process.

What is the difference between a heat pump and a gas furnace for a Northern Virginia home?

A heat pump is typically the more efficient choice in Northern Virginia's climate, providing both cooling and heating using electricity. Virginia's relatively mild winters — with temperatures rarely staying below 25°F for extended periods — allow modern heat pumps to operate efficiently without a gas backup. Gas furnaces deliver stronger heat output in extreme cold, which is why many NoVA homes use a dual-fuel system (heat pump + gas backup).
