How to Prep Your HVAC System for Fall

Fall is quickly approaching. Before it hits you’ll want to make sure your HVAC system is in tip top shape, which means safe, operational and energy-efficient! Below are a few suggestions on how you can make sure your HVAC system is ready for the chill of fall.

  • Change your air filter and continue doing so on a monthly basis for best performance of your system.
  • Clean off all of the air register and return grills with a vacuum cleaner to remove all dust and debris.
  • Check the exhaust flues outside to be sure they aren’t being blocked by branches or animal nests.
  • Open all of the air vents in your home. Make sure they aren’t being blocked by furniture, book shelves, boxes, etc.
  • Cover your outdoor AC with an AC unit cover. This will keep the leaves and debris out of the unit. Turn off the circuit breaker to the AC out door unit; this will help you to remember to remove the AC cover in the spring before restarting your AC.
  • If your system incorporates a humidifier change the evaporator pad and clean interior of the humidifier.
  • Call a professional - our HVAC professionals know how to properly maintain your system to perform at peak efficiency.

Contact Airflow Service Company today at (703) 393-7993 to schedule an appointment. We will make sure your HVAC system is in tip top shop for the upcoming season. We look forward to hearing from you!

Are your allergies bothering you? It’s important to keep in mind that indoor air quality can affect your family’s health and well-being. Not to worry, we have a solution for you! The right humidity level in your home can increase your home's comfort level and decrease your heating and cooling bills. In fact, controlling your home's humidity level is one of the most important elements in maintaining a comfortable living environment.

This time of year we recommend investing in a dehumidifier. It will remove the additional humidity from your home, so it won’t be as sticky inside your home as it is outside! A dehumidifier works by reducing water vapor. It condenses the water vapor in the air, converting it to liquid form and effectively pulling it out of the air before the air is recycled back into your living space.

Are you interested in cleaner, healthier indoor air? If so, call Airflow Service Company today at (703) 393-7993, and we will help supply and install the latest air quality products.

Fabulous, Professional Service!

My husband and I suddenly realized that the two gas fireplaces in our home, which we never used, might need to be cleaned. We found AirFlow on the BBB site and called them up. They were professional and friendly AND most importantly knowledgeable right from the start. The technician who came out was very experienced and helpful! We WILL go back to AirFlow when we need to replace our HVAC/AC in the coming year or two!

A great company.

I have been using AirFlow Service for about 3 years. They did all the ductwork for my basement, they installed a humidifier, and we now have a general maintenance contract with them. They are a great company because they are always prompt. Their technicians are very courteous and knowledgeable and their follow up is impeccable.

Fantastic company to do business with and great service.

AirFlow Service had the best pricing and the best technicians for my installation. Andy and Mark, the owners, actually came and did the installation, and they did a great job. They covered the floors, so it was clean and nicely done. Everything with the unit is working fine. I have a service agreement with the company, so that if I have any issues they will come out the same day or the next day. I haven't had any issues yet. They have fantastic service and stand behind their work.

On time, clean, and knowledgeable.

AirFlow Service has been fantastic. They actually listen to their customers. If anything doesn't pan out they stand behind their work. Our house is very dry, and we have used Honeywell equipment. I like their thermostats, but not any of their equipment. AirFlow has installed three Honeywell systems, and all three have leaked. They have been fixing them, and are going to install a new type of system, all for free. They stand behind their work 100% with no ifs ands or buts. They take full responsibility, even though it is the equipment that is faulty. We are very happy with them. When we call them they give a two hour window for when their technician will arrive. If for some reason the technician will be late, they will always call. If I am not going to be at home I will tell them where I hid the key. I have absolute trust in this company. There was an older guy who I felt was getting ripped of by his HVAC company, so I told him about AirFlow. He raves about them now. They fixed his problem for next to nothing. I haven't heard a single negative thing from any of the people I know who use them. They come on time, they clean up when they are done, and they know what they are doing. If a technician is having a hard time with something, the owner will come out himself to help them. The prices are very reasonable. I know with the tough times many people are cutting out their maintenance agreements, but with AirFlow that is a mistake. Their service package will save you a lot of money.

Always a good job with good service follow-up
We have been using Airflow since about 2006 and wouldn't use anyone else. They have done or redone all of our heating, air conditioning, humidifier, air cleaners, ducting, water heater and now a new whole generator. When any issue has come up, they are always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything is working properly. Their service technicians are polite, nice, tidy and prompt. Their prices are always competitive. And the office staff is equally as pleasant and helpful. Can't go wrong with Airflow.

Pleased with service

We were pleased with the service. It was quick and attentive. We liked the installed thermostat so much that we decided to install another. So far, we think it has made a difference but we need to see some very hot weather to tell for sure.

First rate company - very professional.

Airflow Service sets the standard that ALL contractors should strive for. Their technicians are courteous, punctual (when held up in traffic, they call and let the customer know how long they might be) and most of all, know what they are doing. They also are very good at preparing a work area and cleaning up once the job is done. My recent experience involved them replacing a water heater that had broken down. Not only did they do the job well but it was within 24 hours - despite being held up by traffic. If only all contractors could be like this!!

Outstanding Service

I am a renter with multiple experiences with Airflow. Each time, the techs were outstanding. They take the time to explain what they are doing and what needs to be done. They are respectful of my time and environment. They have tolerated my many questions and are very engaging and knowledgeable. They were also great to my cat, who loves to get in their way. Airflow is a wonderful company with stellar employees.

Marty D.
Woodbridge, VA

Great Customer Service!

Although something went wrong with the installation of our fireplace, AirFlow Service was very responsive, getting a technician to call us immediately to see if we could fix the problem over the phone, sending a technician in next day to fix the problem, and when it recurred, sending the installer back, which finally fixed the problem. The staff was courteous and engaged and very concerned about our proble.

Look NO Further! AIRFLOW IS THE WAY TO GO!!

This company is by far the best one out there-locally- We should know, we've had 3 OTHER local companies come to our home and they all had something DIFFERENT to say about our BOILER: One sent 2 people out that had conflicting diagnosis, one said they didn't want to touch it in it's current condition they'd rather replace it(of course) and the last said $4k to FIX it(after they burst a pipe under our home that had nothing to do with the boiler!). THEN, at my breaking point,I called a commercial Boiler Co. and asked for a referral- SO SUPER GLAD I DID!-They said Airflow was the BEST for a boiler -- and they ARE! We were just about ready to take the plunge and put a huuge dent in our savings and replace the entire unit, unwillingly - until we met Andy who, from the get go was entirely sure that he could fix it and for much less than the OTHER Co! We received prompt, courteous, clean and EFFICIENT service and couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Airflow- the unit is functioning like new and the fact that we were able to put a much smaller dent in our funds is the icing on the cake!! We LOVE an honest company! MANY MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE at AIRFLOW and especially HANDY ANDY :) Also, we are not located in Manassas and were thrilled that they would come out and service our home in Warrenton. We will definitely be calling on Airflow in the future and HIGHLY,HIGHLY RECOMMEND their company!!! Six thumbs up and 20 stars from us :) Our home is warm and toasty this winter and our boiler has been working more efficiently too. THANKS AGAIN!

We  are very pleased.

We have used AirFlow Service 5 different times. They have installed units in 3 of our private homes as well as our business. We have are very pleased. Their service is very good.

New HVAC system and service more than met expectations.

Airflow provide a new HVAC and gas furnace in June 2010. The installation was done quickly and professionally in about six hours leaving the area as clean as when they arrive.
It's quieter and much more efficient than the replaced system.
For July with nineteen days over 90, two of them over 100 my electric bill was significantly lower than last year which was one of the coolest summer since moving to VA.
I couldn't be happier with Airflow as my HVAC contractor.

S. W.
South Riding, VA

5 Star Company!!!

We have used Airflow now for the last four years and have been very satisfied with their customer service and their professional approach on how every detail is carried out. Service after the sale is what matters and Airflow ranks No. 1 in this category. I would recommend Airflow to anyone.

Hello everyone, 

The HVAC or heating ventilation and air conditioning market is a complex network of products, service companies, distributors, new technologies, and the list goes on. These days, HVAC systems are considered to be one of the most essential requirements for most homes. That’s why this website was created; so that we can keep you informed and up to date on our company and what’s going on in the HVAC world. Whether you need installation or service, our goal is to provide you with key environmental systems expertiseWe also love hearing feedback from our customers so please feel free to comment on our services.

            These days it’s all about being healthy. We exercise and watch what we eat, but what about the air in our homes? Is it healthy? Probably not. The flow of air is vitally important to maintaining your health and the health of those who live or work with you. Without an HVAC system that functions properly the air in your home becomes stale, allowing germs and other airborne pathogens to fester around you. Dust, dirt, pollen, mold spores, etc., make untreated indoor air up to 100 times worse than outdoor air. Dirty, dusty homes can mean discomfort at any temperature. Things to consider are an air cleaner, which cleans air effectively by removing bacteria, pollen, animal dander and pollutants as small as 0.01 microns; or a humidifier to control moisture and increase indoor air quality; also consider installing a ventilator, it brings fresh air into your home year-round with minimal energy loss. Home comfort is not just about temperature it’s about maintaining a healthy home with great indoor air quality. Give the experts at Airflow a call to evaluate your system. We'll ensure that it's working properly so that fresh air flows beautifully into your home or business; keeping your space safe, healthy and allowing you to live comfortably.
