Looking for an HVAC company in Crystal City? Crystal City is high-rise country, thousands of condos stacked over the Metro, with the quiet brick streets of Aurora Highlands right behind them. We service the tower closets and the 1940s duplexes alike, with the building paperwork handled.
Why us?
Serving Crystal City
Crystal City's skyline is mostly homes: condo towers from the 60s through the 2000s, most cooled and heated by water-source heat pumps or fan-coil units tucked into closets, tied to building loops and risers that dictate exactly what replacement equipment fits. When one quits, the fix has to match the building's spec and the management company's rules, and we've learned both over years of tower work.
Behind the towers, Aurora Highlands and Arlington Ridge are a different century: brick duplexes, Cape Cods, and colonials from the 40s, a few minutes from the Pentagon and across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. National Landing's growth is renovating these blocks fast, along with the Route 1 corridor toward Richmond Highway, and every renovation runs into the same questions about panels, ductwork, and where the condenser can legally sit.
Add the Reagan National Airport flight path and the premium on quiet, sound-rated equipment, and Crystal City rewards a contractor who sweats the details. Leonard Splaine has been family-owned since 1956; a real person answers day or night, and one number covers the condo closet and the colonial basement.
Our Services
Condo heat pumps, fan-coils, duplex splits, and quiet equipment from the Metro to Arlington Ridge.
When a Crystal City condo unit fails in July, the fix has to move fast and match the building: right spec, right paperwork, right elevator window. We repair water-source heat pumps and fan-coils same-day whenever the schedule allows, and the Aurora Highlands split systems right along with them.
Tower heating here rides the building loop; the duplexes and colonials behind it run gas furnaces and the occasional boiler. No-heat calls get same-day response either way, with honest diagnosis before any part goes in.
Condo replacements in Crystal City are spec-matching exercises: riser connections, loop temperatures, closet dimensions, management approval. House replacements in Aurora Highlands are right-sizing exercises for 1940s brick. We quote both accurately the first time, with free estimates and 0% financing options.
Mini-splits earn their keep here in the older stock, duplexes and Capes with no ductwork, and in condo dens the building system never conditioned properly. As a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor we install quiet, low-profile systems, with sound-rated outdoor placement that respects close neighbors and the flight path's premium on peace.
Crystal City might have more heat pumps per block than anywhere in Virginia; they're just water-source units in closets. We repair every brand, replace to building spec, and install cold-climate air-source systems in the surrounding neighborhoods as they electrify.
Condo closets hide neglected filters and clogged condensate pans that only announce themselves through the downstairs neighbor's ceiling, and sealed tower air makes indoor air quality worse when the filtration slips. Annual maintenance catches both first. Tower units, duplex splits, and everything between, with priority scheduling for plan members.

Reviews
Real reviews from real Leonard Splaine jobs across Crystal City and Northern Virginia, from same-day AC repairs to full system installs. We've earned our 4.9-star average the slow way: answering the phone, showing up on time, and doing right by every home.
Lynn Gilbertson Google review Kyle provided emergency holiday weekend service when our a/c was completely out with 104F "feels like" temperatures. He quickly diagnosed and fixed our system, with solutions for avoiding similar problems in the future. We are grateful to Kyle and Leonard Splaine!
Katie Kada Facebook recommendation Couldn't have asked for better service! Leonard Splaine was timely, honest and did a wonderful job replacing our very outdated AC unit. We plan to use them again for any service or replacement in the future and we'll recommend them to our friends and family.
I will definitely use this company again! Our AC went out on one of the hottest days of the year. They answered and came to the rescue! Family owned and very kind. Technician was knowledgeable and quick.
Ankur Mundra Facebook recommendation I've used Leonard Splaine the last 5 years. They are professional, provide quality service, and answer my questions and concerns. Michael Ford came out this year to do my spring maintenance as well as eztrap installation and condenser coil cleaning. He did an excellent job.
Candace Bond Google review They were such gentlemen and seemed to be very knowledgeable and honest. They were also very patient and took the time to answer all of our questions. I would highly recommend these guys.
A/C stopped working on the hottest day of the year, so far. They came over the same day and had it up and running in no time. The price was reasonable and the tech was great.

Good questions
The things homeowners ask us most. Anything else, the phone's faster than the internet.
Yes, that's most of our Crystal City work. We match the building's water-source or split spec, submit what management needs, carry the required insurance certificates, and schedule around elevator reservations and quiet hours.
It raises the bar on quiet. We lean toward low-sound-rated condensers and inverter systems, and we site outdoor units so their sound blends under the ambient rather than adding to it.
In most cases, yes. We run a large fleet out of Woodbridge and hold room in the schedule for same-day repair calls across Northern Virginia. Call before noon and we can almost always be there the same day. Earlier in the day is better during peak season.
For residential HVAC, our diagnostic fee is $89. It covers a real diagnosis and a straight, written price before any work starts. Maintenance members have the diagnostic fee waived when they proceed with the repair. Ask us about the membership. Replacement estimates for HVAC systems, water heaters, electrical panels, and EV chargers are always free.
Yes. We work with multiple financing partners and pass along manufacturer promotions as they run, including 0% and low-monthly-payment options on new systems. Tell us your budget and we'll build options around it.
All of them. Our technicians repair every major brand of furnace, heat pump, AC, boiler, and water heater. For new installations we're a Lennox Premier Dealer and a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor, including ductless mini-splits, and we also specialize in Carrier.
We do. We're one of the last companies in Northern Virginia that both services oil heating systems and delivers home heating oil and off-road diesel. If you have an oil furnace or boiler, you only need one phone number.
Yes. Alongside heating and cooling we install air filtration, whole-home humidifiers, UV purification, and air purifiers, a big help during Northern Virginia's pollen seasons and dry winters. Ask about it during any air conditioner or furnace visit, or book an air quality assessment on its own.
Yes, and it matters. Leonard Splaine has been owned and run by the same family for three generations, since 1956. We haven't been bought by private equity, and we're not going to be. When you call us, you're dealing with people whose name is on the trucks.
Same-day service across Northern Virginia. Talk to a real person, day or night.
