This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this visit. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the visit involves
On a service call a technician comes to the house, asks what the system is doing, checks the thermostat, the power and the equipment, and looks for the cause. You should usually come away with a diagnosis and a repair price you can approve or take to another company for comparison.
A service call is for a system that has a problem. A one-time tune-up is a routine visit for one that works.
What moves the price
- Posted rate or emergency rate
- Some companies post only their weekday fee and charge a separate emergency rate for nights, weekends and holidays, so the number you see may not be the one you pay.
- Same day or booked ahead
- Asking for a technician right away can be priced differently from taking a later opening. Ask whether waiting a day would change the fee.
- Distance from the company
- Some companies add a trip charge for addresses outside their usual service area. Tell them where you live when you ask.
- Return trips
- If the repair needs a part the technician does not have on the truck, ask whether coming back counts as a second service call.
- Plan members
- A company that sells maintenance plans may waive or reduce the fee for members. Check your plan before you call if you have one.
- How deep the diagnosis goes
- A basic check of the thermostat and power is not the same as testing the electrical parts and the refrigerant side. Some fees cover the basic check, and a deeper test may cost extra.
