How pricing works
The minimum repair to get you running again right now.
We fix only the part that failed — the fastest, lowest-cost option to get your system back on today. It addresses the symptom, not the underlying wear that caused the failure, so it's best when you're planning to replace the system soon or need a short-term hold.
The repair that solves the root cause, not just the symptom.
We replace the failed component plus the connected parts that are wearing out next, so you don't pay for a second visit in a few weeks. It costs more than a Band-Aid up front but lasts longer and protects the rest of the system.
Smart Fix plus a full tune-up, inspection, and maintenance plan.
Our most complete option — the Smart Fix repair, a full system tune-up and safety inspection, and enrollment in our maintenance plan so the repair stays protected and the next problem gets caught early. Best when you want the issue solved and prevented.
Every repair starts with one flat diagnostic fee, and that fee is credited 100% toward your completed repair — so you never pay twice for the same visit. Most common repairs (capacitors, contactors, drain clearages) run $150–$400; larger fixes like compressors or coils cost more. You'll see a flat-rate quote before any work starts.
Repair or replace — an honest recommendation
If your system is under 10 years old and the repair is a single failed part, repair almost always makes sense. If the compressor is dead and the system is already past warranty, the math often flips toward replacement — we'll show you both numbers honestly and let you decide.
