Everything Homeowners Ask

Do you charge for a diagnostic?
Most providers charge a modest diagnostic or trip fee, typically $59–$129, and many waive or credit it toward an approved repair. You are told the amount before dispatch.
How soon can someone come out?
Same day in most areas. Emergencies are dispatched immediately, 24/7.
Do you work on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Emergency HVAC dispatch runs 365 days a year.
What brands do you service?
All major residential and light commercial brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, Ruud, York, Bryant, American Standard, Amana, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Payne, Heil and Coleman.
Do you offer financing on replacements?
Yes, approved-credit financing is available through participating contractors on most new AC and furnace installations.
Is my new system under warranty?
New equipment carries a manufacturer parts warranty, usually 5–10 years with registration, plus a labor warranty from the installing contractor. Documented annual maintenance is normally required to keep it valid.
How often should I service my HVAC system?
Twice a year — cooling in spring and heating in fall.
How long should an AC or furnace last?
Air conditioners 12–17 years, furnaces 15–25 years, heat pumps 12–15 years, with maintenance.
What size system does my home need?
It must be calculated, not guessed. A proper load calculation accounts for square footage, insulation, windows, orientation, air sealing and duct condition.

We cover 1,500+ cities in 50 states. Check the locations directory or call (855) 473-2093 and we will confirm coverage at your address.
Are the contractors licensed and insured?
Each provider is an independent contractor who represents that they hold the license and insurance required in their state. Homeowners should verify credentials before work begins.
Do you handle commercial buildings?
Yes — light commercial HVAC including rooftop units, packaged systems and multi-zone splits, with after-hours scheduling.
