What affects your price
- The failed part — a $15 igniter vs. a sealed-system compressor
- Brand and parts availability — premium and built-in parts cost more
- Age and condition of the unit
- Whether it's a single fix or multiple worn components
Repair or replace?
A good rule of thumb: if your unit is under ~8 years old and the repair costs less than half of a replacement, repair is the smart call. When a major component fails on an older unit, we'll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense — no pressure either way.

Pricing FAQ
Pricing questions, answered.
Most appliance repairs fall between $120 and $450, and most HVAC repairs between $150 and $800, parts and labor included. Major components (a compressor, sealed system, or heat exchanger) cost more. You always get a flat-rate quote before any work begins.
Our service call is $89 for appliances and $150 for HVAC — and it's waived when you approve the repair, so you only pay for the fix. Estimates for new HVAC installations are always free.
No. We quote a flat rate for the repair up front, so the price doesn't climb if the job takes longer than expected. No hourly surprises.
The ranges cover common repairs. A failed compressor, sealed-system leak, or cracked heat exchanger costs more — and in those cases we'll give you an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation before you decide.
