What Does a Home-Tech Service Call Include?

When your air conditioner stops cooling, starts making unusual noises, leaks water, or isn't working the way it should, one of the first questions you may have is:

“How much will it cost to have someone come out and look at my AC?”

What Does the $189 AC Service Call Include?

The $189 service call includes a Home-Tech technician coming to your home and professionally diagnosing your air conditioning system.

Home-Tech technicians are certified, drug tested, and background checked. During the initial service call, the technician will inspect and test the system to determine what is causing the problem.

The first 30 minutes of diagnostic time are included in the $189 service call fee.

What If the AC Diagnosis Takes More Than 30 Minutes?

Many AC problems can be diagnosed within the first 30 minutes. However, some issues can require additional diagnostic time.

If more time is needed, your technician will explain the situation before continuing.

You will not be left with an unexpected diagnostic charge because additional time will be discussed with you before the technician continues.

Does the $189 Include AC Repairs?

No. The $189 service call covers the technician's visit and the first 30 minutes of diagnosis.

If your AC needs a repair, the cost of the required parts and labor is additional.

Home-Tech typically uses flat-rate pricing for parts and labor, allowing you to know the applicable repair cost before the work is completed.

Can the Technician Repair My AC During the First Visit?

In many cases, yes.

Home-Tech technicians carry commonly needed parts and equipment on their service vehicles. If the necessary part is available and the repair can be completed during the initial appointment, the technician may be able to make the repair during that visit.

Some repairs require parts that are not available on the service vehicle. If a part needs to be ordered, your technician will explain what is needed and arrange for the repair to be completed when the part becomes available.

Is There Another Service Call Fee for the Return Visit?

When a part needs to be ordered for the repair, you do not pay another service call fee for the return trip.

Once the required part is available, Home-Tech will schedule the technician to return and complete the approved repair.

How Much Will My AC Repair Actually Cost?

There is no single price for every AC repair because the cost depends on the specific problem, the parts required, and the work necessary to complete the repair.

Your cost generally consists of the $189 service call, which includes the first 30 minutes of diagnosis, plus the applicable cost of parts and labor if a repair is needed.

Home-Tech typically provides a flat-rate price for the repair before the work is completed.

Why Is Professional AC Diagnosis Important?

An air conditioner that isn't cooling properly can have many possible causes. The problem could involve an electrical component, capacitor, motor, thermostat, refrigerant system, control component, blower system, or another part of the system.

The symptom alone does not always tell you what is wrong.

A qualified technician can test the system and determine the actual cause of the problem. This allows you to make an informed decision about repairing your AC.
