AC / heating repair
System not cooling or heating right — diagnosed and quoted in person
Sample pricing — illustrative only, not an offer.
Your AC or heating isn't cooling or heating right, and the fix depends on what a pro finds — so this is a diagnostic-first visit: the pro diagnoses it in person and gives you a firm repair price, with the failed part and reading shown. The $89 visit fee credits toward the work if you go ahead, so you never pay twice.
What's included
- A licensed HVAC pro diagnosing, in person, why the system isn't cooling or heating right — refrigerant pressures, the compressor and blower, capacitor under load, contactor, electrical, and controls
- A firm repair price before any repair work begins, with a photo of the failed part and the out-of-spec meter reading
- The $89 visit fee credited 100% toward the repair if you approve it, so you don't pay twice
- Most common failures (capacitor, contactor, clogged drain) fixed the same visit; a compressor, coil, or motor job may need a part ordered and quoted in writing
- Honest repair-vs-replace math on an older system — the pro shows both before you commit
- Refrigerant handled straight: a low charge means a leak, found and priced, not a yearly top-off by the pound
- This is the diagnosis; a major repair or part is quoted on its own and approved in the app
What to expect
Typical time on site: about 45–90 min
- The pro arrives for the $89 visit (usually 45–90 minutes to diagnose)
- They check refrigerant pressures, the compressor and blower, electrical, and controls
- They explain what failed and give you a firm repair price, with a photo of the part and the reading
- The $89 credits toward the job if you approve it
- A part order or major repair is scheduled and quoted on its own, approved in the app first
Good to know
- No cool in a Houston summer is urgent — say so when you book; heat inside a closed house climbs fast and is dangerous for kids, elders, and pets
- Before the visit, replace the filter, check the thermostat batteries, and make sure the outdoor unit is clear — sometimes that's the whole fix
- The part may be cheap (a capacitor is under $50 wholesale) — you're paying for the licensed tech, the correct diagnosis, the stocked truck, and the warranty; a good pro names that instead of hiding it
- Ask to see the failed part's reading against spec before it's replaced — that's the standard, not a special request
- Refrigerant and electrical work require a licensed pro; a system that keeps losing refrigerant has a leak, not just a low charge
- On a much older system, ask the pro to compare repair vs. replace before you commit — you approve either path yourself
- A $400-plus quote for a standard, accessible capacitor deserves a second opinion
How the diagnostic visit works
AC and heating repairs vary too much to band honestly — a $20 capacitor and a compressor replacement are worlds apart — so this is a diagnostic-first visit: a flat $89 to diagnose and give a firm price, credited toward the work if you approve it. You'll never get an AI or firm repair number before the pro has actually seen the system.
Preview only — this does not book a real visit, and nobody is dispatched.
