FAQs

What does “transparent pricing” mean for your heating and air-conditioning services in Jamestown?

It means every customer receives a written, itemized quote before any work begins. Our menu lists flat-rate prices for the most common repairs (for example, a capacitor replacement or a refrigerant recharge) as well as the labor rate we charge per half-hour for diagnostic or custom work. No work starts until you have reviewed, approved, and signed the quote, so you always know exactly what the project will cost.

How do you calculate the cost of a repair or installation?

For repairs, the total price is the sum of a fixed diagnostic fee, the published flat-rate labor charge, and the cost of any parts at market price. For new equipment we use a load calculation specific to your home, then give you three good-better-best system options with their exact installed prices. Travel within the Jamestown city limits is included; homes outside city limits see the mileage surcharge clearly listed on the quote.

Are there any hidden fees I should expect?

No. All potential charges—after-hours service, mileage outside our standard zone, or specialized disposal fees—are disclosed on the written estimate. If an unexpected condition is discovered after work starts, we stop, show you the issue, and present a change order for approval before proceeding. If you decline, we re-assemble the system at no additional cost beyond the original diagnostic fee.

Do you offer free upfront estimates or second opinions?

Yes. Estimates for new system installs or full system replacements are 100 % free. Second opinions on another contractor’s quote are also free, provided you share the competitor’s written bid. For repair work we charge a flat diagnostic fee, but that fee is waived if you authorize the repair on the same visit.

Will my final invoice ever be higher than the price you quoted?

Only if you request additional work or approve a change order. Otherwise, the price on your signed quote is the price you pay—no surprises at checkout. Our software locks the quoted amount to your work order, preventing technicians from adding unapproved charges.

What factors can affect the price of a heating or AC job in Jamestown?

Major factors include system size (tonnage or BTUs), efficiency rating (SEER, AFUE), refrigerant type, the complexity of duct or vent modifications, and local code requirements. Seasonal demand can affect equipment lead times but not our published labor rates. Because we buy equipment in bulk and publish our margins, you can see exactly how each of these variables changes the bottom-line price.
