FAQs
What does “flat-rate pricing” mean for heating and air conditioning heat repair in New Market?
Flat-rate pricing means that before any work begins you receive a single, up-front price for the entire repair—parts, labor, trip charge, and taxes included. The quote will not change even if the job takes longer than expected, giving you full cost certainty and eliminating surprise add-ons when the technician finishes.
How is the flat-rate price for my heat repair calculated?
Our flat-rate schedule is built from regional averages for labor time, current parts costs, and historical job data. Each common repair—such as igniter replacement, blower motor repair, or refrigerant leak isolation—has a preset price that already factors in travel, diagnostic time, and warranty administration. Because we service only the New Market area and nearby communities, we can keep travel costs low and pass those savings on to you.
Are there any situations where the quoted flat rate could increase after the technician arrives?
Only two scenarios can alter the quoted price: (1) If the system has additional, unrelated failures discovered during the repair inspection, we will give you separate flat-rate options for those items, or (2) if you decide to upgrade to higher-end parts (e.g., a variable-speed blower instead of a standard motor). Otherwise, once you approve the original quote, the price is locked in writing.
Does flat-rate pricing cover emergency or after-hours heat repairs?
Yes. Our standard flat-rate book includes 24/7 emergency service. A modest after-hours surcharge is built into the published rate so you still receive one fixed figure before work starts. There are no ‘overtime’ multipliers or hidden dispatch fees added later, whether we repair your furnace on a Tuesday afternoon or at 2 a.m. Sunday.
What warranties or guarantees come with a flat-rate repair?
All repairs include our 1-year workmanship guarantee and the manufacturer’s part warranty (usually 1–5 years depending on the component). If the exact repair we performed fails within a year due to installation or part defect, we will return and fix it at no additional charge—parts, labor, and trip fee included.
How quickly can you get a technician to my New Market home, and is that visit truly free if I decline the repair?
We offer same-day service for calls received by 3 p.m. and guaranteed next-day service for later requests. The diagnostic visit costs a flat $89, but that fee is automatically waived when you authorize any quoted repair. If you choose not to proceed, you pay only the $89 diagnostic—no upselling pressure, ever.
