FAQs
What does flat-rate pricing mean for your Philadelphia air-conditioning services?
Flat-rate pricing means we quote you one firm price for the entire job—parts, labor, taxes and disposal—instead of billing by the hour. Once our NATE-certified technician diagnoses the issue with your AC system, you receive a written price before any work begins. Whether the repair takes 30 minutes or three hours, you pay the same guaranteed amount, giving you total cost certainty and eliminating surprises on your final invoice.
Are there any hidden fees or add-ons beyond the flat rate I’m quoted?
No. The price you approve is the price you pay. Our flat-rate model bundles travel time, diagnostics, parts, refrigerant recovery, EPA-compliant disposal, and workmanship warranty into a single figure. The only time a charge would change is if you choose additional work that was not included in the original scope—such as upgrading to a smart thermostat or adding an air purifier—and we obtain your signed approval first.
How do you calculate the flat-rate cost for my AC repair, tune-up, or installation?
We use an industry-standard pricing guide that factors in the task’s average labor time, the cost of OEM or high-quality replacement parts, local permitting fees in Philadelphia, and regional cost-of-living data. Because we perform hundreds of similar jobs each year, we can predict expenses accurately and pass the savings of bulk parts purchasing on to you. This ensures the price is fair, transparent, and consistent no matter which technician visits your home.
Does the flat-rate apply to emergency or after-hours AC service in Philadelphia?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response throughout Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks, and Chester counties, and our flat-rate menu includes an after-hours tier. When you call outside of standard business hours, the dispatcher will quote you the exact emergency flat rate before the technician is dispatched. There are no night, weekend, or holiday multipliers tacked on once the job is finished.
What brands and types of air conditioners do you service under the flat-rate plan?
Our technicians are factory-trained to work on every major brand sold in the Mid-Atlantic, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, Bryant, and Mitsubishi Electric mini-splits. The flat-rate catalog covers central split systems, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, rooftop units, and packaged terminal ACs (PTACs). We also honor manufacturer warranties and will file the paperwork for you at no additional charge.
How soon can I schedule a flat-rate AC service visit and what areas do you cover?
In most cases we can book same-day appointments in Philadelphia proper and next-day service for suburbs within a 30-mile radius. Our service area includes Center City, South Philly, Northeast, Roxborough, Manayunk, Chestnut Hill, plus surrounding communities such as Ardmore, King of Prussia, Media, and Bensalem. You can schedule by phone, online chat, or our mobile app, and you’ll receive real-time technician tracking and text alerts so you’re never left waiting.
