FAQs
What does “transparent pricing” mean for your heating and air-conditioning services in Whitwell?
Transparent pricing means you know the full cost of a job before you authorize it. We publish our standard labor rates, flat-rate service menu, and common part prices, and we put every estimate in writing. There are no surprise line items, “miscellaneous” fees, or upsells once the work begins—if additional issues are discovered, we stop, explain them, and get your approval before proceeding.
How much is the service-call or diagnostic fee, and what does it cover?
Our diagnostic fee in Whitwell is a flat $89 during normal business hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday–Friday). This covers travel to your home, a complete system inspection by an EPA-certified technician, and a written report outlining the problem and recommended solutions. If you approve a repair on the same visit, we credit the $89 toward the repair cost, so you never pay twice for the same diagnostic work.
Will I get an up-front estimate before any HVAC repair or installation begins?
Absolutely. After the diagnostic, we present a line-item estimate showing parts, labor, taxes, and any manufacturer rebates. You choose the option that fits your budget—repair, mid-range replacement, or high-efficiency upgrade—and the price you see is the price you pay. We require your signed approval before ordering materials or starting work.
Are there extra charges for after-hours, weekend, or emergency service in Whitwell?
Yes, but they are published and disclosed when you call. Emergency service (weekdays after 5 p.m., weekends, and holidays) carries a $129 diagnostic fee instead of the standard $89. All flat-rate repair prices remain the same 24/7—only the diagnostic fee changes—so you’ll never see doubled parts or labor costs just because it’s Sunday night.
How can I decide whether to repair or replace my system, and how do your prices help?
Our technicians calculate the "repair-vs-replace" breakeven point using age, efficiency, and repair history. We show you: 1) the exact cost of the current repair, 2) the estimated annual energy savings of a new unit, 3) available rebates/tax credits, and 4) projected maintenance costs over the next five years. With all numbers on one sheet, you can make a data-driven choice that best fits your long-term budget.
What payment or financing options do you offer Whitwell homeowners?
We accept all major credit cards, checks, and ACH transfers. For larger repairs or new installations, we partner with local banks and national lenders to offer 0% interest for 12 months or low-APR plans up to 120 months (subject to credit approval). Because our pricing is fixed, your monthly payment won’t change during the term, and there are no prepayment penalties if you decide to pay it off early.
