FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for your air-conditioning service in Winchester?
Up-front pricing means we quote the full cost of the job before any work begins, based on a thorough diagnostic of your air-conditioning system. The figure you approve covers labor, parts, taxes, disposal and standard travel within the Winchester service area. Because you know the exact amount in advance, you never face open-ended hourly charges or unexpected add-ons once the technician is on site.
Are there hidden fees or overtime charges I should worry about?
No. The price you authorize is the price you pay—whether the repair takes 30 minutes or three hours. We don’t add evening, weekend or holiday surcharges for residential customers inside our normal Winchester coverage zone. The only time your cost could change is if you ask us to perform additional work outside the original scope; in that case, we prepare a new up-front quote for your approval first.
Do you offer same-day or emergency air-conditioning repairs in Winchester?
Yes. During the cooling season we reserve daily time slots for urgent service and have an on-call technician for after-hours emergencies. If you call before noon we can usually provide same-day repairs within Winchester city limits and surrounding communities such as Stephens City and Clear Brook. After-hours calls are billed at the same up-front flat rate, so you still receive a firm price before we begin.
Which air-conditioning brands and systems can your technicians service or install?
Our EPA-certified technicians are factory-trained to work on all major central AC and heat-pump brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York and Daikin. We also handle ductless mini-split systems, high-velocity small-duct units and packaged rooftop equipment commonly found in Winchester’s historic downtown buildings. If a warranty applies, we can process authorized repairs using genuine OEM parts to keep your coverage intact.
Can I get a price estimate over the phone, or do you need to inspect my system first?
For minor, well-defined tasks—such as installing a Wi-Fi thermostat or performing a standard tune-up—we can quote a flat price by phone. For repairs or replacement, we schedule a no-obligation diagnostic visit so we can assess the issue, measure refrigerant levels, check airflow and review your home’s load requirements. The in-person evaluation ensures the up-front price we give you is accurate and all-inclusive.
Do you offer maintenance plans, and how do they help my AC system?
Yes. Our ComfortGuard maintenance plan includes two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, 15 % off repair parts and an extended 2-year labor warranty on all work we perform. Regular maintenance keeps coils clean, verifies refrigerant charge and identifies worn components early, which can lower energy use by up to 20 % and preserve manufacturer warranties that require documented annual service.
