This all depends on the purpose of the service call. If we’re doing a general HVAC maintenance visit, this takes normally 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the condition of your system. If we end up finding an issue that warrants a repair or replacement of a part, we can sometimes perform the repair on the same visit, or schedule another appointment once the part on order is available. 

If after doing an inspection of your furnace we find that it cannot be repaired and an HVAC system replacement is needed, we will explain next steps including multiple different options based on price, efficiency, etc. 

This all depends on the type of HVAC system you have and the actual issue. Repairs can range from $150+, but it’s hard to provide a specific price point as this can widely vary based on the actual issue of your heating and cooling issue.

Yes – There are obvious signs and symptoms that will help us recommend an HVAC system replacement. Often times, it comes down to a needed repair to a very old unit, where it doesn’t make sense for most customers to invest thousands of dollars on a repair, when a new unit would end up being more efficient in a few years time. 

With that said, we always let our customer make the final call based on our findings which we will review in detail with you every single time. 

New HVAC systems can vary in price, and we’ll always provide our customers with multiple pricing options to choose from. These options will vary based on price, efficiency levels, technology, rebate and warranty among other factors as well.
