• What are BTUs in air conditioning?

• What is SEER in air conditioning?

  A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a typical charge used by HVAC companies once someone is dispatched to your home to diagnose the issue plaguing your heating or cooling system. A diagnostic fee covers the technician’s time, expertise and any gas or other travel expenses associated with looking into the problem. It’s in essence a service fee for the technician’s professional evaluation to pinpoint what went wrong.

  Think of it like a doctor’s appointment. They must do some preliminary tests or an examination to learn more about what’s wrong before proposing treatment. In the same way, the technician we send needs to inspect your system to decide on the best repair or maintenance steps.
