How much should an HVAC service call be?

• <div><p>Most HVAC companies charge a flat service call fee of between <b>$75 and $150</b>, which includes traveling to your home and inspecting your system to find the underlying problem. Keep in mind that these prices only include diagnostics and the actual repairs will usually be billed separately. If you’re calling for routine service, the service call will be included in your inspection and tune-up, with the total sitting around <b>$150</b>. Your prices could be a little higher if you have a very large home with multiple condensers and air handlers, as inspections and servicing take longer.</p></div>

Q: How long does geothermal servicing take?

• <div><p>Most maintenance checks take 2-5 hours, though extensive repairs may take longer.</p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to using a geothermal heat pump for floor heating?

• <div><p>The most obvious downside is the high upfront cost of buying and installing one of these systems. Additionally, sometimes the system can take a longer time to heat than alternatives like a boiler. Also, if something goes wrong with the geothermal pump, repairs are often significantly more expensive than repairing traditional, above-ground heat pumps. </p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to a misting system?

• <div><p>An evaporator or swamp cooler is a common alternative for small spaces. These coolers blow moist air into a space to help cool it down. They are more affordable than misters and use much less water. However, coolers will not have the same cooling effect as misters, cannot help plants survive the heat, and only reach a small area.</p></div>

Q: How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

• <div><p>For most systems, an annual HVAC system service is more than enough. Some homeowners prefer a twice-a-year visit to ensure the system is ready for the upcoming summer and winter seasons. If you need to call an HVAC pro more often than this, it may be time to check if your system is getting old enough for a replacement. </p></div>

They are amazing. I have had a lot of stuff done by them. I have had the engine overhauled, gaskets replaced and oil pan changed. They do a really good job. I have been going there for a few years ago. The work was perfect. Their price is competitive. I will continue to use them.
