• Food items are not being held at the correct temperature (between 35 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit)

• The fridge is using too much energy and seems to run all the time

• Loud and/or unusual noises

Possible causes include:

• A damaged door 

• Faulty condenser coil

The average cost to hire an HVAC contractor is between $50 and $150 per hour if charging hourly. However, some HVAC contractors will charge a flat fee by the type of service they are performing—for example, an inspection can cost between $150 to $500. Keep in mind that emergency repairs—which are made after business hours or around major holidays—generally cost more than scheduled repairs.

Yes, most states require HVAC technicians to be certified, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed HVAC technician could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
