What we check
HVAC diagnostic checks
$79.95 HVAC diagnostic visit
Sign up for the Maintenance Plan and we’ll waive the $79.95 diagnostic fee.
We investigate the concern, explain the findings and quote any proposed repair before you approve the work.
Sign up for Maintenance Plan →No heat, weak cooling, a new noise or a system that never reaches the set temperature can point to different causes.
We distinguish the symptom from the cause and explain anything the initial checks have not resolved.
- Starting and running
- The thermostat, power supply and equipment operation as relevant to the symptom.
- Airflow and drainage
- Connected parts of the system that may be contributing to the reported concern.
- Heating-specific checks
- A furnace problem may also call for checks of ignition, safety controls and venting.
After the investigation
What we found and what happens next
Parts, the fault and any further work determine what can happen during the visit.
A part is needed
We explain which part is needed and whether another visit is required.
Further checks are needed
We explain why, what they involve and any additional cost before continuing.
Replacement is worth comparing
We explain the reason and discuss replacement as a separate option.

Before you decide
What to expect from a diagnostic visit
Review the common questions and use the symptom checker for guidance before requesting a visit. A technician will need to diagnose the cause.
What happens if the first checks do not establish a repair?
We explain what remains uncertain, the next testing proposed and its cost before continuing. A part order or return visit is discussed separately. The HVAC diagnostic visit is $79.95, waived when you sign up for the Maintenance Plan. Any further testing, repair or return-visit work is explained separately before approval.
Is the diagnostic visit the same as the repair price?
The visit investigates a concern; the proposed repair is a separate decision. Ask for the current visit fee, what it covers and any credit terms before arranging service. Repair work is quoted for approval after the findings.
What if the first checks lead to more investigation?
Ask which question remains unresolved, what the further checks involve and whether they carry an additional cost. The next step should be explained before you approve it.
When do I approve the repair?
After we explain the findings, proposed work and quoted repair price.
Is this the same as maintenance?
Diagnosis starts with a problem to investigate. Maintenance checks and cares for equipment as part of its upkeep. Describe a stopped system or a fault when requesting help.
Will the repair be completed the same day?
That depends on the fault, work and parts needed. Availability and any parts are confirmed for your request; submitting a form does not reserve a same-day visit or repair.
What if the initial checks don’t resolve the issue?
We explain what remains uncertain and any proposed further investigation and cost before continuing.
