• What are BTUs in air conditioning?

• Is it required to service AC every year?

In many cases, having seasonal maintenance and upkeep also keeps the manufacturer’s warranty valid.

• What is SEER in air conditioning?

• What is a Diagnostic Fee?

  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 determining the underlying cause of the problem. It’s in essence a service fee for the technician’s professional inspection to pinpoint the cause of the malfunction.

  It’s similar to a doctor’s appointment. They must do some preliminary tests or an examination to understand what’s wrong before recommending treatment. Just the same, your HVAC professional must inspect your system to decide on the needed repairs or maintenance.
