What Does REME technology mean for Longview TX?
Feb 3, 2012
When you get an estimate for air conditioning repair, you want to know how much it will cost. This sounds simple, but not all AC repair estimates are created equal. What should you look for in an estimate? Keep in mind that while the company can tell you over the phone what they charge for a service call, there is no way they can give you an accurate estimate until a technician diagnoses the problem.
A written estimate on company letterhead carries more weight than a verbal estimate. It should include a complete description of the work to be done and the materials to be used. You might want more than one estimate, but remember that cheaper is not always better. Always ask if there is a charge for the estimate.
Is The Air Conditioning Repair Guaranteed?
Do the parts and labor come with a guarantee? If so, for how long? A more expensive estimate might be a better option if it has a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. Review the warranty on your air conditioner beforehand to see if it covers any repair work and/or parts.
Ask About Hidden Costs Before Scheduling Service
Most companies that perform air conditioning repair in Longview TX charge a base price for a service call in addition to parts and labor. There may be additional charges for overtime or emergency service. Some air conditioning repair companies will not charge you for a service call if the repair is done immediately. If you want them to come back, you may be charged for another service call.
Does The Company Offer Discounts?
Many HVAC companies today offer specials, money-off deals and online coupons. Visit the company website to see if discounts on repairs or service calls are currently available. Also check to see whether the company takes credit card payments or offers financing options, with approved credit, if you are unable to pay the total cost of the repair after the work is completed.
