Can you give me an estimate to repair my HVAC system?
No – not up front before the technician examines your system. Every HVAC system repair is unique. Our Sears Home Services tech will need to visit your home and examine the HVAC system before providing you an accurate estimate for repairs.
We charge a diagnostic fee (also called a trip fee) that varies by service area and the type of HVAC system that you have. You’re not charged the diagnostic fee until the day of service. The diagnostic fee typically varies from $130 to $150 for most HVAC systems. Visit our online Service Scheduler to see the diagnostic fee for your HVAC system and service area.
Once the technician arrives at your home and diagnoses the system failure, you will receive a quote for parts, labor, and applicable taxes to complete the repair.
