FAQs
What does “transparent upfront pricing” mean for air-conditioning services in Birchwood?
Transparent upfront pricing means you will see the full, itemized cost of the job—labor, parts, taxes, and any permit fees—before any work begins. Once you approve the written quote, that price is locked in. There are no hidden surcharges, overtime fees, or “surprise” add-ons when the technician finishes the repair or installation.
How is my service call fee applied if I decide to proceed with a repair?
In Birchwood we charge a modest diagnostic/service call fee that covers the technician’s travel and complete system evaluation. If you authorize the recommended repair the same day, we credit 100 % of that fee toward the final bill. If you choose not to proceed, you only pay the diagnostic fee—no pressure, no additional charges.
Does transparent pricing apply to emergency or after-hours air-conditioning repairs?
Yes. Whether you call at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., the same published price book applies. Our emergency dispatch fee is clearly listed, and labor rates remain fixed regardless of the time of day, weekends, or holidays. You will receive the total cost in writing before the technician starts, so you can make an informed decision even in urgent situations.
What if the technician discovers additional issues once the repair is underway?
If the technician uncovers a problem that was not evident during the initial diagnostic (for example, a hidden refrigerant leak behind a coil), they will stop work and explain the findings. You’ll receive an updated written quote for the additional work. We will not proceed until you approve the revised price, ensuring you stay in control of costs throughout the job.
How are installation quotes for new air-conditioning systems calculated?
Our installation quotes are fully turnkey and include equipment, labor, duct modifications, disposal of old units, Birchwood permit fees, and sales tax. We perform a Manual J load calculation to size the system correctly, then present good, better, and best options with exact dollar amounts. Financing terms, utility rebates, and manufacturer warranties are all detailed in the same quote so you know the true net cost up front.
Are maintenance plan prices also fixed and transparent?
Absolutely. Our Birchwood Comfort Club lists a flat annual or monthly rate that covers two precision tune-ups, priority scheduling, a 10 % parts discount, and a waived diagnostic fee if repairs are needed during membership. There are no enrollment charges or automatic price escalations; any future rate changes are communicated in writing 30 days in advance, letting you renew—or not—on your terms.
