FAQs
What issues can your state-of-the-art diagnostic service detect in my HVAC system?
Our advanced testing platform pinpoints a wide range of problems—including weak blower motors, refrigerant leaks, thermostat communication errors, airflow restrictions, dirty coils, failing igniters, short cycling, and sensor or control board malfunctions. By combining infrared imaging, digital static-pressure readings, and proprietary software analytics, we can isolate both mechanical and electrical faults before they cause a total breakdown or excessive energy consumption.
How does the diagnostic process work and how long will it take?
A certified technician arrives with a tablet-integrated diagnostic kit. After visually inspecting your furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner, we connect smart probes to measure temperature differentials, refrigerant pressures, and voltage draws in real time. Data streams to our cloud platform, which benchmarks your system against manufacturer specs and regional norms for Lynchburg’s climate. Most single-system evaluations take 45–60 minutes, and you receive a digital health report on-site before we leave.
Will the diagnostic test interrupt my heating or cooling while you are working?
Only briefly. We cycle the equipment through normal heating and cooling modes to gather live data, but each test window lasts just a few minutes. Your comfort settings return automatically, and there is no need to power down the unit for an extended period. If temperatures are extreme, we stage tests strategically so indoor conditions remain stable.
How much does an HVAC diagnostic visit cost in the Lynchburg area, and do you offer a warranty?
Our flat-rate diagnostic fee is $119 for the first system and $69 for each additional system tested during the same visit. If you authorize the recommended repair within 30 days, we credit the entire diagnostic fee toward the repair cost. All diagnostic findings are guaranteed accurate for 90 days, and any parts we install afterward carry a minimum one-year parts and labor warranty.
Can I schedule a diagnostic appointment after normal business hours or on weekends?
Yes. We understand that many homeowners and businesses can’t afford downtime during the workday. Evening appointments are available Monday–Friday until 8 p.m., and we offer Saturday slots from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Emergency diagnostics outside these windows are also possible for an additional after-hours service charge.
What happens after the diagnostics are complete—will you handle repairs and provide an estimate?
Immediately after testing, the technician reviews the digital report with you, prioritizing any critical issues. You’ll receive a clear, itemized quote for recommended repairs or component replacements, including parts, labor, and expected timelines. Our vans are stocked with common OEM parts, so we can often resolve minor issues on the spot. For larger repairs or system upgrades, we schedule follow-up work at your convenience and coordinate any necessary permits or utility rebates available in the Lynchburg area.
