Repair and replacement are different conversations
| Topic | Repair discussion | Replacement discussion |
|---|---|---|
| Primary question | What failed, and what is required to restore operation? | What equipment and scope suit the home and comfort goals? |
| Pricing detail | Diagnosis, parts, labor, warranty, and additional findings | Equipment, sizing, labor, permits, controls, disposal, and warranty |
| Useful comparison | Written repair scope and any limits on the repair | Written proposals with comparable scope, ratings, warranties, and exclusions |
Questions to ask before authorizing work
- What company will perform the work, and who is providing the estimate?
- What licenses and insurance are required locally, and can the provider document them?
- What is included and excluded from the written scope and price?
- Are permits or inspections required, and who is responsible for them?
- What equipment, parts, labor, and workmanship warranties apply?
- What payment and cancellation terms apply?
New residential HVAC request
Call now or send the service details online.
The HVAC call line is for a new residential repair or replacement request. It is not customer service for an existing appointment, bill, warranty, or contractor.
Home Service Compass may receive compensation for a qualified call or referral. The provider is responsible for its own estimate, credentials, terms, and work.
