Maintenance: Another Company Will Do It Cheaper.

There are many HVAC companies that you can choose from to perform maintenance on your system. You will also find that there may be a range of pricing for the job. How do you know if you're getting the best value? Ask what will be included with the maintenance. Some companies do not include some services with the maintenance. For example, outdoor coils on air conditioning systems should be cleaned during the maintenance to ensure it is clean, allowing proper airflow. Many companies will only do a visual inspection of the coil, and if dirt is observed on the surface of the coil, they will charge an additional fee for the coil cleaning. Other companies will include the coil cleaning with the maintenance. This is just one example of the differences between companies.

Be very cautious with offers of services that are extremely inexpensive. There are companies who place sales expectations on their technicians. They will offer a low price to get a technician into your home. Then the technician will try to sell upgraded services and unnecessary repairs.

In short, it comes down to the old saying, "You get what you pay for."
