How HVAC companies usually price
HVAC shops price repairs flat from a price book, replacements as good, better and best options, and sell maintenance plans to fill the shoulder seasons.
Our guide on pricing HVAC work walks through it step by step, from your labor rate to the price on the estimate.
Where the ranges come from
6 of the 13 services carry a range. Each one comes from a koira.ai calculator that lists the cost guides behind it and the date they were checked: hvac replacement cost calculator, air duct cleaning cost calculator, dryer vent cleaning cost calculator. They are national figures; the calculators scale the labor share to your state's wages when you enter a ZIP.
Lines marked "Set your own" have no range we could source well enough to publish. Price them from your own hours and parts.
What it takes to deliver this menu
The starter kit behind these services: digital refrigerant gauges with temperature clamps; hvac multimeter with microamps; hvac clamp meter; vacuum pump and micron gauge; refrigerant recovery machine and recovery tank; leak detector; fin comb, coil cleaner and a pump sprayer; nut drivers, a service wrench and a hand tool set; step ladder; static pressure kit or manometer. The full tools list adds the pro kit and van stock, with maker prices where we could check them.
