We know that keeping your home comfortable isn’t just about the temperature—it’s about trust. When you call us, you’re inviting us into your home, and we take that responsibility seriously. We believe in honesty, transparency, and delivering professional, outstanding service every time.
Lately, we have noted shifts in HVAC prices, and we want to be upfront about the causes.
Like many industries, the costs of labor, materials, and operations have risen. We’re committed to keeping our pricing as fair as possible while maintaining the high-quality service and expertise you deserve. Here’s what’s behind these changes:
1. Labor Costs Are Rising
Finding and keeping skilled HVAC technicians isn’t as easy as it used to be. There’s a national shortage of qualified professionals, which means wages have increased by 10-15% to attract and retain the best in the business.
On top of that, ongoing training and certifications (like EPA and NATE certifications) are essential to staying up-to-date with new technologies and environmental standards. These certifications ensure our team is equipped to provide safe, efficient, and high-quality service, but they also increase operational costs.
2. Equipment & Material Prices Have Surged
The cost of essential HVAC components like compressors and coils has jumped by 15-25% due to tariffs, supply chain disruptions and manufacturing costs. Additionally, new regulations on refrigerants have increased the price of R-410A by 30-40%, while newer alternatives like R-454B and R-32 are also seeing price hikes. Raw materials like copper, steel, and aluminum have also become significantly more expensive. These increases make the equipment we install and service more costly, but we work hard to find the best value for our customers.
3. Business Operating Expenses Have Gone Up
Like homeowners, businesses are seeing higher costs across the board. Rent, utilities, software, and vehicle maintenance have all increased by 8-20%. Fuel costs alone have jumped by 15-20%, making it more expensive to get our technicians to your home. We’re constantly optimizing our operations to keep costs down without sacrificing service quality.
4. Warranty & Customer Service Costs Are Increasing
We stand behind our work, which means honoring warranties and providing reliable customer support. Rising parts and labor costs have made warranty claims more expensive to fulfill, while the need for 24/7 emergency service means higher overtime wages for our team. To ensure we’re always there when you need us, we continue investing in modern scheduling and dispatching systems that keep wait times low and service quality high.
5. The Cost of Reaching Our Customers Has Grown
Getting the word out about our services isn’t as simple as it used to be. Digital marketing costs, including paid ads and social media promotions, have risen by 20-25%. Even traditional marketing, like radio and print ads, has become 10-15% more expensive. Despite these changes, we remain committed to staying connected with our community and providing valuable resources to help you make informed HVAC decisions.
6. Seasonal Challenges & Year-Round Staffing
HVAC demand fluctuates with the weather, but to ensure we have top-tier technicians available year-round, we provide competitive wages and benefits even during slower seasons. Maintaining a stable, experienced workforce means you’ll always get reliable service, no matter when you need us.
7. Staying Compliant with New Regulations
Environmental and safety regulations continue to evolve, and we fully support these efforts to make HVAC systems safer and more efficient. However, compliance comes at a cost. Stricter refrigerant regulations, enhanced fire and safety codes, and new building standards require ongoing investment in training, equipment, and materials.
