HVAC Billing Methods Explained
HVAC businesses typically use these billing approaches:
1. Flat Rate Pricing
Fixed prices for common services (tune-ups, filter changes, standard repairs). Customers know the cost upfront, and you avoid disputes over time spent.
2. Diagnostic Fee + Repair Quote
Charge for the service call and diagnosis ($75-150), then provide a separate quote for the repair. The diagnostic fee may be waived if they proceed with the repair.
3. Time & Materials
Hourly labor plus parts and refrigerant. Best for commercial work or complex residential repairs where scope is uncertain.
4. Service Agreements
Monthly or annual contracts for preventive maintenance with discounted service rates. Provides recurring revenue and customer retention.

How to Bill for Refrigerant
