- Repairs: the part that failed matters most – a recharge or capacitor is cheap, a compressor is not.
- New systems: size (tons), efficiency rating (SEER2/AFUE), brand and whether ductwork needs work.
- Service-call fees of $100–$250 and labor of $100–$250 an hour are typical.
- Old systems using R-22 refrigerant are expensive to recharge and often better replaced.
