Great question! This is a common question we get from customers....

If a customer calls C&M Mechanical Heating and Cooling not knowing what service or repair is needed, just that something is wrong with their HVAC system  it is considered a service call. 

C&M Mechanical Heating and Cooling charges a $125 diagnostic fee for each service call, that takes into account our technician's travel, time troubleshooting the unit, and our HVAC tradesman expertise. We will tell you the exact issue and what the total repair cost will be. If you decide to move forward with the repair the $125 diagnostic fee will be waived. If you would like to get other quotes or wait to repair, you have 30 days to have your diagnostic fee credited back. 

If a customer calls C&M Mechanical Heating and Cooling for a project (thinking of changing out your unit, want to add a mini split to their ADU or garage, add a zoning system to their existing system,, etc.) OR you know exactly what service/part you need repaired (e.g. Another company gave me a quote of this much to change out a blower motor, how much do you charge?) we can give you an Estimate or Estimated Repair cost for FREE.

Whether you go with C&M Mechanical Heating and Cooling or another contractor be aware of those offering FREE Estimates for repairs! 99% of the time they will tell you your system can't be fixed and need to change out. If they do, get a second or third opinion from C&M Mechanical Heating and Cooling or another reputable HVAC contractor, pay the diagnostic fee and most likely you will find your system is repairable, saving you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

There are several ways to improve the efficiency of your HVAC system. The best way is to make sure you are doing the proper maintenance. For residential it is recommended to do every 6 months but at minimum annually (between March-May to prepare for those hot Summer days), and for commercial to be performed quarterly. Regular maintenances are a way to be proactive in not just replacing the filters and cleaning the units thoroughly but finding any issues with the unit before they become a bigger and more expensive problem.  Additionally, sealing any air leaks in your home or business and upgrading to a programmable thermostat also help.

If your HVAC system breaks down, contact C&M Mechanical Heating and Cooling immediately. We offer emergency repair services 24/7 to ensure that your heating or cooling system is back up and running as soon as possible.
