A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a typical charge levied by HVAC companies when a technician is dispatched to your home to diagnose the root cause of what’s affecting your furnace or air conditioner. The service call charge covers the technician’s time, experience and any gas or other travel expenses associated with assessing the problem. It’s basically a service fee for the technician’s professional evaluation to find the cause of the malfunction.
Think of it like a doctor’s appointment. They must examine you to understand what’s wrong before proposing treatment. Just the same, the HVAC technician must diagnose your HVAC equipment to figure out the repair or maintenance course of action.
