Pricing guide
The cost of general heating work is primarily driven by the callout, technician hours and any replacement parts. Complex systems, safety‑critical symptoms and after‑hours attendance typically increase diagnostic time and scope, and permits, isolation or additional paperwork can add to the overall job.
Callout fee and labour time
The base callout plus technician hours usually cover diagnosis and any on-site repairs, and uncertainty in the fault can widen the expected labour time.
System type and complexity
Ducted, hydronic or wood‑fire systems typically need more access work, specialist tools or multiple technicians, increasing time and materials.
Safety‑critical symptoms
Symptoms such as gas smell, smoke or active error codes generally require more cautious diagnostics, possible isolation and additional paperwork.
Parts availability and replacement
If replacement parts are unavailable or a full unit replacement is needed, the initial visit will often cover diagnostics only and a follow-up visit will be required.
After‑hours and permit requirements
Work outside standard hours typically attracts a higher rate, and some complex or safety jobs may need permits or certificates that extend the scope.
