Do heating specialists charge call-out fees?

Accepted Answer

Call-out fees are common for heating specialists and usually cover travel and the initial inspection. This fee is often separate from labour time and materials and may form part of a minimum charge for small jobs. It’s worth confirming whether a call-out fee applies when requesting a quote.

Question 3

Do heating specialists need a licence in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Heating work generally needs to be carried out by a licensed tradesperson in every Australian state and territory, and in NSW the relevant authority is NSW Fair Trading (Building Commission NSW). You should ask to see their licence number and evidence of public liability insurance, and consider industry credentials such as AIRAH or AMCA as additional trust signals.
