Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with the type of site and the technical complexity of the fault. Simple diagnostics and minor onsite repairs are typically quicker, while sealed-system work, specialist refrigerants or high-safety sites usually increase time and compliance overhead. After-hours attendance or coordination with business operations may also affect the overall scope.
Site type and operational impact
Commercial, retail and medical sites often need more coordination and may add time for inductions or minimising business disruption.
Sealed-system and refrigerant work
Work on sealed systems or refrigerant charging is generally more complex and may require specialist routing or additional approvals.
Compliance and induction requirements
Medical or laboratory sites typically involve extra compliance, documentation and PPE time that affect how the job is delivered.
After-hours attendance and urgency
Urgent or out-of-hours visits, especially for food-safety risks, usually change how the work is scheduled and resourced.
Parts, consumables and specialist components
Availability and type of replacement parts or specific refrigerants affect repair scope and may require returning visits if specialised items are needed.
