Pricing guide
The cost depends mainly on whether the job is a simple diagnostic/minor repair, sealed‑system work, or a major component replacement. Sealed‑system tasks (evacuate, pressure‑test, brazing and refrigerant recharge) and large compressor or coil swaps often require specialist consumables, longer onsite time and extra personnel or equipment. Timing and site access can also affect the final price.
Repair severity and scope
Simple diagnostics and small part swaps are usually quicker than major compressor or coil replacements that involve significant disassembly and re‑commissioning.
Sealed‑system work required
Jobs that need evacuation, pressure testing, brazing or refrigerant recharge typically take longer and need specialist consumables and licensed handling.
Parts, refrigerant type and availability
High‑cost or hard‑to‑supply components and particular refrigerant types or volumes can significantly increase materials and lead times.
Number of technicians and equipment hire
Major repairs may require multiple technicians, lifting equipment or secondary trades, which expands the scope and duration of the job.
Timing and site access
After‑hours attendance, restricted access or difficult site conditions generally increase labour time and logistical complexity.
