Pricing guide
Cost is driven mainly by fault severity and the type of ventilation system involved. Reported 'not working' failures typically need more diagnostic time and likely parts replacement, while whole‑home HRV/ERV systems usually require extra diagnostic, balancing time and higher parts allowances. Callout fees, labour time on site and after‑hours attendance also typically affect the final price.
Fault severity and symptoms
A unit that will not start or operate generally requires more diagnostic time and likely parts replacement than intermittent faults.
System type and complexity
Simple bathroom or kitchen fans are usually quicker to repair than whole‑home HRV/ERV or balanced systems, which need specialist diagnostics and balancing.
Access and installation location
Roof, attic or ceiling‑mounted units and limited access typically increase labour time and may require specialist equipment or safety measures.
Diagnostics and balancing time
Multi‑point testing, airflow balancing and system commissioning add labour time compared with straightforward fan replacement.
Parts availability and proprietary components
Discontinued, proprietary or hard‑to‑source parts may require specialist quoting or lead times, which can change the job scope.
