Why Air Conditioning Repairs Are Charged By The Job & How That Helps You?

Calculating the costs of Air Conditioning Repairs here in Hawaiian Gardens, CA is often the first task when someone like you needs our help. However, it can seem mysterious and shady if we fail to provide adequate reasons to charge a flat rate for certain jobs, especially if we fail to answer questions about why we charge so much! That’s why we want to take the time to fully explain what you’re getting when you hire a company like ours, and how this often results in added benefits to you, such as cheaper utility costs and better performance from your unit.

Why We Don’t Charge By the Hour?

Have you ever wondered why many companies, including ourselves at Thomson Air Conditioning, offer free estimates and service calls? That’s because we need to inspect the unit to see what problems it’s having, what parts it may need, and how long it’ll take to service the system. If a company charged you for all the driving, searching for parts, inspecting, and then finally the fixing it would yield many billable hours. That would lead to unhappy customers who may not call the company ever again!

What the Costs Entail?

So that’s why we will carefully, but efficiently, tally up the costs before we take a job, and only charge by the job you will need. By the end of a service call, our technicians will have tallied how much time it will take to do the job, what parts we’ll need, if any, and the costs of the type of labor needed to perform Air Conditioning Repairs in Hawaiian Gardens, CA as well. Those are the costs that are directly affected by doing this job for you, but there are other hidden costs as well that we do our best to minimize. These are costs associated with running the business like stocking often-needed parts, maintaining our repair trucks, and buying specialized tools to do work only our technicians can perform. Now obviously we don’t charge you for these things, but these are costs we must consider for each job to maintain these expenses. Honesty is the name of the game.

Reviews

Real Customers. Real Experiences.

It was time to service the fan blower unit and had a pleasant experience again working with Glenn and his trainee George. I appreciated the time Glenn took to ensure George's work met the expectations that Glenn would have performed the job to. It's not often companies have seasoned experienced employees that can share their knowledge and experience with new staff. I hope Thomson keeps Glenn around for many more years!

Over the years, we've used Thomson to do major HVAC construction, equipment replacement and service. They are always very thorough, knowledgeable, considerate and the prices are fair. They have a lot of experienced technicians on their team and communicating with the office is easy. We get our system serviced every 6 months (very important) and they actually offer a monthly payment plan for that. I didn't take off a star (because they do offer a fantastic service), but it is difficult if something breaks during the weekend. They won't respond until offices open on Monday. But they will get you in as soon as possible and the service is great.

Very honest company and great customer service. It’s been a long time since we had our AC unit inspected and after all these years it’s still good to go and ready for summer! Ethan did a great job answering all my questions. Quick, efficient and very knowledgeable. Thanks Thomson!

Ethan was great and was very helpful in helping me understand the unit. He came out the same day I called and had parts on his truck to make the repairs right then and there. Ethan was very friendly and I would recommend him and Thomson Air Conditioning to anyone in the future.
