Ask for an air conditioning serviceQuestions
How much does an air conditioning service cost?
It depends on how many units, access, how dirty they are and whether gas is needed. With tabhood you set your maximum and only pros whose price fits are asked.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
Once a year is usual, before summer. In between, clean the filters yourself about once a month when you use it a lot.
Does a service include refrigerant gas?
No. A unit only needs gas if it leaks, and a good technician looks for the leak first. Gas is charged separately and you agree the price before.
How long does it take?
About an hour for one unit; each extra unit in the same visit adds 30 to 45 minutes.
What if no pro fits my price?
You see the closest public price and decide. Your request can stay open and we message you when a pro fits.
