Advice regarding air conditioning companies offering free service calls with a repair.

If it sounds too good to be true it almost always is. In most cases when an HVAC company offers a free service call with a repair they will overcharge for the repair. When you call the company that claims to offer a free service call, you will end up paying much more than you would have with the company that charges for the service call but gives you an honest price on the repair.
When a contractor offers a free service call, they simply have to make up the difference somewhere. Even if the problem is very small, for instance a part that is only a few bucks, they will most likely exaggerate the problem to cover the cost of the service call.

You will never get a $25.00 repair with a free service call.

If a business owner is going to lie in an advertisement just to get you to call him, what is there to stop him from being dishonest in any other aspect of his business?

This also applies to companies that claim they don’t charge extra for after-hours service. After all, time is money, and nobody works for free!

The difference between having a repair done by a legitimate company and one claiming to offer free after-hours service could end up costing you hundreds of dollars more.
