What factors affect the cost of a heat pump repair?
- Replacement parts: Heat pumps stay active all year long. That puts a lot of strain on individual parts. Eventually, a part will need to be replaced, and those parts have costs ranging from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars. Golden Rule will always be honest about what caused your heat pump's issue. And we'll always give you repair options because it's the right thing to do.
- Warranty status: Heat pump warranties come in two varieties. The first is the labor warranty issued by the contractor who installed the system (or repaired it last). The second is a parts warranty issued by the manufacturer of the heat pump. A Golden Rule technician will always check the status of any warranties to make sure you get the most affordable repair possible.
- Contractor experience: When hiring a company or individual contractor to repair your heat pump, it's best to think in terms of the value provided rather than cost alone. Golden Rule keeps our prices fair and adds additional protections that smaller contractors just can't provide. While their pricing may be slightly lower, Golden Rule's value is through the roof.
Every person that’s come out has been friendly, professional, and more importantly - upfront and honest about their options and prices.
