A running system and a broken system should not be sold the same visit. Use the prices below to choose the right starting point, then Scott confirms any repair price before repair work begins.
$95 Springfield / $145 Nixa / $190 ordinary travel over 30 minutesDue when the diagnostic is completed. Branson or unusual travel requires Scott approval.
$95 in Springfield, $145 in Nixa, or $190 for ordinary travel more than 30 minutes away. Branson or unusual travel requires Scott approval.
For no-cool, weak cooling, freezing, leaking, short cycling, breaker trips, thermostat, drain, or response problems.
Good fit when:
The house is not cooling correctly
The outdoor unit will not start, clicks, hums, or trips
Water, ice, hot smell, airflow, or thermostat clues are involved
Diagnostic pricing is based on location and travel time. Springfield diagnostic visits are $95, Nixa diagnostic visits are $145, and ordinary travel more than 30 minutes away is $190. Branson, unusual travel, rural roads, or difficult access requires Scott's approval before the fee or appointment is confirmed. The diagnostic fee is due when the diagnostic is completed. Repairs are quoted separately after Scott diagnoses the system.
Parts, repairs, refrigerant work, drain repairs, blower wheel removal/cleaning, heavy coil cleaning, and difficult-access work are priced separately before work begins. That is why the diagnostic exists. The visit should narrow the problem first, then the repair price should match the finding.
Scott checks the symptom before talking repair price. A no-cool call can be airflow, electrical, thermostat, drain, coil condition, or equipment failure.

Explain what changed
You should know what the system is doing, what was checked, and whether the next step is maintenance, repair, or another decision.
3
Approve repair before work
Repair work is priced after the issue is confirmed and before the repair moves forward. No mystery parts list over text.
