What emergency service costs
An emergency visit is the $49 diagnostic plus a $149 after-hours dispatch fee on nights, weekends and holidays, and we confirm both on the phone before a truck rolls. The repair itself is priced the same as a daytime repair.
| Item | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic / service call | $49 | Written repair price before any work starts |
| After-hours dispatch | $149 | Nights, weekends and holidays, added to the diagnostic |
What moves the price

- Distance from Scottsboro
- What failed and whether the part is on the truck

Emergency replacements can be financed with approved credit, even at night.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions we hear every week
Do you really answer at 2am?
Yes. Calls to (256) 519-0736 reach a person 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We dispatch true emergencies first: no heat in freezing weather, no cooling with vulnerable people in the home, electrical hazards, and active water leaks.
What counts as an HVAC emergency?
No heat when it is below about 40°F outside, no cooling when it is above about 90°F, any burning smell or repeated breaker trips, water leaking from the system, and any gas smell. If you are unsure, call and we will tell you honestly whether it can wait until morning.
How much extra does after-hours service cost?
The after-hours dispatch fee is $149, added to the $49 diagnostic. We confirm both on the phone before dispatch. The repair price itself does not change because of the hour.
What should I do while I wait?
Turn the system off at the thermostat if it is making noise, leaking, or tripping breakers. For a frozen AC, switch the thermostat to Off and the fan to On to start thawing. For no heat, close off unused rooms and use space heaters safely. Never run a generator indoors.
Do you cover Huntsville and Madison at night?
Yes. Emergency coverage includes Scottsboro, Huntsville, Madison, Guntersville and the surrounding communities. Drive time is part of the arrival window we give you on the call.
