Frequently Asked Questions
Is a standard residential HVAC visit free?
Yes. MaksBuilder lists the standard residential visit as free. The inspection depends on the reported problem and the equipment that can be accessed. Additional diagnostic testing, replacement parts and repair work may cost extra. The scope should be discussed before that work begins.
How much does an urgent or overnight HVAC visit cost?
An urgent or overnight residential visit is $150. Emergency visits are available around the clock Monday through Friday; Saturday and Sunday service hours are 8:00 AM–6:00 PM. Call (949) 740-0410 to confirm availability for your address.
Is a diagnostic fee credited toward a repair?
Yes. When a diagnostic fee applies, MaksBuilder credits it toward an approved repair. Ask how the credit applies to your specific appointment when reviewing the repair estimate.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my AC?
The decision depends on the confirmed fault, equipment condition, past repairs, parts availability and the current repair quote. An older AC system does not automatically require replacement. See AC Repair for the types of problems evaluated.
Does replacing an HVAC system require a permit?
MaksBuilder obtains a permit for each system replacement. The project may also involve HERS testing and city inspection. Confirm which permit and inspection costs are included in the written proposal before approving installation. See AC Installation & Replacement.
