AC pricing in this city can feel like a lottery. One technician quotes ₹350 for a "service", another ₹900, and a third wants ₹3,000 for gas before he's even looked. No wonder people are wary.
So here's every number laid out: what a service should include, what typical repairs cost, and what changes the price. All figures include labour and parts (confirm against your own rate card before publishing). Your exact quote always comes after diagnosis and before any work.

What Changes the Price, and Questions
Inverter vs Non-Inverter
Inverter parts, especially boards and BLDC fan motors, cost more. Most ACs sold in the last five years are inverter models.
Gas Type and Tonnage
Larger ACs need more refrigerant. R22 costs more as it's phased out; R32 and R410A are more stable in price.
Access to the Outdoor Unit
An outdoor unit on a high ledge, on a sloping roof or above a busy road takes longer and may need safety equipment. We'll tell you before booking.
Pricing Questions
Why is gas never included in an AC service price?
A healthy AC doesn't need gas. Low gas means a leak, which is a separate repair. Gas refill vs leak repair
Do you give multi-AC discounts?
Yes, for three or more ACs at one address. Ask when booking, or consider an AMC.
Are your charges higher in summer?
No. Our rates stay the same all year. Booking a service before April does get you a better choice of time slots.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, [WARRANTY_DAYS] days on labour and fitted parts. Warranty policy
