AC Repair
Not cooling, refrigerant leaks, compressor failure, frozen coils, capacitor replacement — the #1 summer emergency, and the one shady techs love to upsell.
$150–$650 · Most Common · See AC Repair Prices →
Furnace & Heating Repair
Won't ignite, pilot light issues, blower motor failure, cracked heat exchanger (carbon monoxide risk), and no-heat emergencies in freezing temps.
$130–$1,200 · Emergency · See Furnace Prices →
Full System Replacement
New AC + furnace, or upgrading to a heat pump. Includes equipment, labor, old-system removal, and refrigerant handling. Average system lasts 15–20 years (DOE).
$7,500–$15,500 · Major Investment · See Replacement Prices →
Heat Pump Installation
Dual heating and cooling in one unit. Energy-efficient, qualifies for federal tax credits. Repair costs $200–$2,000. New installation: $4,000–$8,000.
$200–$8,000 · Trending · See Heat Pump Prices →
Duct Cleaning & Sealing
Air duct cleaning, duct sealing, and ventilation improvements. Leaky ducts waste 20–30% of conditioned air. Cleaning improves indoor air quality and cuts energy bills.
$300–$500 · Air Quality · See Duct Prices →
Seasonal Tune-Up
Spring AC prep or fall furnace check. Catches failing capacitors, refrigerant leaks, and dirty coils before they become $600+ emergency repairs. The smartest $150 you'll spend.
$75–$200 · Preventive · See Tune-Up Prices →
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Lint out, airflow back — trap to exterior cap cleared with rotary brushes and vacuum, blockages found and removed.
$100–$200 · See Dryer Vent Prices →Need something not listed? Mini-split installs, thermostat upgrades, zoning systems, whole-home humidifiers — post the job and let verified HVAC techs tell you what it'll cost.
HVAC Repair Near Me: Describe the Problem. Get Honest Bids. Stay Cool.
Whether your AC is blowing hot air or your furnace won't ignite — here's how AllBetter eliminates the guesswork and the upselling.
Post Your HVAC Issue
Take a photo of the unit and describe what's happening: no cool air, strange noises, won't turn on, leaking water. Include the brand and model if you can see it. Verified HVAC techs see the details and bid accurately — no lowball-then-upsell games.

Compare Multiple Diagnoses
If one tech quotes $8,000 for a new system and two others bid $400 for the repair, you just learned something. Multiple verified diagnoses, compared side by side, protect you from the replace-everything upsell.

Pay After the Air Flows
Your money waits in escrow while the tech fixes or replaces the system. Cool air first, then tap Approve to release payment. No deposits. Posting and comparing is free; a small service fee applies at booking.

The HVAC Industry Has an Upselling Problem.
Dishonest techs fake failures and push $10,000 replacements when a $200 part would fix it. Two checks and one habit shut that down:
ID-Verified to Bid
Government ID confirmed by identity — the same tech Amazon and Instacart trust — before a tech ever sees your address.
Every pro · no exceptionsEscrow-Protected Payment
Your money sits in escrow while the work happens. The pro is paid when you approve the finished job — not before.
Spot the ★ badgeGet a Second Opinion Free
Multiple verified techs bid the same job — so a $12,000 "replacement" lands right next to a $300 fix. The upseller exposes himself.
Built-in upsell protectionSame HVAC Job. Bids 257% Apart.
Across 37 multi-bid hvac jobs on AllBetter, the high bid runs 257% over the low bid on the same scope — an AC repair can come back at wildly different prices. Every bid comes back on the same scope, side by side, so you can see at a glance who’s fair — before anyone shows up.
