Markets covered

Each market uses city-level public data and sample ZIP codes so the same calculator can adapt to local cost pressure.

Data transparency

Cost ranges are computed from public snapshots: Census city housing and income data, EIA residential electricity prices, PVWatts production, BLS wage baselines, IRS mileage, and Freddie Mac mortgage rates. Advertising benchmarks are kept as context only and never treated as a revenue guarantee.

Assumptions and model basis

  • visit = diagnostic trip + loaded BLS HVACR labor hours + climate-adjusted parts allowance; urgency adjusts schedule-sensitive jobs.
  • Local cost index is derived from public housing, rent, and household-income data; it is a cost-pressure proxy, not a contractor bid database.
  • Does not include permit surprises, structural defects, financing points, rebates, taxes beyond listed assumptions, or bid availability.

Coverage limitations

  • It is not a contractor quote or bid; actual bids can change with scope, access, permits, and contractor availability.
  • The local cost index is a public-data proxy for local cost pressure, not a live bid marketplace.
  • It estimates a repair visit, not full equipment replacement, refrigerant-specific work, or duct redesign.
