What happens when you call Total Comfort

The quick answer

When you call Total Comfort, our team asks a few questions about your system, walks you through quick checks, and schedules a technician, generally at your door in under two hours. The diagnostic visit is a flat $129, and you get the price before any work starts. Common parts are on every truck, so about half of calls are fixed on the first visit. If a warranty part is needed, we start on it first thing the next morning.

You call, and we ask the right questions

Our customer service team asks about your system and what you’re noticing. Many winter calls turn out to be normal, like the first-run smell or the defrost cycle, and we’ll walk you through those on the phone.

A nearby technician heads your way

“We rotate a team of on-call technicians. Over 50 years of doing this, we’ve perfected it to where we have teams in different areas on standby, ready to go, similar to first responders. Generally, when we get a call in, we can have somebody there in under 2 hours, and we try to beat that time every time.”

Jason Healy, Operations Manager

If calls spike during a cold snap or heat wave, we’ll let you know if we’re running behind. Maintenance plan members get priority service.

Diagnosis first, price before work

“We don’t like giving prices on something when we don’t know what it is yet. We’d rather send a technician out to diagnose it, explain what needs fixing, and give you a real price.”

Fixed on the spot, or a plan for tomorrow

Our trucks carry the parts that fail most often, like capacitors, blower motors and drain float switches.

“I’d say it’s 50-50 where we can fix it right then and there, or we have to get the part warrantied. If we have an aftermarket part that can get them by until we get the other part, that’s what we’ll do.”

Warranty parts, handled for you

Factory warranty parts can only be ordered during business hours. Our parts and warranty team files the claim first thing in the morning, and our parts runners get it to your technician as quickly as possible.

Hot night, part arriving tomorrow? In summer, if we can’t get a part until the next day, we bring a spot cooler to give you relief in the meantime. In winter, your heat strips usually keep you warm until the repair is done.
