What is NOT in our pricing

  • After-hours surcharge. $45 flat for evenings or Sundays.
  • Tax. NC sales tax is added at the point of invoice.

How to keep your repair cost down

  1. Call early. Same-day appointments are the best price; emergency after-hours adds $45.
  2. Have your model number ready. We pull a parts record before we dispatch, which means the right part is on the truck.
  3. Do not over-explain. Tell us the brand, the model, and the symptom. Skip what you read on YouTube.
  4. If your unit is on LG's class-action settlement list, tell us and we will check eligibility before charging.
