Older homes (median built 1955) may have outdated wiring or ductwork that increases labor time. The need for a mechanical permit, set by local city rules, adds to the total. Refrigerant type also matters—R-410A is being phased out, so repairs using R-454B or R-32 may be more expensive. Finally, emergency after-hours calls typically carry a higher rate.
