At Family Home Services, we understand that when your heating or cooling system breaks down, you need fast, reliable service. That's why we have an initial diagnostic charge of $100 to send a certified technician to your home. This fee covers the trip to your location and a thorough assessment of your mechanical systems to pinpoint the immediate problem with your equipment. If the issue requires a more in-depth analysis or testing that will results in additional charges, we'll always inform you of any further charges before proceeding. Once we've identified the root cause of your issue, we'll clearly explain the necessary repairs and provide you with a comprehensive quote, detailing all costs, before any work begins, ensuring complete transparency.  If you hire us to perform the one or more of the repairs in our proposal, we apply the $100 initial diagnostic fee toward that repair.

At Family Home Services, we believe in transparent and fair pricing. We understand that every heating and cooling repair is unique, and different problems require different solutions and levels of expertise. That's why, rather than charging by the hour or for materials alone, we use an upfront pricing model based on the specific tasks necessary to complete the repair. This means that before we can give you a firm price, our skilled technician will first need to thoroughly assess the situation and accurately diagnose the issue with your system. Once we've identified the problem, we'll provide you with a comprehensive, fixed price for the entire repair, ensuring you know the full cost before any work begins. This price reflects not only the necessary parts but also the specialized skill, experience, and knowledge required to complete the job correctly and efficiently, giving you peace of mind with no surprises.  We stand behind our work and our diagnosis.  If at any time a suggested repair fails or another diagnosis is needed, we always apply any money you already paid toward the total repair.

Are you considering a new heating or cooling system for your South Central Pennsylvania home?  Whether you need a furnace or boiler for those chilly Cumberland Valley winters or a new AC for the humid summers across Lancaster County? At Family Home Services, we offer two convenient ways to get a free, no-obligation estimate for a new system installation. You can start by using our user-friendly online estimator, which guides you through questions about your home's fuel type (like natural gas, oil, or electric), system size, and preferences to provide you with an initial idea of potential costs. Alternatively, for a more personalized assessment, we can dispatch a knowledgeable project manager to your home. They will meticulously evaluate your specific needs, consider your home's unique configuration—from older homes in Harrisburg to newer constructions in York—and present you with a range of customized, workable solutions and their associated upfront pricing. Both options are designed to give you clear information and empower you to make the best decision for your comfort and budget.

When your water heater in South Central Pennsylvania starts acting up – whether it's inconsistent temperatures in Carlisle, strange noises in Lancaster, or no hot water at all in York – Family Home Services is here to help. We understand that the hard water prevalent throughout much of our region, rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, can significantly contribute to the wear and tear on your water heater. Over time, these minerals accumulate as "scale" inside the tank and on heating elements, forcing your unit to work harder, reducing its efficiency, and ultimately shortening its lifespan. That's why we offer transparent water heater pricing to get you back to comfortable, reliable hot water quickly.

We're committed to providing clear solutions and upfront costs so you can make an informed decision without any surprises.
