How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the company, ranked against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 4.9 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What do HVAC services cost near Richmond?

HVAC pricing swings with the job: a repair, a tune-up, a mini-split, a heat pump conversion and a full furnace swap are priced very differently. Home age, ductwork, electrical upgrades and any rebates also move the total. Only one company here publishes figures, so get written estimates from at least two.

Job	Typical price
Service call (advertised on Fuse Service’s site, credited to the repair)	$59
Heating system tune-up (advertised on Fuse Service’s site)	$29

Both figures are advertised on Fuse Service’s own website and may change. The other companies don’t publish prices in the reviews or site text we read, so ask each for a written estimate.
