The normal fee at Home Depot for servicing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is about $150-$500, which covers maintenance and repairs. The total cost can vary greatly depending on a few factors that are unique to each situation. One is the type of service—for instance, a full system check versus maintenance—that's being performed. Another is the part of the system that the technician is working on; some parts are just naturally more complex and harder to access than others. Also, if it's discovered that some additional repairs are called for while a technician is in the middle of servicing a unit, that could add to the cost as well.

Usually, the priciest repair for an air conditioner is the replacement of the compressor. The compressor is one of the most vital components of an air conditioning system; its job is to push refrigerant throughout the unit. When it fails, the only real option is to replace it since an AC unit can't function at all when its compressor isn't working. If it is an older unit, perhaps far less efficient than modern models, it might make more sense to replace the whole thing. But if it's relatively new, calling a technician who specializes in the brand might be the best way to go.

Your HVAC bill might be high for a number of reasons. Here are several of them:1. **Insulation** - If you do not have sufficient insulation, or if your insulation is not efficient, your HVAC system is going to be working overtime just to maintain the temperature you want.2. **The Unit Itself** - If you have an old unit, or one that is not well maintained, even an old unit that is well maintained, any unit that is poorly maintained is going to work inefficiently, and it may not be operating at all at design conditions. And so you'll be incurring way more energy costs than necessary.3. **Dirty Filters** - Very, very common problem. If your system has very dirty filters, it reduces airflow right at the point where you need airflow the most.

Insurance for homes usually covers HVAC systems when the damage is caused by a peril that's covered under the policy. Typical perils include fire, lightning, or a fallen tree. Most homeowners insurance, on the other hand, does not cover the kinds of damage that result from wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or age. To understand your specific situation and what your homeowners policy in Arlington says or doesn't say about coverage for your HVAC system, a conversation with your insurance provider is probably in order.
