Makes Sense in So Many Ways
Dwyer uses flat-rate pricing per job rather than time and materials-based pricing. We have found our approach better serves our customers and promotes quality craftsmanship. With flat-rate pricing, you know what you’re paying right off the bat. You don’t have to worry about technicians taking their time on the job to pad their paycheck. With Dwyer you get upfront, honest transactions that leave you with the highest quality work at the best rate.
Our Service/Diagnostic Fee Serves You
Even if you think you know what’s wrong (and it may appear obvious), we want to make sure there aren’t any other hidden issues, or underlying problems that go undetected. That’s why we have the service/diagnostic fee: $69.95 for plumbing and $89.95 for heating and cooling. While homeowners may feel confident in their self-diagnosis after spending a few hours reading on the internet, Dwyer prefers that the correct diagnosis is made by our professionally certified technicians, so we can provide you with the best solution.
Other companies lump the costs of sending a technician to your home, making the diagnosis, etc., into their total on your final bill, but we keep the service fee amount separate to help make sure our customers are better informed about the costs of each specific repair. Looking at our invoices, you can always be exactly sure what each task costs you.
We Put Our Proposals in Writing
After our experienced technician diagnoses the best course of action to remedy the problem, they will give you a written proposal for the repairs with the costs. By initialing beside the price, you then accept or decline all or specific recommendations before they begin their work. Our friendly, knowledgeable technicians will gladly explain the details of why the problem occurred, how it can be avoided and what can be done to provide a solution. We like to use our hard-earned expertise. Don’t be afraid to ask questions!
All of us at Dwyer want to make sure you’re always comfortable with our suggestions, which is why our technicians are not paid on commission. We provide honest, quality work for a reasonable price. We’re after long-term relationships with our customers and hope our family business can continue to proudly serve generations of northern Virginians to come.
Need an Estimate on Large Projects?
Dwyer provides free in-home estimates on certain replacement equipment, such as HVAC systems, but not on problems that require our technician to confirm the diagnosis. We also perform free estimates for large scope work, such as sewer replacements.
