Old Town to Troon, end to end, with no trip fee anywhere in it. Published flat prices, agreed before anything gets touched.
Scottsdale runs the better part of thirty miles north to south, and the housing stock changes completely along the way. South of Camelback you are mostly looking at 1950s and 1960s ranch houses, many with package units on the roof. The ranch communities in the middle sit on equipment that has usually turned over once. North of the 101 it is largely two-story builds from the 1990s onward, running two systems apiece.
It is all one service zone here, with no trip fee anywhere in it. What changes from one end to the other is what is likely to be wrong, not what it costs to find out: the flat prices are the same in Old Town as they are in Troon.
The postwar ranch houses below Camelback run a lot of package equipment on low-slope roofs. It is straightforward work and it is a different price from a ground unit, which is on the list rather than on the invoice.
McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch sit on equipment that has usually been replaced at least once. The question on those calls is almost always whether a cheap part buys another season, and that is answerable with pressures and amp draws rather than opinion.
North Scottsdale production homes commonly run two systems with the upstairs unit carrying the load. A second system on the same visit is priced lower, and the upstairs one is usually the one worth watching.
No trip fee, dispatch fee, or fuel surcharge in Scottsdale. Where the unit sits is already in the price. Full list.

No. Commercial rooftop equipment is off the list, along with installs, replacements, ductwork, and anything needing a permit.
