FAQ
Patna HVAC technician pricing questions, answered
Common questions about hvac technician pricing in Patna, with answers framed for tradies pricing their own work.
Rs.290-Rs.540/hour for licensed work in standard Patna. Rs.480-Rs.880+/hour for premium (Boring Road 800001, Patliputra Colony 800013, Rajendra Nagar 800016, Kankarbagh 800020, SK Puri 800001). Per-system install: split AC Rs.32,000-Rs.95,000; VRV/VRF Rs.4,50,000-Rs.28,00,000; commercial chiller Rs.45,00,000+. State PMC trade licence, BIS-marked brand, and BEE 5-star rating on every quote. GST 18%.
Yes, both. PMC trade license required for HVAC contractors. F-Gas (HFC/HCFC/HFO refrigerant handling) certification required for AC install and service. State PMC trade licence number, GSTIN, HSN/SAC 998719, BIS-marked AC brand, and F-Gas certification on every quote and tax invoice.
Rs.32,000-Rs.95,000 per home for 1-2 ton split AC depending on tonnage (1, 1.5, 2 ton typical), BEE rating (3-5 star), and inverter vs fixed-speed. Quote separately: outdoor condenser, indoor unit, copper piping, drainage, electrical (dedicated MCB + ELCB), commissioning, F-Gas refrigerant charge. GST 18%.
Yes, on every premium install. Patna Gangetic inversion air pollution (Nov-Feb, among India's worst) drives demand for whole-home filtration (MERV 13+, HEPA) and AC-integrated air purifier (Dyson Pure, Philips AC, Mi Air Purifier, Sharp). Quote AC-integrated purifier (Rs.18,500-Rs.85,000 per unit) and whole-home HEPA filtration (Rs.85,000-Rs.4,50,000 per home).
Rs.4,50,000-Rs.28,00,000 per system for VRV/VRF multi-split with smart thermostats (Daikin VRV, Mitsubishi City Multi, LG Multi V). Premium brands preferred at Boring Road, Patliputra Colony, Rajendra Nagar, Kankarbagh, SK Puri. State BEE 5-star, BIS-marked, and IDU-ODU spec on every quote. GST 18%.
Hourly rates are ₹2,800 to ₹6,200 in the US, £55-130 in the UK, A₹3,800-220 in Australia, R350-950 in South Africa, and C₹2,800-180 in Canada. Metro areas typically command a 20-30% premium and refrigerant-certified technicians charge more than handymen offering aircon services.
A standard wall-split install is 4-6 hours for a 2-person team. A multi-head or ceiling-cassette install can take a full day. Ducted systems for a 3-bed home run 2-3 days including the electrical work.
For installs over ₹69,000, get 2-3 quotes. Compare brand, capacity, warranty, refrigerant type, and install detail. The cheapest quote often uses budget-brand units with 3-year warranties vs branded units with 5-7 year warranties for 10-20% more.
Heat-load calculation: roughly 0.15kW per square metre for moderate climates, 0.20kW for hot climates. A 25sqm bedroom needs 4-5kW; a 50sqm open-plan needs 7-9kW. Over-sized units cycle and fail; under-sized never reach setpoint. Insist on a heat-load calc.
Annually for residential use, twice yearly for high-use units or commercial. A ₹8,600 annual service catches refrigerant drift, dirty coils, and electrical issues before they become ₹51,500 repairs. Many manufacturer warranties require annual service to remain valid.
