Owners search "AC AMC charges" to benchmark their price. A benchmark from another firm tells you little; your own costs tell you what to charge. Here is the method, with an illustrative example.
AC AMC charges: Work out the yearly fee per unit (illustrative, not a market rate)
- 3 scheduled services at ₹300 = ₹900
- 1 expected breakdown visit at ₹250 = ₹250
- Overhead share = ₹150
- Cost = ₹1,300; with a 30% margin the fee is about ₹1,860 per unit
For a comprehensive contract add expected parts cost per unit per year, plus a safety margin, and exclude big parts such as compressors. See how to calculate AMC charges.
Offer two tiers
Labour-only and comprehensive. Customers choose, and you stop under-pricing parts risk.
Price by unit type
- Window and split: the base rate.
- Inverter split: same visits, higher parts risk on comprehensive plans.
- Cassette and ductable: more time per service, ladder or access work.
- VRF systems: price per outdoor and indoor unit, often with a site survey first.
Seasonal timing
Sell AC AMCs before summer, when customers think about cooling, and schedule the first service before the rush. Renewals timed to February and March fill the calendar before May.
Make the price repeatable
Keep each AMC plan and price in one place. ServicePilot's AC template includes an AC AMC with three services, which you edit for your rates. Compare with the AC AMC agreement format.
