I had an AC/heater break on New Year's Eve a few years ago. The tech came out at 11:00 pm and left at 2:00 am. There were no charges for overtime or holiday rates -- it was a flat fee to come out (I believe around $85) and regular hourly rate. I asked the Sunkool tech why no extra fees for labor and was told that if a contractor wants to work in TV, they have to agree to charge the same rate at all times. I don't know if this is true but do know that I haven't seen weekend, evening, holiday or overtime rates ever being charged here for any repair work.
