What is the typical fee?
The national range is €60–€132. The fee usually covers travel and diagnosis; many companies credit it against the repair if you proceed — always ask before booking. VAT (20%) may or may not be included: many small heating and HVAC firms and sole traders fall under Austria's small-business scheme (Kleinunternehmerregelung, § 6 (1) 27 UStG 1994 — since 1 January 2025, up to €55,000 gross annual turnover) and charge no VAT — so treat 20% as a ceiling, not a guaranteed add-on.
