What is the typical fee?
The national range is 50–420 zł. The fee usually covers travel and diagnosis; many companies credit it against the repair if you proceed — always ask before booking. Poland's standard 23% VAT applies to heating and air-conditioning service and to parts. Repair and maintenance work carried out inside a home covered by the social housing programme (flats up to 150 m², houses up to 300 m²) is charged at the reduced 8% rate under Article 41(12)(1) of the VAT Act — and on that route the price of the part being fitted does not change the rate. The condition that the net value of goods must not exceed 50% of the taxable base attaches only to Article 41(12)(2), the residual route for premises outside that programme. On top of that, many small trades use the VAT subjective exemption (Article 113 of the VAT Act, a PLN 240,000 annual turnover limit from 2026) and charge no VAT at all — so treat 23% as a ceiling, not a guaranteed add-on.
