A straightforward process

Understand the need before choosing the next step.

01

Describe the service need

Tell us what is happening, the property ZIP code, and whether this is a new request.

02

Check location and category

Coverage depends on service type, provider participation, ZIP code, hours, and capacity.

03

Connect when available

An independent provider may discuss the request, pricing, timing, credentials, and service terms directly.

HVAC guidance available first

When the house is not cooling, start with useful details.

A clear description can help distinguish a repair request from a replacement discussion and reduce avoidable back-and-forth.

  • Whether the system runs or stays off
  • When cooling changed or stopped
  • Property ZIP code and homeowner status
  • Repair, inspection, or replacement need

Submitting a request does not guarantee provider availability, an appointment, or a specific response time.

Frequently asked questions

Know who you are dealing with.

Home Service Compass provides information and referral connections. It does not perform contracting work.

Is Home Service Compass a contractor?

No. Home Service Compass is an independent referral and information service. Contractors and service providers are separate businesses responsible for their own estimates, scheduling, licenses, insurance, and work.

Does submitting a request guarantee an appointment?

No. Provider participation, service areas, schedules, and capacity vary. We can review the request and location, but an appointment or response time is never guaranteed.

How much does the service cost homeowners?

Home Service Compass does not charge homeowners to use this website or submit a request. An independent provider may quote and charge for its own services after discussing the job with you.

How should I evaluate a provider?

Before hiring anyone, verify the provider's identity, service area, licenses and insurance required in your jurisdiction, written scope, price, warranty terms, and cancellation policy.

Do you provide customer service for an existing contractor?

No. Billing, warranty, appointment changes, and customer service for existing work should be handled directly with the contractor or provider that performed the service.
