Maintenance agreements

Preventive Maintenance Agreements

Scheduled maintenance catches worn belts, dirty coils and small refrigerant leaks before they turn into a classroom without cooling or a walk-in full of spoiled food. We can cover a single building or every site in a district or agency portfolio under one agreement.

Each agreement is priced as a custom contract for your equipment and buildings. Learn more about our preventive maintenance agreements.

Standard maintenance items

  • Filter change
  • Coil cleaning
  • Belt inspection and replacement
  • Electrical check
  • Refrigerant leak check

24/7 Emergency Service

We answer 24/7 and offer 2-hour emergency response. For a failed rooftop unit, a building without heat or a cafeteria walk-in that is losing temperature, we aim to have a technician on-site within 2 hours for emergency calls. After-hours and emergency calls are billed at overtime rates. See our emergency commercial service page for more.

Response times can vary with location, weather and call volume.

Scheduling Around Your Calendar

Schools have class schedules and testing weeks; public buildings have hours when residents are at the counter. We can schedule major work for after hours, weekends or school breaks so equipment replacements and larger repairs do not get in the way.

Tell us about your calendar when we plan the work and we will work with you on timing. After-hours work is billed at overtime rates.

Documentation

Quotes and Service Records

Public organizations need a paper trail. We provide written quotes before work begins and service records for each visit, so your facilities and purchasing staff can see what was found and what was done on each unit.

"Tech that came out was quick and very knowledgeable in fixing our commercial freezer. Had another company that came out before them that thought they fixed and did not. I will use this company moving forward and you should too. They came all the way to Ontario oregon, and was quick in response."
