It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with this Agreement prior to allowing our technician to begin work. Allowing our technician to commence service constitutes acceptance of this Agreement in its entirety.
Estimates remain valid for 5 days. Any payment by the customer (be it deposit, parts and/or labor, etc.) constitutes acceptance of the estimate and agreement to all of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions. When the estimate is accepted, your credit card will be stored on file and will be used for the remaining balance as soon as the repair is completed. When repair is completed, you may pay with a different credit card or use alternative payment options.
All appointments are set, based on the earliest availability, between 9 am-and 5 pm. An after-hours appointment might be available. We will assign 4 hours window a day before the service and request your confirmation by email and/or text and/or phone call. If you fail to confirm the appointment, we cannot guarantee the service. Part installation appointments will not be scheduled until part(s) have arrived.
A customer can request a service call to the job by a qualified technician. It will be billed from the time technician leaves the office to travel to the job and the time required to analyze the problem (not including the repair). A service call fee will also be charged in cases where a customer does not wish to proceed with the job for whatever reason (e.g., it costs more to repair the unit than itâs worth). It will be waived if the customer decides to accept our quote, pay a deposit and have us perform the job. A service call fee is non-refundable. The customer will be responsible for the service call fee if the problem is caused, or possibly caused by a source other than the appliance itself: installations issues, plumbing issues, electrical issues, venting duct clogged, or any other issue not related to the appliance.
The customer shall provide suitable parking. Our technician will cancel the service if parking is not available on streets with Restricted Permit Parking only. In this situation, trip charges may be billed to the customer.
The repair cost is based on the job, not on the time the repair takes to perform.
We need be given at least 12 business hoursâ notice from the beginning of the appointment if you want to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
For example, if your appointment is between 12pm-4pm, we must be notified before 9am the day before. If you are calling after hours, please DO NOT LEAVE A VOICEMAIL.
A service call can be cancelled only with a live agent and a cancellation code will be provided to you over the phone. Failure to comply with our cancellation policy will result in a reduced service call of $129.99CAD + tax.
Payment must be made within 24 hours of the original appointment. A cancellation fee will be billed to customers who cancel late, cannot be reached, or are not at home at the scheduled service time. Call as soon as possible if you cannot keep an appointment.
The repair is considered completed if the customer paid for it in full and/or signed the acceptance form or an invoice. Payment of services in full will also indicate the customer has reviewed and tested the appliance and the service is completed to their satisfaction. We offer no refunds on completed or ongoing repairs. Repair also considered completed after technician finishes a job and have checked for appropriate finish. Including but not limited to obtaining proof of work, such as keeping swapped parts, and/or photos and/or videos of completed work.
