    Cost savings
    Customers who have a contract with us will receive discounted parts & labour rates. Any service requirements outside of the terms of the contract are also discounted. 100% of the service agreement price is due at the time of ordering/entering the agreement. Parts used during visits and any extra hours on site will be invoiced in the usual way following a visit.

     

    Guarantee
    All parts fitted are guaranteed for 12 months.

     

    Limitations of guarantee
    Although the risk of system breakdown is greatly reduced when a preventive maintenance plan is in place - our service contracts do not offer guarantees against such breakdowns nor do they include additional service call-outs (not detailed in the service contract schedule) due to breakdowns within the term of the agreement. Our service agreements are designed to maintain the good working order of a system and reduce the risk of breakdowns accruing in the first instance. They are not intended to act as insurance against breakdown and their associated costs.
