Services
Light-commercial heating and cooling, kept on one record
Rooftop packages, split systems and the ductwork between them, for buildings that a property manager runs for someone else.
Rooftop unit maintenance
The contract work: scheduled visits on every unit in the census, with a report for each.
Filters, belts, drains and coils
Electrical and controls check

Repairs
When a unit stops, the technician already has its model and its way up from the census.

What drives the cost
Six things that change a commercial price
No dollars here: bids are written per building. These are the lines that move the number, and the census collects each one.
Number of units
Contracts are priced per unit, so the count sets the base.
Tonnage
A 3-ton package and a 15-ton package take different parts and different hours.
Roof access
A fixed ladder is one thing; a roof that needs a lift is another.
Crane or lift
For replacements, booked and priced as its own line.
After-hours work
Work outside office hours is billed at the contract's after-hours rate.
Permit and inspection
Replacements need a permit; the fee is passed through as written.
Questions
Before you hire for rooftop work
Do the contracts cover repairs?
No. A contract pays for visits and the checks on the list. Parts, refrigerant and repair labor are quoted in writing before we start, and you approve them first. A contract is a service agreement, not insurance.
Who pulls the permit when a unit is replaced?
We do. Our Class A license lets us pull permits for air-conditioning work of any size. The proposal lists the permit, the crane or lift and the haul-away of the old unit as separate lines.
What happens after hours?
Our office hours are at the top of the page. On the Portfolio contract the after-hours line reaches the on-call technician, who works at the contract's after-hours rate. Without that contract, call in the morning and we book you as capacity allows.
