MAINTENANCE & REPAIR SERVICE AGREEMENT
v What is a HVAC/R Maintenance & Repair Service Agreement (MRSA)?
Ø An HVAC/R Maintenance & Repair Service Agreement is a fixed price contract between the customer and Precise Mechanical Services to maintain and repair some and/or all mechanical components at a customer’s place of business.
Ø Maintenance and Repair Service Agreements may encompass all heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R) equipment, along with other mechanical components, including, but not limited to compressors, pumps, valves, exhaust fans, paint booths, pneumatic equipment and more.
v What Levels Do We Offer?
Ø We offer (3) standard levels of service, along with custom offers if the customer so desires. The (3) standard levels include; Preventative Maintenance, Full Maintenance and Full Repair.
v Define the Differences Between the (3) Levels?
Ø Preventative Maintenance – Usually performed once every 3-months. Test start unit, calibrate thermostat, check refrigerant level, and add if necessary. Inspect and test v-belt tension, check AMP motor pressure, inspect condenser coil for hail damage, tighten loose electrical connections, inspect or clean contactors, clean condensate drains, change filters, lubricate moving parts/bearings and any other minor maintenance as see fit.
Ø Full Maintenance – In addition to Preventative Maintenance, Full Maintenance includes wash/blow-out condenser coil, clean evaporator coil, apply protective coating to scratches, measure temperature rise, check duct static pressure, check motor and compressor volts/amps, clean and balance blower wheel, clean and optimize burners, test/adjust safety controls, perform flue inspection, perform combustion heat inspection, monitor flue draft, clean ignition assembly and monitor gas pressure, plus many other full maintenance items not defined here
Ø Complete Repair - Beyond Full Maintenance, Full Maintenance/Repair includes repairing the main systems mechanical equipment such as but not limited to air conditioners, boilers, heaters, AHU’s, condensers, pumps and motors and fixing worn major components such as coils, heat exchangers, valves, flowmeters, pulleys, transducers, fans, compressors, regulators, switches, pneumatic, accumulators and other pertinent components prior to and/or after catastrophic failure. This service includes all labor, parts, service call charges and repairs.
v What Do We Service? / What Brands Do We Service?
Ø We service all brands of HVAC/R Equipment, including Trane, Carrier, Rheem, McQuay, York, Mitsubishi and all others.
Ø We work-on liquid & air pump systems, HVAC/R equipment, air/gas compression systems, plumbing systems and more.
IMPORTANT FACTS & STATISTICS REGARDING MRSA’s!
v SERVICE AGREEMENTS PAY FOR THEMSELVES!
Ø Save Money on Maintenance
Ø Extend Equipment Life
Ø Prevent Untimely, Unnecessary Breakdowns
Ø Cut Utilities
Ø Restore Efficiency
Ø Restore Lost Capacity
Ø Save X% on All Repairs
Ø Get Priority Service
Ø Improve Comfort
Ø Insure Safety
Ø Maintain Consistent Indoor Air Quality
v RECENT STATISTICS and/or STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
Ø According to Louisiana Cooperative Extension, Maintenance Agreements save a customer $10.165/ton/month.
· A typical residential customer with a 3-1/2-ton Unit, Savings = $426/year
· For a light-commercial customer with 20-tons, Savings = $2439/year
· An industrial manufacturer with 100-ton units, Savings = $12,198/year
Ø Texas A&M University found a 23% refrigerant undercharge, can result in a 52% efficiency loss
Ø North Carolina Alternative Energy Corporation a non-profit organization examining air-conditioner manufacturer performance concluded
· 90% of units' tested exhibited some sort of energy-wasting problem.
· 50% had improper refrigerant.
· 40% failed to meet minimum airflow criterion.
· 20% deficiency in airflow reduces the SEER rating by 17%
· 15% return-air leak from a 120-degree attic, could reduce a SEER 12 to a SEER 6
Ø Home Energy Magazine found 3-main Areas of Concern
· Duct Leakage results in a 19.5% performance
· Refrigerant – 62% were overcharges and 23% were undercharged
· Sizing – 88% were oversized and 2% were undersized
Ø Pacific Gas & Electric found the average energy heating savings for
· Repair of disconnected ducts was 15%
· Repair of diffuser leakage 7.5%
· Correcting airflow 5.6%
· Repairing leaks and correcting refrigerant charge 18.4%
In summary: Maintenance and Repair Agreements Service Agreements pay for themselves by saving valuable energy, costly downtime, untimely catastrophic failures and extended equipment life. They are necessary hedge against growing inflationary costs. We highly recommend them.
