Choosing Your Service Agreements
There are three basic agreements commonly used in the
residential market. They are:
-
A Basic Tune-up Agreement
-
A Maintenance and Labor Agreement
-
The Complete Care EXTENDED Protection plan (i.e. Full
Maintenance, Labor, Parts and Emergency Service)
We find that it takes more than one type agreement to
satisfy our customers. We offer each of the Plans outlined above. Each plan
is briefly described below.
Basic Tune-up Agreement (i.e. An Annual Preventive
Maintenance Service Call)
This is your basic level service agreement. It offers
customers benefits at the lowest possible cost.
-
We agree to clean, adjust and inspect the equipment on a
scheduled basis for a fixed fee.
-
We charge normal rates for any repair materials (less any
customer discount) and for any labor required for repairs and emergency
calls.
A slight modification of this agreement allows a discount
for service performed at the time of a regular call.
Highlights of a basic tune-up agreement:
-
One annual fee covers the labor and material required for
basic maintenance only. You pay for any repair materials (less any parts
discount) and for labor required for repairs and emergency calls.
-
It allows us to establish a customer relationship at
competitive prices.
-
It provides at least a minimal level of protection to you.
Maintenance and Labor Agreement
(i.e. An Preventive Maintenance, Labor and Emergency
Service)
This is the middle-level service agreement. We provide
maintenance service as in the basic agreement.
However, our service technicians bill only for repair parts,
not for labor or maintenance materials. If you need emergency service, you
are assured that we'll be there.
Highlights of a maintenance and labor agreement:
-
One annual fee covers the cost of all labor for
inspection, maintenance and breakdown repair. All listed maintenance parts
and materials are paid for, such as filters, and grease. The customer pays
for repair parts, less any customer discount.
-
This program is our "standard" service agreement. This is
the best agreement for both you and for us. Your receive better protection
and less chance of an unexpected cost than with a basic tune-up agreement.
-
We charge for emergency service after regular service
hours at a rate that minimizes your cost of overtime. (Optional)
-
It allows you to provide emergency service at no extra
cost if you choose to do so for customers with good service histories.
This can become a competitive selling point.
-
You are protected from the cost of serious problems by
receiving the best preventive maintenance service possible.
The Complete Care EXTENDED Protection plan
(i.e. The Full Maintenance, Labor, Parts and Emergency
Service)
Our company has two agreements of this type.
One is for Lennox products covered under the Complete Care
program.
The other is for products not covered under Complete Care
(either Lennox or non-Lennox).
The Complete Care program has a backup reimbursement plan
(guarantee) for an up front cost.
The Planned Service Parts and Labor Agreement is funded by
the dealer alone.
A full maintenance agreement is the best service agreement
you can receive. This agreement is best suited for top quality customers,
with a considerable investment in their installations.
This program provides the greatest security, because it has
no unexpected or "surprise" costs. A Complete Care Extended Protection Plan
offers you complete peace of mind.
Highlights of the Complete Care Extended Protection Plan:
-
One fee covers all expenses, including labor, parts and
emergency service.
-
Covers all labor charges without charging you for any
overtime for after-hours emergency service.
-
By using the Complete Care Extended Protection Plan,
reimbursement of parts and labor cost is insured by Lennox.
