Types of Maintenance Contracts
Preventive Maintenance
This type of contract will allow for regularly scheduled visits for diagnostic testing, servicing and replacement of parts (where needed). Regular maintenance will keep your HVAC equipment running at peak efficiency, lowering operating cost while increasing the life-expectancy of the equipment. Preventative Maintenance Agreements are the least-costly of service contracts.
Full Labour Contracts
This contract includes regular maintenance servicing of HVAC equipment and it also covers the cost of any labour required. Full Labour Agreements do not cover the cost of replacement parts.
Full Coverage Contracts
Although this is more expensive than the aforementioned contracts it does include regularly scheduled servicing, labour costs and includes the cost for any parts needed as well as emergency service when your HVAC equipment breaks down. A full labour contract will cost more if the HVAC equipment is old or in poor condition. This contract is the most expensive but it is full-service and will pay for itself when you need expensive repairs. It also allows for easy budgeting when accounting for HVAC maintenance/repairs.

We were firing up the A/C units for the summer, but something was not quite right. Called STAT because their sticker was on the units, and received a very warm welcome and a quick appointment date. Technician was right on time and knew what he was looking for and doing. Repaired some miswiring from a previous tech who had changed the thermostat for heat during the middle of the winter. Fired everything up and measured pressure, temperature on each air outlet, and overall air flow. Cleanup up the furnaces and filters while he was at it. Still had timeleft over on his basic time allotmentso he checked the outdoor condenser air flows and touched up the coils. System chugged away like a charm all summer.We will definitely call them back here next Spring. Well managed company with great staff! Thank You!
Scheduling an appointment was easy, accommodated our emergency request - HVAC wasnโt working and we were having an event.Mike, the technician, came within 30 minutes, did not wasted any time and directly went into the work. Diagnosed the problem and went ahead with resolving the issue. He is a knowledgeable person and could see his interest. Also taught us on how to do basic maintenance of the HVAC.Issued fixed in 2 hours.We are a happy customer!
So I own a condo, and it turns out that companies that can work on condo units are not all that common.Fortunately, Stat Climate rescued me when I was having trouble with my AC unit.Chris was super helpful, gave me some tips on keeping things in working order, and got everything sorted on time and for the price quoted.Will definitely be using them in the future and I can definitely recommend them for your service needs.Thank you!
I was debating between a 4* and 5* review. There was an initial issue with the appointment but I have to admit STAT pulled all stops when they realized their mistake and did right by the customer. I was especially impressed with the service tech (Delaine N.); the problem was intermittent and difficult to pin down. I do have a basic understanding of electrical wiring and Delaine went through his analysis with me and ensure I clearly knew what he was doing and why. He was finally able to pinpoint the problem after much back and forth analysis and testing and I now have a much better understanding of my HVAC system.5 stars - solid.
STAT Climate Control Solutions is our go to Contractor for HVAC related issues. They have been servicing our properties, ongoing for a couple of years. We will continue working with STAT for all related circumstances. They are responsive, honest and informative.
Called for an emergency furnace repair for one of my rental properties after hours and the technician was quick and honest. After reviewing my options I decided to go with a new high efficiency furnace. The installation team was friendly and did a fantastic job on the installation. The office and comfort advisor walked me through the whole process very professionally and even the owner called to follow up with me. I will definitely recommend Stat to all of my families and friends.
We were is a very tight situation...no heating on new years eve...thier number came up on my Google search and so I called them. They responded quickly and professionally. But more importantly the technician was very knowledgeable about our systems. Within minutes he identified the problem, proffered a solution to it and proceeded in fixing the problem asap. I would recommend them any day .....best value for money in terms of the services they rendered to us.
Not an easy AC install. Justin and Steve got it done. Will be stopping by later to check. Very satisfied.
Engaged company to install which was executed timely and they also discovered that my Furnace has been licking fluid. They also got my furnace fixed at the cheapest price I could get from many other competing companies.
Darren was great. He answered all my questions. Was friendly and professional.
Daniel was an exceptional technician. He was extremely industrious and was persistent to find a solution to the problem. I was very impressed with his workmanship. He came at a very late hour and delved into the problem and solved it. He deserves a very high accolade. Thank you Daniel for bringing warmth back to my home!
STAT Climate control has provided excellent service to my business and facilities for over 8 years. They are efficient, professional and highly skilled. They have earned our trust and are my number one recommendation for HVAC in Calgary.
Stat is an excellent company do business with, from their free quoting, explanations on installation practices and reasonable pricing; my air-conditioning was up and running in less than 2 weeks.I also have to mention their back end support with Sean made it an easy transaction and was really impressed with the install. These guys know what they're doing and would recommend them to anyone needing heating and cooling systems.
We bought a house in Cochrane, AB and we were looking for a good company to provide us with a good air conditioner.It was very easy to book an appointment with the owner. Sean went to inspect the house and gave us a very reasonable price. They were able to install the A/C the same week and we were very satisfied with the quality of the equipment, the installation and the customer service. I recommend this company.
Very pleased with Sean and his crew. Price, promptness, and reliability of service were all fantastic. After their first visit, other issues arose, unrelated to the first problem with my furnace. Long story short, Sean came by for an additional two hours tackling a difficult problem, and when he left we were back up and running. Best part was Sean's willingness to be more than reasonable with his pricing. The customer service was fantastic in all respects, and I would definitely recommend Stat Climate Control!
HVAC Maintenance Price Variables
There are a number of factors that can affect the price or quote for your HVAC maintenance contracts.
- Size of HVAC System - large HVAC systems have more components, parts, controls and electrical connections. Because larger systems require more time to inspect and maintain the cost will be higher than smaller HVAC systems.
- HVAC Equipment - businesses with less HVAC units and equipment will cost less to maintain than a building with multiple HVAC units.
- Type of HVAC Equipment - a conventional rooftop unit is self-contained and easier and faster to maintain than newer high-end variable refrigerant flow HVAC systems.
- Accessibility - easily accessible or self-contained HVAC equipment can lower your cost for servicing. HVAC service quotes include the additional time required to maintain equipment that is difficult to access.
- HVAC Maintenance Checklist - make sure you receive a list of all the maintenance work included in your quote. You want to make sure the company you choose is doing everything needed to maximize HVAC efficiency. Having a checklist will also allow you to accurately compare maintenance agreements between HVAC maintenance competitors. Sometimes the lowest price is not the bargain it may seem to be.
- Service Visits - generally speaking, a minimum of 3-4 service visits per year for commercial equipment that contain air filters.
Understanding Value vs Price
The cost for HVAC maintenance can vary depending on your HVAC system. As youโve learned there are mitigating factors that will increase or reduce the cost for servicing HVAC equipment.
Itโs vital to understand what youโre getting for the price youโre paying. When comparing HVAC Maintenance Agreement quotes hereโs a simple formula that can help understand what a company is offering.
Price of Contract รท Hourly Rate of Service = Hours of Service for Maintenance
Hours of Service for Maintenance รท Number of Yearly Visits รท Number of HVAC Units/Equipment = Time Spent on Each Unit/Equipment
If a contractor is quoting a very low bid compared to competitors it may be that the time spent maintaining your equipment is unrealistic or inadequate.
