Aircon servicing packages

[macaroonie]

Hi
Does anyone have experience with buying aircon servicing packages for the entire year and paying them in cash? What guarantees them coming back quarterly to do the servicing if they have all our money right from the beginning?

They will have a contract and will issue you a receipt for the term. If this is not good enough for you, then you can also opt for ad hoc servicing. This will cost slightly more per visit though.

Just engage a recommended contractor. I've had no problems with my contractor disappearing or running away at all. In fact, he actually reminds me when the quarter is up to arrange for an appointment.

I have a yearly package but I only pay a quarter of the total amount each time they come and do the servicing.

If you stick with the reputable servicing contractors then should not be a problem, as to paying cash I think paying my a crossed cheque would be a little safer, as it stops the guy you are handing the cash over doing a runner.

So far we have always paid up front and had no problems.
