What do you need help understanding?

Start with a symptom

Search what you observe—not what you think the failed part is. Several HVAC faults can produce the same symptom, and an on-site diagnosis is often needed before choosing a repair.

Building area alone cannot establish a maintenance quote. Heco needs the equipment inventory, types/capacities, access, operating needs, filters, maintenance history and desired scope. A walkthrough supports a written quarterly-maintenance proposal; do not multiply a residential price by building size.

A proposed commercial maintenance scope may include equipment-condition review, filters and airflow, coils and drainage, electrical/controls observations, operating checks and service documentation, as applicable to the equipment and safe access. Exact tasks, frequency, exclusions and follow-up repairs belong in the written agreement rather than being assumed included.

The interval depends on equipment manufacturer guidance, use, environment, occupancy, filter loading and condition. Quarterly visits may be appropriate for some properties, with certain checks needed more often. Heco should establish the scope and schedule after reviewing the equipment; quarterly alone does not prove compliance with a standard.

No. Filter supply, sizes, replacement quantities, repair parts, refrigerant, extra labor and emergency visits are included only when the written agreement says so. Ask Heco for a clear included/excluded scope and the approval process for additional work.

Yes. Heco can discuss a written commercial preventive-maintenance or service proposal after reviewing the property and equipment. It should identify equipment, tasks, visit frequency, inclusions, exclusions, price and terms. This chat does not create or accept a binding agreement.

Yes. Heco can evaluate compatible rooftop units and plan repair versus replacement, capacity/design needs, access/lifting, electrical and controls work, permits and scheduling. Compatibility and the final written scope need a site assessment before a quote or installation commitment.

No. A quarterly visit schedule alone cannot establish Standard 180 compliance. Equipment inventory, applicable tasks, task frequencies, execution and documentation must be evaluated against the applicable standard and requirements. Heco should define a project-specific scope without making unsupported compliance promises.

No. Heco does not service chillers or chilled-water chiller plants. We do not offer chiller repair, maintenance, installation or replacement. Please contact a contractor that specifically services those systems; a general HVAC license description does not change Heco's actual service scope.

This test chat cannot book or submit a commercial walkthrough. Use Request Service or call (916) 813-2766 to ask for one. Heco must confirm the property, equipment, access and an available appointment; a request is not a confirmed booking.

Prepare equipment counts, brands/models and capacities if available; roof/mechanical-room access, operating hours, current issues, maintenance history, existing agreement and desired service scope. Share documents and contact/address details through Heco's service process rather than this test chat. Heco can arrange a walkthrough after confirming availability.
