3.1 If the Services are to be carried out on your premises or at your request at some other site we will need free and safe access to the customer’s Equipment, together with proper and safe storage and protection of all goods, tools, plant, equipment and materials we have on site. We may also require additional facilities to carry out the Services such as electricity. You will observe and comply with the latest Health and Safety at Work Legislation and ensure that the site is safe and without risk to the health and safety of all persons working there; and you will hold us harmless against all legal and regulatory proceedings, costs and charges in respect of your failure to do so.

3.6 If a quote is for fault finding and a fault is not found and the air conditioner or electrical circuit is operating correctly, the customer is still liable for all quote charges.

3.7 Drain pumps do emit a slight noise when the float is triggered. This operates for a few seconds each time. The noise is minimal and we use the quietest pumps on the market.

3.8 Replacing circuit breakers and fuses to RCD safety switches may result in earth faults within circuits. This is not included in this quote to rectify the work. If additional work is required a detailed report will be given of any findings. These faults are usually a sign of incorrect or damaged wiring prior to safety switches being installed.

3.9 Replacing main PC boards may indicate another fault in the system. However, this rarely occurs. This cannot be diagnosed until the main board has supplied power to the rest of the system. This may incur additional charges for additional parts. Spare parts, including PC boards have a strict no return policy. If the spare part or PC board has not rectified the issue, you will be advised of the best solution and/or costs for additional parts. The customer will still be liable for the full costs of the original spare parts or PC boards as per quote.

3.15 Condensation drains for indoor units will be run in conduit. If the customer wants the drain to be plumbed into a down pipe, this needs to be discussed prior to work commencing. Outdoor unit drains do not produce condensation water on cooling, only heating. If the outdoor unit drain is to be included, additional charges will apply.

3.16 If asbestos is found onsite and is required to be cut for our work to go ahead, the customer is responsible for the costs of an asbestos contractor.

MacDonald Air and Electrical have recently installed a split system air conditioning unit at my property. They were very helpful explaining what was needed and provided a very competitive quote. They arrived at the agreed time and cleaned up any mess from their work before they left. I was very happy with their service.
