Common questions
How long should a KIC fridge last in Riviera?
With a clean condenser and a sound door seal, twelve to fifteen years is normal. Most callouts we attend are thermostats, start relays and perished seals rather than sealed system failures.
Do you charge a callout fee?
A standard callout and diagnostic fee applies and is quoted upfront. It is credited against the repair when you accept the quote.
How fast can you get to me?
Emergency callouts are dispatched to the next available technician, with the arrival window confirmed by SMS when the vehicle leaves.
Do you top up gas without finding the leak?
No. A weighed charge into a leaking system is money out the window, so the leak is found and repaired first, then the system is evacuated and charged to the plated weight.
