Common questions
Can a built-in Sub-Zero be repaired without removing the joinery in Chartwell?
In most cases yes. The units are designed to be serviced from the front through the grille and toe panel; full de-racking is only needed for sealed system work.
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.
What does an annual service contract include?
Scheduled visits, priority response between visits, a written condition report per unit and fixed labour rates for the contract year.
Is a compressor replacement guaranteed?
Yes. Replacements are done with a system flush and new drier, and both part and workmanship are warranted, provided the original cause of failure is corrected.
