Common questions
Can a built-in Sub-Zero be repaired without removing the joinery in Paulshof?
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.
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.
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.
