(b) Qualifying Equipment

(c) Repairs Recommended during a Precision Tune-Up

Any repairs recommended by Walker ClimateCare during a Precision Tune-Up must be completed at that time. The cost of these repairs will be quoted to and authorized by the customer prior to any of these repairs being initiated. In the case of a Precision Tune-Up or a WeCare Maintenance, the customer is responsible for the cost of the repairs. WeCare Protection Plus plans cover the cost of the repairs, subject to the terms of the agreement. If a customer is unwilling or unable to authorize the recommended repairs, any equipment failures that occur as a result of the repairs not being done will not be covered by the benefits of the agreement.

(d) Precision Tune-Up

A Precision Tune-Up is on a single piece of equipment and includes a systematic and thorough inspection of the equipment. to determine that it is working safely, reliably, and to manufacturer’s specifications. Payment is due at the time of inspection. The only benefit included with the Precision Tune-Up is a 30 day diagnostic warranty i.e. If the piece of equipment should fail within the 30-day period following the Precision Tune-Up Walker ClimateCare will return and diagnose the problem at no charge. All repairs required will be quoted and charged at regular or after-hours rates as applicable.

(e) WeCare Maintenance Agreement

This agreement includes an annual Precision Tune-Up for each piece of equipment on the plan. Each piece of equipment is covered by a 90-day diagnostic warranty starting from the date on which the Precision Tune-up is completed. All equipment covered by the agreement receives these additional benefits: priority scheduling, no after hours premiums, and a reduced diagnostic fee outside the initial 90-day diagnostic warranty, a 20% discount off the regular daytime rate for any required repairs regardless of when the repairs are required, and a 5% discount off our regular price for any piece of equipment on this plan that they chose to replace.

(f) WeCare Protection Plus Agreement

This Agreement includes a Precision Tune-Up for each piece of equipment covered under this plan. Diagnostic fees are waived, and the equipment is covered by a parts and labour warranty plan as described. This plan is designed to protect the customer from unexpected costs associated with breakdowns caused by normal wear and use. As such, external power interruptions, plugged vents or drains, damage/failure caused by external forces, flood, fire, vandalism, wilful acts, and repairs by other than Walker ClimateCare technicians are not covered. Cabinets, casings, covers and paint are excluded. It does not include consumable supplies such as filters and water panels, not issues caused by plugged filters and/or lack of air flow. Specifically, the assurance portion of the plan covers all the components supplied by the original equipment manufacturer except for parts and labour for compressors or refrigerant leaks on equipment or parts and labour to replace heat exchangers. In all cases, Walker ClimateCare will recognize terms and conditions of any existing manufacturer’s warranties. Should the covered equipment be replaced by Walker ClimateCare, it is eligible for a 5% discount.

(g) WeCare Protection Agreement

This agreement is limited to the benefits of the assurance portion of the above plan except that there is a maximum annual cap of $800.00 for diagnostic and repair charges combined. This annual cap is calculated by totalling the amount that we would have charged if there was no coverage i.e., if there is an after-hours call then we will add our after-hours diagnostic fee to the after-hours repair cost and apply that total towards the annual cap. If the total is less than the annual cap, we will hold the balance in reserve to apply against a future repair. If the total exceeds the cap, the customer will be required to pay the difference. The annual cap resets upon renewal. This plan has a cooling-off period of 15 calendar days from the time the plan is activated until coverage applies. This 15-day cooling-off period can be waived by one of our technicians if the equipment is deemed to be in proper working order i.e., they have just completed a diagnostic/repair call.

(h) Future Changes to the Terms and Conditions

Walker ClimateCare may make changes to plan pricing and the above terms and conditions. Changes will not apply until the time of renewal.

(i) Limits of Liability

Walker ClimateCare accepts no liability for consequential damage caused by misdiagnosis or delays in completing diagnosis or repairs and cannot guarantee part availability or production based on type and age of equipment at any given time. If we are unable to repair equipment covered by a plan (such as but not limited to, lack of availability of parts) then our sole obligation is to terminate the plan and return any unused funds for the current agreement period. Liability ceases and is agreed to by all parties upon termination.
