Free Refrigeration Technician
Service Agreement
One blown compressor or a massive refrigerant leak can wipe out a year's profit in a single afternoon. Without a rock-solid contract, you're one 'spoiled inventory' claim away from the breadline.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to ensure you aren't paying for ten grand in melted ice cream because a twenty-year-old fan motor finally quit.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Refrigeration Technician, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The owner keeps asking me to 'check one more thing' while Iām on the roof; how do I stop working for free?
Define the specific unit by serial number in your contract so any extra favors trigger a Change Order that gets billed at your full hourly rate.
What do I do if I buy an expensive evaporator coil and the client ghosts the invoice?
Require a Materials Deposit upfront in your terms; this covers your out-of-pocket costs so you aren't financing the customer's repair on your own credit line.
How do I handle a customer blaming me for a different leak that popped up after I left?
Your contract should specify a Limited Work Area clause, proving you only touched the components listed and aren't responsible for the rest of their crumbling hardware.
