Free Solar Water Heating Tech
Service Agreement
One pinhole leak in a pressurized solar loop can drown a client's living room and drain your bank account before the sun sets. Without a solid contract, you're just a guy volunteering to pay for someone else’s new drywall and hardwood floors.
Pro Contractor Tip
Mandate a 'Change Order' clause that requires a signed document for any extra plumbing or roof work encountered so you aren't eating the cost of unforeseen rot or pipe failures.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Solar Water Heating Tech, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if the homeowner asks me to 'take a look' at their existing leaky water heater while I'm there?
You don't touch a single pipe until you've added it to the written scope of work. Use your contract to define 'Exclusions' clearly; if it's not on the list, it's an extra charge that needs a signature before you pick up a wrench.
The equipment showed up damaged from the supplier, but the client wants the job done today. How do I handle the delay?
Reference your 'Force Majeure' or 'Material Availability' clause which protects your schedule. A written agreement ensures the client knows you aren't liable for shipping nightmares, and you won't be penalized for delays out of your control.
I'm worried about getting stiffed for the expensive glycol and collectors after I've already installed them.
Stop working for free and use a 'Progress Payment' schedule in your contract. Require 50% upfront for materials and a chunk after the 'Rough-in' so if they ghost you at the end, you've already covered your overhead and then some.
