Free Water Heater Installer
Service Agreement
One flooded basement or a dry-fired heating element will wipe out your month's profit and land your tail in small claims court. Without a signed paper, you're just a guy with a pipe wrench waiting to get stiffed by a 'forgetful' homeowner.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Limit of Liability' clause to ensure a minor leak doesn't cost you more than the total price of the install.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Water Heater Installer, "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 when the homeowner asks me to 'just look' at a leaky sink while the heater drains?
Tell them if it ain't in the contract, it ain't in your schedule. Use a 'Scope of Work' clause to define exactly what you're touching; anything else requires a signed Change Order and a fresh fee.
How do I handle a customer who claims I damaged their floor three days after I left?
Stop the finger-pointing by including a 'Pre-Existing Conditions' walk-through in your agreement. Take photos before you start and have them sign a 'Final Acceptance' form before you pack the truck.
What happens if I show up and the workspace is buried under a mountain of junk?
Time is money. Put a 'Worksite Readiness' clause in your contract that charges a 'Dry Run' fee if you can't get to the pipes, forcing the client to respect your clock or pay for the delay.
