What to tell Pros before they quote
- Home type and number of bedrooms
- Number and type of AC units
- Known recurring issues
- Systems you want covered
- Expected response time and landlord requirements
For annual maintenance contract, separate your must-have scope from optional extras before comparing quotes. This keeps the first estimate realistic, makes upgrades easier to price, and helps you spot when one quote is cheaper only because important work was left out.
Compare quotes fairly
A clear quote should include
- Covered services and exclusions
- Callout limits and response time
- Parts and labour rules
- Preventive visit schedule
Check carefully if
- Unlimited wording with broad exclusions
- Parts policy is unclear
- Emergency response not defined
- Preventive visits are promised but not scheduled
On Bestimate, compare what the contract will actually do on a bad day, not only the annual fee.
