Starting 09/27/10, our expanded regular service hours are 8am to 7pm Mon-Fri. If you call after hours, rest assured that we always have service technicians available, day and night, weekends and holidays. Our overtime charge is just an extra $40 Mon-Sat and $80 on Sundays & Holidays, and the repairs are still billed at regular rates. (Our diagnostic fee still applies) No one likes paying more than they should, so we did our research here. Some companies offer after-hours service for no extra charge, but their regular rates are higher than our overtime rates. They actually charge overtime rates during regular hours! We use fair overtime pricing that simply reflects the extra costs of compensating a technician for working late on a cold night or holiday. Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.) 1.

What's included in the ESA contract? Regular maintenance and service on mechanical equipment prolongs its life and helps keep it running at peak efficiency.  While inspections do not guarantee that your system will operate trouble-free, potential problems can be spotted before they result in a breakdown. Our ESA consists of two thorough seasonal inspections of the heating and air conditioning system using the "Certificate of Inspection,"checking the electrical components of the system and performing carbon monoxide testing (on gas or oil furnaces).  Our ESA customers receive priority dispatching for 24-hour emergency service and a 15% discount on any repairs that might be needed throughout the year. 

Any service with Trademasters Service comes with our Satisfaction Guarantee. 13. My condominium unit owners' association requires proof that I had maintenance. Can you give me that? We can perform a thorough inspection that will satisfy the requirements of your condominium unit owners' association, such as the Gates of McLean or Cardinal Forest.  We can use our "Certificate of Inspection� checklist or we can use one provided by your condominium.  A single inspection is $98; however, we offer specials in some neighborhoods, so call to see if your neighborhood qualifies for a discount. 14. If my system breaks down, should I repair it or replace it? Deciding to replace a major component on an older system can be a gamble because there is no guarantee that something else won't break next week. The risk is even greater when you're facing a costly repair to system that is over eight years old, one that is in poor condition, or one that has not had regular maintenance service. 

Be sure to consider factors such as the age of the system, how long you plan to stay in the home, your current level of comfort, and the potential savings in energy costs.  If you determine that your appliance is near or at the end of its useful life, you may decide to invest the repair cost towards a new system. For newer systems that have received regular maintenance, repair might be the better choice.  Work with one of our technicians or comfort and installation consultants, and he will be happy to give you the technical information you need to help you make a well-informed decision.  Call 703-644-6400 or email our comfort and installation department for more information or to schedule an appointment. 15. How often do I change the filter? Keeping your filters clean is one of the most important and inexpensive ways homeowners can both increase the performance and help prolong the life of their comfort systems.  Dirty air filters can reduce the amount of airflow through your system, making your system work harder.
