CHANGES IN OUR BUSINESS PRACTICES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR COVID-19
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY while we navigate the COVID-19 structure:
Concerning Our Technicians: Out of an abundance of caution, our technicians have been outfitted with approved respirators or masks, disposable gloves or washable gloves, and will be practicing the following when applicable: disinfecting tools in between jobs, disinfecting thermostats when necessary before and after performing assessment or repair, and wearing disposable booties over their shoes. Additionally, they have been trained in the best practices to mitigate the possibility of exposure for themselves as well as the customers they serve. we kindly ask, you, the customer, to remain at least 6 feet away from our technician at all times. please, refrain from handshakes, high fives, or “hovering” over the technician while they are performing their job. We ask more firmly, but as standard rules to refrain from trying to climb the technicians ladder for your safety and theirs.
Concerning Your Appointment: At the time of scheduling your service appointment, as well as when our technician arrives at your door, you will be asked basic questions about any possible health concerns in your home. These questions are for the sole purpose of safety for all parties and will be kept confidential in accordance with HIPAA regulations. Your answers will not be recorded in any system or passed along to any third-parties, including our home warranty partners. we ask you answer truthfully to protect our customers we serve after your appointment which can include elderly, newborns, immune compromised, etc. Should you share that you think you may have been exposed or are currently sick, precision aire will take precautions by trying to resolve your issue with outside service only, or scheduling your appointment as a standalone on another day, or rescheduling your appointment after the quarantine period of 14 days has ended.
Important Service Practice: We are refraining from entering homes unless it is necessary for diagnostic and at our technicians personal discretion. Most of the work we do can be completed outside the home. Should our technician need to enter the home for further diagnostics, we kindly ask, for our protection, the next customer’s protection, and yours, to respectfully practice the social distancing (at least 6 ft away) rule. As we do provide services to the immune compromised and elderly, we must respect protecting them during this time. If it may be required to enter your home for the thermostat, we may try alternative diagnostic methods such as video call with you, or ask that you remain distanced from our technician while they assess the thermostat. We reserve the right to refuse to enter in any home to consider the safety of our staff during the pandemic, and in some cases may need to refer you to another company for further service.
Advisory: Any homeowner that negligently and willingly does not disclose a warning to our staff of a positive covid-19 case in the home before or during our service visit that results in illness or death of our staff member, or other homeowners, will be held responsible by precision aire, in a court of law to the fullest extent allowed for any damages incurred by Precision Aire and consecutive parties involved. should PRECISION AIRE be the prevailing party, it SHALL BE ENTITLED TO AN AWARD OF ALL LEGAL AND COLLECTION COSTS, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, FILING FEES, AND COURT COSTS, financial losses, medical expenses, funeral costs, emotional pain and suffering, and costs incurred as a result of loss of income.
Concerning Our Office Staff: Our office is operating remotely and we have shortened our office hours to a flex schedule. We are taking messages with a quick return call in most cases, as we navigate during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are also strongly utilizing making appointments via email and via our ticket request system which can be found by going to our website at airconditioningservicefresno.com and clicking on submit a ticket.
Update to paperless system effective 4/1/2020 during pandemic and beyond: Precision Aire uses a paperless system via iPads, iphones and digital technology to email receipts, invoices, estimates, and collect payment. Effective immediately, we will use a “no contact” strategy as much as possible when signing contracts and transactions to limit person to person transmission and have moved to our digital system now in full. Our technician may sign on your behalf with your approval on the signature area of our ipad or iphone, this practice will still be subject to all terms and conditions in this contract.
Update to Payment Methods Accepted effective 7/1/2020 until further notice: Our accepted payment methods are temporarily changed until further notice, we accept Cash or Credit Card (Visa, MC, Amex, Disc). We will be unable to accept personal or business checks at this time.
What to Expect Should Precision Aire Develop symptoms or if it is necessary for a temporary closure:
Should anyone in our team develop any symptoms, we will update our website, messages and other avenues to distance ourselves from the spread. Because we are family owned and operated, and we are a small limited staff company, we may need to close our business without advanced notice in the time it takes to recover and self quarantine or to care for another family member. Should this happen, we will inform our customers as to any change in business as soon as we learn of the change.
Future Changes and Additions:
Changes and additions to our covid-19 practices will evolve as mandates and requirements change for our city and state. Updated changes will consistently be posted on our website at https://airconditioningservicefresno.com/covid-19-response/ .
