Commercial HVAC failures cost real money — closed restaurants, frozen retail customers, deactivated medical offices, and disrupted tenants making noise with property management. A quarterly preventive maintenance contract catches 80% of would-be emergencies before they hit. Contracts start at $360/year for a single 3-5 ton RTU, with multi-property pricing available for portfolios. We provide documented PM service with written reports your landlord, property manager, or insurance carrier can review on demand. Available across Mabank, Cedar Creek Lake Area, and the full DFW metroplex.
Commercial PM Contract Pricing — Honest Ranges
Commercial PM pricing depends on the number and size of units, contract tier, and property complexity. Typical ranges:
- Basic PM (single 3-5 ton RTU): $360-$520/year — 2 visits/year (spring AC + fall heating), written reports, 10% repair discount
- Standard PM (single 3-5 ton RTU): $520-$780/year — 4 quarterly visits, filter replacements included, 15% repair discount, no overtime on emergencies
- Premium PM (single 3-5 ton RTU): $780-$1,200/year — 4 quarterly visits + monthly filter checks, priority scheduling, 20% repair discount, extended equipment warranty pass-through
- Two RTUs (5-ton each, standard tier): $640-$880/year total
- Multi-system properties (4+ units): $200-$280 per unit per year (bulk pricing)
- Multi-property portfolios (6+ properties): custom-quoted, typically $170-$240 per unit per year
- Restaurant PM (includes make-up air unit + walk-in HVAC coordination): +$180-$320/year over standard commercial
- Medical / dental office PM (compliance documentation add-on): +$120-$240/year over standard
Contracts are annual, no auto-renew. Bulk pricing on larger portfolios includes assigned account manager and single-invoice consolidated billing.
What's Included in a Commercial PM Contract
- Quarterly visits — spring, summer, fall, winter (configurable to your peak seasons)
- Rooftop coil cleaning — outdoor coils on every visit, indoor coils as needed
- Belt inspection and replacement on belt-drive blowers
- Refrigerant verification with proper subcool / superheat measurement
- Electrical tightening — all contactors, terminals, disconnects (loose connections are the #1 cause of contactor failure)
- Combustion analysis on gas heating sections (fall/winter visits) with calibrated flue gas analyzer — CO safety documentation
- Filter replacement — included with standard and premium contract tiers
- Condensate drain inspection and treatment — prevents mid-summer overflow damage
- Refrigerant leak scan with electronic leak detector on units with slow-loss history
- Written PM report after every visit — insurance and landlord ready format
- 15% discount on repairs (20% on premium tier) not covered under PM scope
- No overtime charges on emergency calls during contract term
- Priority scheduling during peak season heat waves and freeze events
The ROI Math — Why PM Contracts Pay Back
Real numbers from customer patterns over 3-5 year windows:
- Single major emergency avoided per year — a rooftop compressor failure preventable through PM runs $2,800-$6,400 vs $520 for standard PM contract = 5-12x ROI on the year that would have happened
- Extended equipment life — a well-maintained commercial RTU lasts 18-22 years vs 10-14 years without maintenance. On a $14,000 replacement, avoiding 8 years of premature aging = $8,000 in deferred capital cost
- Energy efficiency preservation — dirty coils reduce efficiency 20-30%. Quarterly cleanings preserve rated efficiency. On a $6,000/year utility bill, that's $1,200-$1,800/year in preserved savings
- Insurance premium impact — some commercial insurance carriers reduce premiums for documented HVAC maintenance programs, especially in restaurant and medical categories
- Reduced downtime cost — a restaurant closing for a day during a summer no-cool emergency loses $3,000-$8,000 in revenue plus reputation damage; a medical office cancels 20-30 patient appointments; retail loses foot traffic

- Custom SLAs — response time and repair authorization limits configured per property or tenant based on lease terms
Insurance and Compliance Documentation
Commercial PM contracts include documentation that commercial insurance carriers, property managers, and health departments increasingly require:
- PM visit reports with date, tech name, measurements, work performed, and any recommendations
- Combustion analysis reports on gas heating (fall/winter visits) — CO in flue gas, CO in supply air, combustion efficiency, temperature rise
- Refrigerant tracking logs for EPA Section 608 compliance (required for commercial refrigerant handling over 5 lbs)
- Photo documentation of before/after coil cleanings and any component condition concerns
- Warranty status tracking — we monitor when equipment warranties expire and note it in reports
- End-of-year annual summary report — comprehensive review of all PM visits, repairs, equipment condition ratings, and recommended capital investments for the coming year

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a commercial HVAC maintenance contract cost?
Single 3-5 ton RTU: basic PM $360-$520/year, standard $520-$780, premium $780-$1,200. Two 5-ton RTUs: $640-$880/year total. Multi-system properties (4+ units): $200-$280 per unit per year. Multi-property portfolios (6+): $170-$240 per unit per year. Restaurant and medical office add-ons available. All quoted flat-rate annually — contracts are month-to-month with no auto-renew commitment.
Do contracts auto-renew?
No. Contracts are annual with no auto-renew. We earn your renewal each year with the quality of our work. Some property management customers prefer 3-year commitments for locked pricing — we offer that option but never as default.
What if I sell the property mid-contract?
Contracts transfer to the new owner at no additional cost, or we prorate a refund of unused visits — your choice. Multi-property contracts can transfer per-property or in bulk depending on the sale structure.
Can multiple properties be on one contract?
Yes. Multi-property pricing available — typically more economical than per-property contracts. Portfolios of 6+ properties get assigned account manager, consolidated billing, standardized reporting, and priority dispatch across all locations during peak events.
How does the 15% repair discount work?
Any repair we do during your contract year that isn't already included in PM scope gets 15% off (20% on premium tier). Applied automatically at invoicing. Typical customer with 4 RTUs might save $600-$1,800/year on repair work alone — often exceeding the PM contract cost.
What does 'no overtime charges on emergency calls' mean?
Standard after-hours commercial diagnostic is $149-$189 (vs $129-$149 daytime, a $50 premium). Under a PM contract, after-hours calls are billed at daytime rate — no premium. On a single after-hours emergency during a heat wave or freeze, that's $50-$60 saved. Multiple emergencies over the year: recovers a substantial portion of the annual contract cost.
Do you provide compliance documentation for our insurance carrier?
Yes. PM contract customers receive documented service reports after every visit, combustion analysis reports (gas heating), refrigerant tracking logs (EPA Section 608 compliance for commercial refrigerant), photo documentation of cleanings and any concerns, and an end-of-year annual summary report suitable for insurance, landlord, or health department review.
Can PM contracts help my HVAC equipment last longer?
Yes, measurably. Well-maintained commercial RTUs last 18-22 years vs 10-14 years for unmaintained equipment. On a $14,000 replacement, extending life by 8 years defers $8,000+ in capital cost. Multi-property portfolios often build capital budget planning around this equipment lifespan projection.
