Book a check
Book a pre-season check
A shed manager or an owner reads this, and calls back the same working day. If product is at risk right now, call the line instead.
Questions
Before you write
When should we book the pre-season check?
Four to six weeks before your first load of the crop. For stone fruit that is March or April, for table grapes June, for citrus October. Rooms that sat empty need the most time, because a part that fails on the check can still be ordered.
Who answers the 24-hour line, and do nights cost more?
A refrigeration technician on call answers, not a message service. Nights, weekends and holidays are billed under the service agreement you sign before the season, and we put that rate in writing then, not at 2 a.m.
How do you quote work?
Every job is quoted per room or per line, in writing, before work starts. The quote lists the scope, the equipment, who pulls the permit and how long the number holds. There is no price list because a pre-cool tunnel and a single walk-in are different jobs.
