By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please discontinue use of our website and do not engage our services.

Gold Standard reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website with a revised effective date. Continued use of our website or services following any such update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

 

1. Services Provided

Gold Standard is an HVAC contractor providing the following services to residential and commercial clients:

• Heating system installation, repair, and maintenance, including furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps

• Air conditioning installation, repair, and maintenance, including central air and ductless mini-split systems

• Ventilation assessment and ductwork services

All services are performed by qualified technicians in accordance with applicable building codes and industry standards. Service availability may vary by location. Gold Standard does not guarantee service availability in all areas and reserves the right to decline service requests at its discretion.

 

2. Estimates and Pricing

Any estimate or quote provided by Gold Standard is based on information available at the time of assessment. Final pricing may differ from the initial estimate if additional issues are identified during service, if required parts or materials differ from what was originally scoped, or if conditions at the property affect the scope of work.

We will communicate any material changes to pricing before proceeding with additional work beyond the original scope. Estimates are not guarantees of final cost unless confirmed in a signed written service agreement. Verbal quotes are for informational purposes only and are not binding.

 

3. Scheduling and Appointments

Appointments are scheduled based on technician availability. We make every effort to honor confirmed appointment windows; however, scheduling may be affected by emergency service calls, weather conditions, or unforeseen delays. In such cases, we will contact you as promptly as possible to reschedule.

If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice, or failure to be present at the time of a scheduled appointment, may result in a cancellation charge. Any applicable charge will be disclosed to you at the time of booking.

 

4. Payment Terms

4.1 Residential Services

Payment for residential HVAC repairs and installations is due upon completion of the service, unless other arrangements have been confirmed in writing prior to the start of work.

 

4.2 Maintenance Agreements

Customers enrolled in a service maintenance plan will be billed according to the schedule and terms outlined in their individual plan agreement. Maintenance plan pricing covers scheduled tune-ups and priority scheduling. It does not include parts, refrigerant, or repairs outside the scope defined in the plan unless separately agreed upon in writing.

 

4.3 Commercial Services

Commercial clients may be subject to separate billing schedules, net payment terms, or contract pricing as outlined in their service agreement with Gold Standard. In the absence of a written commercial agreement, standard residential payment terms apply.

 

4.4 Accepted Payment Methods

We accept the following forms of payment:

• Major credit and debit cards

• Check (made payable to Gold Standard)

• Electronic payment methods as specified at time of service

Unpaid balances outstanding beyond 30 days from the invoice date may be subject to a late fee at a rate permitted by applicable law, and may be referred to a collections process. The customer is responsible for any reasonable costs incurred in collecting overdue amounts, including attorney fees where permitted by law.

 

5. Warranties and Guarantees

5.1 Labor Warranty

Gold Standard warrants the quality of our workmanship as specified in your service agreement, installation contract, or written proposal. Labor warranty terms, including duration and coverage, may vary depending on the scope of work and will be clearly outlined in writing. If a defect in workmanship is identified within the applicable warranty period, we will return to correct the issue at no additional labor charge. This warranty applies only to work performed by Gold Standard and is non-transferable.

 

5.2 Equipment and Parts Warranty

Warranty coverage on HVAC equipment, parts, and components is governed by the terms of the applicable manufacturer's warranty. We will assist customers in understanding manufacturer warranty terms and support warranty claim submissions where possible. Gold Standard does not extend or supplement manufacturer warranties beyond their original terms, and is not responsible for manufacturer warranty decisions.

 

5.3 Warranty Exclusions

Our labor warranty does not apply to issues arising from: customer misuse, neglect, or improper operation of the HVAC system; failure to follow recommended maintenance schedules; unauthorized modifications or repairs made to the system by a third party after our service; normal wear and tear; or damage caused by external factors including power surges, flooding, fire, or structural deficiencies. Warranty coverage is void if the system is altered, serviced, or tampered with by anyone other than Gold Standard personnel during the warranty period without our prior written consent.

 

6. Customer Responsibilities

To ensure the safe and effective delivery of HVAC services, customers agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information about the property, existing HVAC systems, and the nature of the issue being reported

• Ensure technicians have safe, clear, and unobstructed access to HVAC equipment, utility shutoffs, electrical panels, and all relevant work areas

• Disclose any known hazardous conditions on the property, including but not limited to mold, asbestos, or carbon monoxide risks, prior to service

• Follow all post-service care and operating instructions provided by our technicians

• Notify Gold Standard promptly if any concerns arise following the completion of service

Failure to fulfill these responsibilities may void applicable warranties or limit our liability for resulting issues.

 

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Gold Standard's total liability for any claim arising from services rendered, or failure to render services, is limited to the total amount paid by the customer for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to property damage resulting from pre-existing conditions, loss of use of heating or cooling systems, increased utility costs, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for damages resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

 

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Gold Standard, its owners, technicians, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of or related to: your misuse of our services; your failure to provide accurate information about your property or HVAC system; your violation of these Terms; or your breach of any applicable law or regulation. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms.

 

9. Third-Party Products and Referrals

Gold Standard may recommend or install third-party HVAC equipment, thermostats, air filtration systems, or related products. Our responsibility is limited to the quality of our installation workmanship. We are not responsible for the performance, safety, defects, or warranty terms of third-party products after proper installation. All product-related warranty claims and performance concerns should be directed to the applicable manufacturer.
