Applied HVAC · San Francisco Bay Area, CA
HVAC CARE & Reliability
Most HVAC contracts prove someone showed up. We prove the risk on your critical equipment is going down.
The Health Assessment is a $2,500 value, free for qualified sites. Three slots a month.

The problem
A completed checklist is not the same as a working machine.
We kept walking into mechanical rooms and seeing the same thing: a binder full of finished PM checklists sitting ten feet from a broken machine. The chiller was still down. The part was nine weeks away. Nobody had broken the rules of the maintenance plan — the plan was the problem.
Every building pays for reliability sooner or later. You can pay on a schedule you pick, or you can pay at 2 a.m., at emergency rates, with a rental unit on a truck and tenants on the phone.
Proof
What that difference looks like in the field
Three from our own job records, checked before publication.
A San Francisco hotel chiller was getting a third of the water flow it was built for. Another contractor had choked it down by hand months earlier, and every PM sheet since was marked complete. One adjustment fixed it the same day.
A North Bay school campus paid $64,833 across five trips and roughly three months because new alarm codes surfaced after each board was replaced. No critical spares were onsite, and every trip needed its own review and approval.
A central plant threw 525 flow trips in nine days. We saved the alarm history instead of clearing it. The survey that followed found 22 of 24 exchangers leaking, and ClimateCare provided rental, repair and replacement options to meet their needs.
The method
Five connected steps, not five separate invoices
Each step answers a question you already have, and hands the next step something it can use.
| Step | The question it answers | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Health Assessment | What shape is the equipment really in? | Condition, alarm history, what to fix first, and the right PM level |
| 2 Playbook + Training | What should our people do when it alarms? | A practiced recovery plan and operators trained against the factory manuals |
| 3 Critical Spares | Which part would keep us down for weeks? | The right parts on your shelf, so factory lead times stop deciding your downtime |
| 4 CARE PM | Is performance stable or slipping? | The same readings trended visit over visit, with what changed and why it matters |
| 5 Lifecycle Planning | Where does the next dollar belong? | A one-page plan your CFO can approve from, with the reasoning shown |

The work
Two services, one standard

Preventative Maintenance
Stop paying for a checklist. Start paying for fewer failures. Three tiers, each built on trended readings rather than attendance records.

Startup Services
Startup is not a visit, it is a system. Five defined phases so scope, schedule and turnover never fall between the people responsible.
A maintenance vendor proves work happened. We prove risk is going down.
Our guidance is a set of rules, not a repair. It protects information and prevents damage you can avoid. It never replaces a trained technician or the factory manual, and we put those limits in writing. A program that promises too much is just a slower emergency.
Uptime you can predict, risks ranked before they are emergencies, and documentation your leadership can act on without a translation layer.
Startup phases defined before mobilization, failed trips eliminated, and warranty decisions that move because the field facts were complete the first time.
Find out where you actually stand
A senior technician checks one piece of equipment you cannot afford to lose. Then we explain what we found, in person. If we cannot show you at least two risks you can act on, you owe us nothing.
