Travel: No travel charge for properties within 12 km driving distance of Annapolis Royal town centre. For properties farther away, we calculate the return driving distance from town centre, deduct the first 24 km, and charge $0.90 CAD per remaining kilometre. Travel charges are confirmed before service. Travel is charged once per attendance, not for each task, and there is no hourly travel-time charge.
Routine home-check discounts: Weekly: 10%. Every two weeks: 5%. Monthly: standard rate. Discounts apply to eligible routine home checks under the initial six-month agreement; they do not apply to Concierge Services, travel, urgent attendance or third-party expenses. Cancel any time with 30 days’ written notice: no early cancellation penalty, and discounts already received are not recovered. See Cancellation & Service Agreements.
HST: HST is not currently charged. Purchases, materials and third-party service fees are additional and agreed in advance. These are the published visit rates. If your property needs a different scope, any revised quotation is agreed before booking.
Service limits: All checks are visual, non-invasive observations within the agreed scope and safe access. Equipment indicators do not confirm that a system is working correctly. We do not climb onto roofs, use ladders, open electrical panels, test pumps, reset breakers or carry out technical assessments. Adjustments, equipment operation and practical tasks require separate agreement and authorisation.
- Travel charge = max(0, return driving distance − 24 km) × $0.90.
- 12 km away: 24 km return − 24 km = $0.
- 15 km away: 30 km return − 24 km = 6 km × $0.90 = $5.40.
- 20 km away: 40 km return − 24 km = 16 km × $0.90 = $14.40.
