Wait times
It is not possible to provide anyone with a specific date or time range of when their unit will be serviced, as every unit is different as we go through the queue.
However, please keep in mind that depending on the complexity of the service that is requested, we have an estimated wait time of ~1 year or more. Our search for a technician has not been successful as of yet, which results in the wait for service being longer than anyone would prefer.
Unfortunately, any service requests placed from now until the end of 2024 will likely not be completed until sometime in 2025 or later.
