The agreement outlines the obligations of the HVAC provider, the completion date, payment terms, liability, termination, and other important clauses.

The HVAC provider's obligations are outlined in section 2. It states that the HVAC provider must carry out the work diligently, using good quality materials and workmanship. They are also required to comply with any instructions or variations issued by the customer. If any instructions result in a delay, the HVAC provider can claim an extension of time.
