We have been operating our jet plant system for over 20 years.  My husband has a great understanding of how this system operates.  The company that installed the plant has always been at our disposal when we need help with maintenance and/or repairs.  When we learned that there may be changes in the law which would require us to purchase a maintenance contract in order to continue running our system I was dismayed.  First of all, we do not have many companies in the area who service these units.  Second, we are still going to have to do the routine maintenance ourselves.  We will have to pay someone to inspect a couple of times a year but who doesn't perform any real services.  When speaking to our installer they told me the contracts are essentially a payment to insure that we have someone available to do repairs in case we have issues.  We do - we have the company who installed our system just a phone call away but we only have to pay them for actual services performed.  The goal should be that when system owners whose monitoring doesn't meet criteria (possibly two times in a row) then they would have to purchase this service contract.  Please do not punish those of us who have continually had good inspections and never had problems.  We want to run our system correctly and be good stewards of the environment.  What we do object to is having the cost of running our system so high that we would not be able to afford it, especially as we are approaching retirement age.
