Tuning Service/Dampp-Chaser Service

[tuner at helmsmusic.net]

Hi Matthew -

I do charge extra for both the pads and the service. The humidifier rod,
and sometimes the tank, need to be cleaned of all the gunk/mineral
deposits, and the system checked to see that it's working properly. I also
fill the tank if the light is flashing. Does it take extra time? Yes, so I
charge for it.

BTW, I typically only have to change the pads & service the system
annually - I tell my customers to use distilled water, which drastically
reduces the buildup on the humidifier rod, and extends the life of the
pads. If they're crusty at the 6 month tuning, of course, I change them,
but this is almost never necessary if they use distilled water.
