Hi. I have some coin operated machines in a building of mine. I am looking for referrals for a service company that serves the Denver area.
My current place Has great service, but I just seem to be calling them a lot and I'd like a second opinion. Also, where can I purchase used coin operated machines in the future? It seems these machines go for $750+ per washer/dryer. If one of my machines quits on my I don't think I'd replace it for that cost.

Also, are there any energy efficiency rebates on high efficiency machines that make newer models worth purchasing? Where do you purchase your commercial machines from?

@Steven Silva I unfortunately don't have any references for you. For rebates, there are two sources of those, the water provider and the power provider. I know Aurora Water has rebates for higher efficiency washers and toilets. I did a remodel and they rebated some money. If I remember right it was just about the cost difference from a standard efficiency unit. No big shakes at the time. Not sure where they are now. I don't know of any by Xcel but you can call and ask them or google it. If you have one of the local power coops providing power then you should contact them. They usually do have programs.

Laundry equip is high maintenance. Many try to provide this and run into your experience.
I provide hook-ups for their appliances and and skirt the issue of maintenance.
If I had a centralized laundry, I would contract out the whole thing (sell off equip) and split the profits with the service provider. You will still be hassled by requests for maintenance but can relay them to the provider.

@Jeff B. I was planning on it. But I may be out of town by then. We will see! Hopefully someone locally can answer my questions. I definitely need to get them working. I generally make money on them even with all the maintenance, but I feel like it should be twice as much.
