The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your heating and cooling system is essential to a comfortable home and healthy indoor air. The furnace and air conditioner work tirelessly in the background, heating, cooling, managing the humidity and filtering your home’s indoor air. Many homeowners take this functionality for granted until they’re forced to do without them. If your air conditioning has ever broken down on a scorching summer day, or the furnace has stopped working during a blizzard, you understand what this is like firsthand.

No homeowner wants to deal with emergency repairs, high energy bills or inconsistent home comfort. What if you could ensure a continuous supply of clean, climate controlled air when you need it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes into play. Like getting an oil change for your car, routine tune-ups are essential for keeping your HVAC system running at its best. And to get the maximum from each maintenance visit, you should think about enrolling in an HVAC maintenance contract.

This contract is an arrangement between you and the HVAC contractor. Participation takes the guessing out of HVAC service by providing routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled service calls and other advantages. An HVAC maintenance contract isn’t mandatory to request tune-ups with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, but we highly endorse signing up. Here are six reasons why.

1. Automatic Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance

Life gets busy, so it’s not hard to forget about scheduling furnace maintenance in the fall and air conditioning maintenance in the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll be sent scheduled reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re unfamiliar with why HVAC maintenance is so important, check out these benefits:

• Expose smaller problems right away: Issues with your home comfort system often progress slowly. When a technician checks the internal components annually, it’s possible to pinpoint and take care of little problems before they become big headaches.
• Reduce the risk of breakdowns: By tightening that loose fan belt and evening out the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance appointment, the chance of a sudden breakdown decreases.
• Lower repair costs: Routine HVAC maintenance is an affordable, expected amount that reduces the need for many major repairs.
• Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that annual maintenance can boost HVAC efficiency by as high as 30%, bringing down your heating and cooling bills in the process.

• Encourage home comfort: When your HVAC system operates the way it is supposed to, airflow improves for even temperatures and more balanced humidity in every room.
• Prolong the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can last years longer versus a neglected one, saving you on premature replacement equipment.
• Provide safety: An equipment and safety assessment during each visit offers peace of mind that your home comfort system is running as intended.
• Adhere to your warranty: The bulk of HVAC manufacturers value preventive maintenance to such a degree that they require annual tune-ups to keep your warranty active. Investing a little in maintenance now protects you from costly repairs that your warranty would otherwise cover.

2. Priority Service

Having an HVAC maintenance plan puts you at the front of the line when you schedule an emergency repair. You can usually count on same-day service—even on nights, weekends and holidays—thanks to 24/7/365 guaranteed priority service for members.

3. Priority Install

Thinking about replacing your home comfort system? An HVAC contract grants access to the most rapid installs available, even during the busiest times of year.

4. Discounted Repairs and Services

Preventive maintenance lowers the need for repair work, but if your system needs some attention, having an HVAC maintenance plan provides a 15% discount. You’ll also receive 15% off indoor air quality products, such as pleated filters, whole-house humidifiers and charged media air cleaners.

5. Repair Guarantee

How can you be sure the technician has performed a job well done? Put your mind at ease with a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all repairs and installations for one year. If the work leaves you dissatisfied, our technician will return to set things right.
