The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract
Your HVAC system is the key to a sense of comfort and high air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work tirelessly in the background, heating, cooling, managing the humidity and filtering your indoor air. Lots of homeowners take these features for granted until they’re forced to do without them. If your air conditioning has ever stopped working on a blistering summer day, or the furnace can’t generate enough heat during a blizzard, you know what this is like firsthand.
No homeowner likes to deal with emergency repairs, higher energy bills or inconsistent home comfort. What if you had a way to maintain a constant supply of clean, climate controlled air when you want it most?
That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in handy. Like getting an oil change for your car, routine tune-ups are vital for keeping your HVAC system running at its best. And to get the maximum from each maintenance visit, you should consider enrolling in an HVAC maintenance contract.
This agreement is an arrangement between you and an HVAC contractor. Your membership takes the guessing out of HVAC service by providing routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled appointments and other perks. An HVAC maintenance contract isn’t required to request tune-ups with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, but we highly endorse registering. Here are six reasons why.
1. Automated Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance
Life gets hectic, so it’s not hard to forget about requesting furnace maintenance in the fall and air conditioning maintenance in the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll get friendly reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re unsure of why HVAC maintenance is so beneficial, consider these benefits:
- Expose smaller problems right away: Issues with your HVAC equipment usually develop slowly. When a technician examines the internal components once a year, it’s possible to pinpoint and take care of little problems before they turn into big headaches.
- Lower the risk of breakdowns: By fixing that loose fan belt and evening out the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance call, the chance of a mid-season breakdown goes down.
- Lower repair costs: Scheduled HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable amount that minimizes the need for numerous major repairs.
- Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that annual maintenance can increase HVAC efficiency by as high as 30%, bringing down your heating and cooling bills at the same time.
- Encourage home comfort: When your home comfort system performs the way it should, airflow improves for consistent temperatures and more manageable humidity in every room.
- Prolong the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can live years longer versus a neglected one, saving you on early replacement equipment.
- Ensure safety: An equipment and safety evaluation during each visit delivers peace of mind that your home comfort system is running safely.
- Adhere to your warranty: The majority of HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance so much that they necessitate once-a-year tune-ups to keep your warranty in good standing. Investing a little in upkeep now safeguards you from pricey 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 call to request 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
Planning to replace your heating and cooling system? An HVAC contract allows access to the fastest installs available, even during the busiest weeks.
4. Marked Down Repairs and Services
Routine maintenance lowers the need for repair calls, but if your system needs some TLC, having an HVAC maintenance plan provides a 15% discount. You’ll also receive 15% off indoor air quality products, including 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 final product leave you disappointed, our technician will return to make things right.
