The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC equipment is the key to home comfort and indoor air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work hard in the background, heating, cooling, regulating the humidity and filtering your home’s indoor air. Many homeowners take these features for granted until they have to do without them. If your air conditioner has ever broken down on a sweltering summer day, or the furnace has failed during a blizzard, you can understand what this is like firsthand.

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

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in handy. Like obtaining 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 look into signing up for an HVAC maintenance contract.

This contract is an arrangement between you and an HVAC contractor. Membership takes the uncertainty out of HVAC service by providing routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled visits and other benefits. An HVAC maintenance contract isn’t required to schedule 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 hectic, so it’s not hard to forget about requesting furnace maintenance for the fall and air conditioning maintenance in the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll receive friendly reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re not sure why HVAC maintenance is so worthwhile, check out these benefits:

• Reveal small problems right away: Issues with your home comfort system usually progress gradually. When a technician checks the internal components annually, it’s possible to locate and take care of small problems before they turn into big headaches.
• Decrease the risk of breakdowns: By tightening that loose fan belt and balancing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance appointment, the risk of a mid-season breakdown decreases.
• Lower repair costs: Routine HVAC maintenance is an affordable, foreseeable amount that reduces the need for many major repairs.
• Increase energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that yearly maintenance can boost HVAC efficiency by close to 30%, reducing your heating and cooling bills simultaneously.

• Increase home comfort: When your home comfort system operates the way it is supposed to, airflow improves for even temperatures and more manageable humidity throughout the house.
• Extend the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can last years longer compared to a neglected one, saving you on untimely replacement expenses.
• Ensure safety: An equipment and safety evaluation during each visit delivers peace of mind that your heating and cooling system is performing safely.
• Maintain your warranty: The bulk of HVAC manufacturers value preventive maintenance so much that they require once-a-year tune-ups to keep your warranty valid. Investing a little in upkeep now shields you from expensive repairs that your warranty will 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 anticipate 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 HVAC system? An HVAC agreement allows access to the most rapid installs possible, even during the busiest times of year.

4. Discount on Repairs and Services

Routine maintenance decreases the need for repair service, but if your system needs some TLC, having an HVAC maintenance plan grants 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 unhappy, the technician will return to set things right.
