The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your heating and cooling system is essential to a sense of comfort and high air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work around the clock in the background, heating, cooling, controlling the humidity and filtering your home’s indoor air. A lot of homeowners take this functionality for granted until they have to do without them. If your air conditioning has ever broken down on a sweltering summer day, or the furnace can’t generate enough heat during a blizzard, you can understand what this is like firsthand.

No homeowner wants to deal with last minute repairs, a spike in energy bills or inconsistent home comfort. What if there was a way to ensure a continuous supply of healthy, climate controlled air when you want it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in. Like getting an oil change for your car, consistent tune-ups are essential for keeping your HVAC system in good shape. And to get every benefit from each maintenance visit, you should think about applying for an HVAC maintenance contract.

This plan is an arrangement between you and the HVAC contractor. Your membership takes the guessing out of HVAC service by delivering routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled service calls and other advantages. An HVAC maintenance contract is not required to request tune-ups with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, but we highly recommend signing up. Here are six reasons why.

1. Automated Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance

Life gets busier, so it’s easy to forget about setting up furnace maintenance for 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 not sure why HVAC maintenance is so worthwhile, consider these benefits:

• Expose small problems right away: Issues with your heating and cooling tend to progress gradually. When a technician checks the internal components once a year, it’s possible to find and take care of smaller problems before they grow to be big headaches.
• Decrease the risk of equipment failures: By tightening that loose fan belt and evening out the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance appointment, the likelihood of a mid-season breakdown goes down.
• Lower repair costs: Scheduled HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable amount that minimizes the need for many major repairs.
• Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that once-a-year maintenance can increase HVAC efficiency by as high as 30%, reducing your heating and cooling bills simultaneously.

• Encourage home comfort: When your HVAC system performs the way it is supposed to, airflow improves for consistent temperatures and more balanced humidity throughout the house.
• Lengthen 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 premature replacement equipment.
• Ensure safety: An equipment and safety assessment during each visit offers peace of mind that your HVAC system is running safely.
• Maintain your warranty: The bulk of HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance to such a degree that they necessitate annual tune-ups to keep your warranty valid. Investing a little in upkeep now safeguards you from expensive repairs that your warranty should cover.

2. Priority Service

Having an HVAC maintenance agreement puts you at the front of the line when you call to request an emergency repair. You can typically anticipate same-day service—even for nights, weekends and holidays—thanks to 24/7/365 guaranteed priority service for members.

3. Priority Install

Planning on replacing your heating and cooling system? An HVAC contract allows access to the quickest installs available, even during the busiest times of year.

4. Discounted Repairs and Services

Preventive maintenance reduces the need for repair service, but if your system needs some TLC, having an HVAC maintenance agreement grants 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 executed a job well done? Put your mind at ease with a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all repairs and installations for one year. If the results leave you unhappy, your technician will return to correct things.
