The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC system is essential to home comfort and indoor air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work around the clock in the background, heating, cooling, controlling the humidity and filtering your indoor air. A lot of homeowners take this functionality for granted until they’re suddenly left without them. If your AC has ever broken down on a sweltering summer day, or the furnace has failed 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 had a way to ensure an uninterrupted source of clean, climate controlled air when you want it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes into play. Like obtaining an oil change for your car, regularly scheduled tune-ups are essential for keeping your HVAC system in good shape. And to get every benefit from each maintenance visit, you should look into enrolling in an HVAC maintenance contract.

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

1. Built-In Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance

Life gets hectic, so it’s not hard to forget about scheduling furnace maintenance for 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 beneficial, check out these benefits:

• Reveal smaller problems right away: Issues with your HVAC equipment usually develop slowly. When a technician examines the internal components each year, it’s possible to locate and take care of small problems before they grow to be big headaches.
• Lower the risk of unexpected shutdowns: By fixing that loose fan belt and balancing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance visit, the likelihood of a mid-season breakdown diminishes.
• Saving on repair costs: Planned HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable expense that minimizes the need for numerous major repairs.
• Increase energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that once-a-year maintenance can boost HVAC efficiency by as high as 30%, reducing your heating and cooling bills at the same time.

• Increase home comfort: When your home comfort system operates the way it should, airflow improves for pleasant temperatures and more manageable humidity in every room.
• Lengthen the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can survive for years longer versus a neglected one, saving you on early replacement costs.
• Provide safety: An equipment and safety assessment during every visit delivers peace of mind that your heating and cooling system is running like it’s supposed to.
• Maintain your warranty: Most HVAC manufacturers value preventive maintenance so much that they necessitate annual tune-ups to keep your warranty active. Investing a little in maintenance now protects you from pricey 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 usually expect same-day service—even for nights, weekends and holidays—thanks to 24/7/365 guaranteed priority service for members.

3. Priority Install

Planning to replace your home comfort system? An HVAC agreement allows access to the most rapid installs possible, even during the busiest times of year.

4. Discounted Repairs and Services

Routine maintenance lowers the need for repair work, but if your system needs some attention, having an HVAC maintenance contract entitles you to 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 ensure 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, the technician will return to correct things.
