The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your heating and cooling system is the key to a comfortable home and healthy indoor air. The furnace and air conditioner work hard in the background, heating, cooling, controlling the humidity and filtering your home’s indoor air. Lots of homeowners take these functions for granted until they’re suddenly left 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 know what this is like firsthand.

No homeowner wishes to deal with last minute repairs, higher energy bills or home comfort problems. What if you had a way to maintain a constant source of clean, conditioned air when you need it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in handy. Like getting an oil change for your car, routine tune-ups are essential for keeping your HVAC system up and running. And to get the maximum from each maintenance visit, you should consider signing up for an HVAC maintenance contract.

This plan is an arrangement between you and the HVAC contractor. Membership takes the guessing out of HVAC service by supplying routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled visits and other perks. 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 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, take a look at these benefits:

• Reveal smaller problems early: Issues with your heating and cooling often form gradually. When a technician checks the internal components annually, it’s possible to pinpoint and fix small problems before they become big headaches.
• Reduce the risk of unexpected shutdowns: By securing that loose fan belt and balancing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance visit, the risk of a sudden breakdown decreases.
• Smaller repair costs: Scheduled HVAC maintenance is an affordable, foreseeable expense that eliminates the need for many major repairs.
• Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that yearly maintenance can boost HVAC efficiency by close to 30%, reducing your heating and cooling bills in the process.

• Increase home comfort: When your HVAC system functions the way it should, airflow improves for consistent temperatures and more balanced humidity in your home.
• Extend the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can live years longer than a neglected one, saving you on untimely replacement expenses.
• Ensure safety: An equipment and safety assessment during every visit grants peace of mind that your HVAC system is working like it’s supposed to.
• Maintain your warranty: The majority of HVAC manufacturers value preventive maintenance to such a degree that they require once-a-year tune-ups to keep your warranty in good standing. Investing a little in maintenance now shields you from pricey repairs that your warranty would otherwise cover.

2. Priority Service

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

3. Priority Install

Thinking about replacing your HVAC system? An HVAC maintenance plan gives you access to the most rapid installs available, even during the most hectic weeks.

4. Marked Down Repairs and Services

Regular maintenance reduces the need for repair service, but if your system needs some attention, having an HVAC maintenance agreement 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 know the technician has completed 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 dissatisfied, our technician will return to make things right.
