The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC equipment is the key to a sense of comfort and high air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work hard in the background, heating, cooling, controlling the humidity and filtering your home’s indoor air. A lot of homeowners take these functions for granted until they have to do without them. If your AC has ever broken down on a scorching 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 emergency repairs, a spike in energy bills or home comfort problems. What if there was a way to ensure an uninterrupted supply of healthy, conditioned air when you need it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in handy. Like obtaining an oil change for your car, consistent tune-ups are vital for keeping your HVAC system up and running. And to get the most from each maintenance visit, you should look into applying for an HVAC maintenance contract.

This agreement is an arrangement between you and an HVAC contractor. 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 isn’t required to schedule tune-ups with Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, but we highly recommend registering. Here are six reasons why.

1. Automatic Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance

Life gets busier, so people often forget about requesting 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 worthwhile, consider these benefits:

• Expose minor problems early on: Issues with your HVAC equipment often progress slowly. When a technician inspects the internal components annually, it’s possible to locate and fix smaller problems before they grow to be big headaches.
• Reduce the risk of unexpected shutdowns: By securing that loose fan belt and balancing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance appointment, the likelihood of an unexpected breakdown goes down.
• Lower repair costs: Planned HVAC maintenance is an affordable, expected cost that eliminates the need for numerous major repairs.
• Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that once-a-year maintenance can boost HVAC efficiency by close to 30%, lowering your heating and cooling bills at the same time.

• Boost home comfort: When your heating and cooling system functions the way it should, airflow improves for pleasant temperatures and more manageable humidity throughout the house.
• Prolong 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 untimely replacement costs.
• Ensure safety: An equipment and safety assessment during each visit grants peace of mind that your HVAC system is running as intended.
• Maintain your warranty: Most HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance to such a degree that they necessitate once-a-year tune-ups to keep your warranty active. Investing a little in upkeep now safeguards you from expensive repairs that your warranty should 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 typically anticipate 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 heating and cooling system? An HVAC agreement gives you access to the quickest installs feasible, even during the busiest times of year.

4. Marked Down Repairs and Services

Regular maintenance decreases the need for repair service, but if your system needs some TLC, having an HVAC maintenance contract grants a 15% discount. You’ll also have access to 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 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 dissatisfied, our technician will return to set things right.
