The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your heating and cooling system is essential to home comfort 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. A lot of homeowners take these features for granted until they’re forced to do without them. If your AC has ever broken down on a blistering summer day, or the furnace has stopped working during a blizzard, you can understand what this is like firsthand.

No homeowner wishes to deal with emergency repairs, high energy bills or problems with their sense of comfort. What if you had a way to ensure a constant source of clean, climate controlled air when you need it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in. Like receiving an oil change for your car, consistent tune-ups are a must for keeping your HVAC system running at its best. And to get the maximum 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. Membership takes the guesswork out of HVAC service by providing routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled appointments and other perks. An HVAC maintenance contract is not required to request tune-ups with Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, but we highly recommend enrolling. Here are six reasons why.

1. Built-In Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance

Life gets hectic, so it’s not hard to forget about setting up furnace maintenance for the fall and air conditioning maintenance before the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll receive consistent reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re not sure why HVAC maintenance is so beneficial, check out these benefits:

• Expose minor problems early: Issues with your HVAC equipment tend to form slowly. When a technician checks the internal components once a year, it’s possible to find and fix small problems before they turn into big headaches.
• Decrease the risk of unexpected shutdowns: By fixing that loose fan belt and stabilizing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance call, the risk of a mid-season breakdown goes down.
• Smaller repair costs: Routine HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable cost that eliminates the need for most major repairs.
• Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that yearly maintenance can enhance HVAC efficiency by as high as 30%, bringing down your heating and cooling bills in the process.

• Increase home comfort: When your heating and cooling system functions the way it is supposed to, airflow improves for consistent temperatures and more balanced humidity in your home.
• Prolong the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can last years longer than a neglected one, saving you on early replacement expenses.
• Provide safety: An equipment and safety evaluation during every visit offers peace of mind that your home comfort system is running like it’s supposed to.
• Protect your warranty: Most HVAC manufacturers value preventive maintenance so much that they necessitate once-a-year tune-ups to keep your warranty in good standing. Investing a little in upkeep now protects you from pricey repairs that your warranty will 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 often anticipate same-day service—even during nights, weekends and holidays—thanks to 24/7/365 guaranteed priority service for members.

3. Priority Install

Planning on replacing your home comfort system? An HVAC maintenance plan allows access to the fastest installs feasible, even during the busiest times of year.

4. Discount on Repairs and Services

Preventive maintenance decreases the need for repair work, but if your system needs some professional 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 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 work leaves you unhappy, the technician will return to make things right.
