The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC system is vital to a sense of comfort and healthy indoor air. The furnace and air conditioner work tirelessly in the background, heating, cooling, managing the humidity and filtering your indoor air. A lot of homeowners take this functionality for granted until they have to do without them. If your AC has ever broken down on a scorching summer day, or the furnace has stopped working during a blizzard, you can understand what this is like firsthand.

No homeowner wants to deal with emergency repairs, a spike in energy bills or home comfort problems. What if you had a way to ensure an uninterrupted supply of clean, conditioned air when you want it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in. Like obtaining an oil change for your car, routine tune-ups are a must for keeping your HVAC system in good shape. And to get the most from each maintenance visit, you should think about enrolling in an HVAC maintenance contract.

This agreement is an arrangement between you and an HVAC contractor. Membership takes the guessing out of HVAC service by providing routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled visits and other benefits. An HVAC maintenance contract isn’t mandatory to request tune-ups with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, but we highly endorse signing up. Here are six reasons why.

1. Automated Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance

Life gets busier, so people often forget about requesting furnace maintenance for the fall and air conditioning maintenance before the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll be sent friendly reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re unsure of why HVAC maintenance is so worthwhile, consider these benefits:

• Expose minor problems early: Issues with your heating and cooling tend to form gradually. When a technician checks the internal components annually, it’s possible to pinpoint and take care of small problems before they grow to be big headaches.
• Decrease the risk of breakdowns: By fixing that loose fan belt and stabilizing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance appointment, the likelihood of a mid-season breakdown goes down.
• Smaller repair costs: Routine HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable cost that minimizes the need for numerous major repairs.
• Enhance energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that yearly maintenance can boost HVAC efficiency by close to 30%, bringing down your heating and cooling bills in the process.

• Increase home comfort: When your HVAC system performs the way it should, airflow improves for pleasant temperatures and more manageable humidity in your home.
• Prolong the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can live years longer compared to a neglected one, saving you on premature replacement equipment.
• Provide safety: An equipment and safety evaluation during each visit offers peace of mind that your HVAC system is performing as intended.
• Maintain your warranty: The bulk of HVAC manufacturers value preventive maintenance to such a degree that they demand once-a-year tune-ups to keep your warranty in good standing. Investing a little in upkeep now protects you from costly 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 schedule 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 most hectic weeks.

4. Discounted Repairs and Services

Preventive maintenance lowers the need for repair service, but if your system needs some attention, having an HVAC maintenance contract grants a 15% discount. You’ll also enjoy 15% off indoor air quality products, including 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 disappointed, your technician will return to make things right.
