The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC equipment is essential to a comfortable home and healthy indoor air. The furnace and air conditioner work tirelessly in the background, heating, cooling, managing the humidity and filtering your indoor air. Lots of homeowners take these features for granted until they have to do 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 wants to deal with last minute repairs, high energy bills or inconsistent home comfort. What if there was a way to guarantee a constant source of healthy, conditioned air when you want it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes into play. Like getting an oil change for your car, regularly scheduled tune-ups are a must for keeping your HVAC system in good shape. And to get the maximum from each maintenance visit, you should consider enrolling in an HVAC maintenance contract.

This plan is an arrangement between you and an HVAC contractor. Membership takes the guesswork out of HVAC service by delivering routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled appointments and other benefits. An HVAC maintenance contract isn’t required to schedule tune-ups with Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, but we highly endorse enrolling. 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 get scheduled 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:

• Expose minor problems early: Issues with your home comfort system usually develop gradually. When a technician inspects the internal components once a year, it’s possible to pinpoint and resolve smaller problems before they turn into big headaches.
• Reduce the risk of equipment failures: By fixing that loose fan belt and stabilizing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance visit, the chance of an unexpected breakdown goes down.
• Saving on repair costs: Routine HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable cost that minimizes the need for most major repairs.
• Increase energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that once-a-year maintenance can enhance HVAC efficiency by close to 30%, reducing your heating and cooling bills simultaneously.

• Encourage home comfort: When your home comfort system operates the way it should, airflow improves for pleasant temperatures and more comfortable humidity in every room.
• Extend 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 costs.
• Ensure safety: An equipment and safety assessment during every visit offers peace of mind that your HVAC system is running safely.
• Protect your warranty: Most HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance to such a degree that they require once-a-year tune-ups to keep your warranty active. Investing a little in upkeep now protects you from pricey 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 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 gives you access to the quickest installs feasible, even during the most hectic weeks.

4. Marked Down Repairs and Services

Regular maintenance reduces the need for repair calls, but if your system needs some attention, having an HVAC maintenance plan provides a 15% discount. You’ll also receive 15% off indoor air quality products, such as pleated filters, whole-house humidifiers and charged media air cleaners.

5. Repair Guarantee

How can you ensure 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 disappointed, our technician will return to make things right.
