The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC equipment is the key to home comfort and indoor air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work hard in the background, heating, cooling, managing the humidity and filtering your indoor air. A lot 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 wants to deal with emergency repairs, high energy bills or inconsistent home comfort. What if there was a way to ensure an uninterrupted supply 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, 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 signing up for an HVAC maintenance contract. 

This contract is an arrangement between you and a trusted HVAC contractor. Your membership takes the uncertainty out of HVAC service by delivering routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled visits and other advantages. An HVAC maintenance contract is not required to schedule tune-ups with Levy & Son Service Experts, but we highly encourage signing up. Here are six reasons why. 

1. Automatic Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance 

Life gets hectic, so it’s not hard to forget about scheduling furnace maintenance in the fall and air conditioning maintenance in the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll be sent consistent reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re not sure why HVAC maintenance is so important, consider these benefits: 

• Uncover minor problems early: Issues with your home comfort system tend to develop slowly. When a technician checks the internal components once a year, it’s possible to find and fix small problems before they become big headaches. 
• Reduce the risk of breakdowns: By tightening that loose fan belt and evening out the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance visit, the chance of an unexpected breakdown decreases. 
• Lower repair costs: Planned HVAC maintenance is an affordable, expected cost that eliminates the need for most major repairs. 
• Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that annual maintenance can increase HVAC efficiency by up to 30%, lowering your heating and cooling bills in the process. 

• Increase home comfort: When your home comfort system operates the way it should, airflow improves for even temperatures and more comfortable humidity in every room. 
• Extend the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can last years longer than a neglected one, saving you on untimely replacement costs. 
• Guarantee safety: An equipment and safety evaluation during each visit offers peace of mind that your heating and cooling system is working as intended. 
• Maintain your warranty: Most HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance so much that they require annual tune-ups to keep your warranty valid. Investing a little in upkeep now protects you from pricey repairs that your warranty should cover. 

2. Priority Service 

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

3. Priority Install 

Planning to replace your home comfort system? An HVAC contract gives you access to the fastest installs available, even during the most hectic weeks. 

4. Discounted Repairs and Services 

Regular maintenance decreases the need for repair service, but if your system needs some TLC, having an HVAC maintenance contract entitles you to 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. No Trip Charge 

Heating and cooling repairs are sometimes inevitable, but they can get costly fast. Thankfully, with an HVAC membership, you’ll never pay trip charges or overtime fees, even for emergency and after-hour visits. 

6. Repair Guarantee 

How can you be sure 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 final product leave you dissatisfied, our technician will return to correct things.
