The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC equipment is the key to a sense of comfort and healthy indoor air. The furnace and air conditioner work hard in the background, heating, cooling, managing the humidity and filtering your home’s indoor air. Lots of homeowners take these functions for granted until they’re forced to do without them. If your air conditioning has ever malfunctioned on a sweltering summer day, or the furnace can’t generate enough heat during a blizzard, you understand what this is like firsthand.

No homeowner wants 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, conditioned air when you need it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes into play. Like receiving an oil change for your car, consistent tune-ups are essential for keeping your HVAC system in good shape. And to get every benefit from each maintenance visit, you should look into enrolling in an HVAC maintenance contract.

This contract is an arrangement between you and an HVAC contractor. Participation takes the guessing 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 schedule 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 it’s easy to forget about requesting 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 unsure of why HVAC maintenance is so beneficial, consider these benefits:

• Expose smaller problems early on: Issues with your home comfort system usually develop little by little. When a technician checks the internal components each year, it’s possible to find and resolve smaller problems before they become big headaches.
• Reduce the risk of unexpected shutdowns: By fixing that loose fan belt and stabilizing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance call, the chance of an unexpected breakdown decreases.
• Lower repair costs: Planned HVAC maintenance is an affordable, foreseeable amount that eliminates the need for numerous major repairs.
• Enhance energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that annual maintenance can increase HVAC efficiency by up to 30%, bringing down your heating and cooling bills simultaneously.

• Boost home comfort: When your HVAC system functions the way it should, airflow improves for consistent 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 versus a neglected one, saving you on untimely replacement expenses.
• Ensure safety: An equipment and safety inspection during every visit offers peace of mind that your home comfort system is performing like it’s supposed to.
• Adhere to your warranty: The majority of HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance so much that they necessitate once-a-year tune-ups to keep your warranty in good standing. Investing a little in maintenance now safeguards you from pricey repairs that your warranty would otherwise cover.

2. Priority Service

Having an HVAC maintenance agreement puts you at the front of the line when you schedule an emergency repair. You can typically expect 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 HVAC system? An HVAC contract gives you access to the fastest installs possible, even during the busiest times of year.

4. Discounted Repairs and Services

Preventive maintenance decreases the need for repair calls, but if your system needs some TLC, having an HVAC maintenance agreement 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. Repair Guarantee

How can you know 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 unhappy, the technician will return to set things right.
