The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your heating and cooling system is essential to a sense of comfort and high air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work around the clock in the background, heating, cooling, controlling 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 air conditioning has ever broken down on a scorching summer day, or the furnace has stopped working during a blizzard, you understand what this is like firsthand.

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

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in. Like getting an oil change for your car, regularly scheduled tune-ups are vital for keeping your HVAC system up and running. And to get the maximum from each maintenance visit, you should consider applying for an HVAC maintenance contract.

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

1. Automated Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance

Life gets busier, so it’s not hard to forget about setting up furnace maintenance in the fall and air conditioning maintenance in the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll receive scheduled reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re unsure of why HVAC maintenance is so worthwhile, take a look at these benefits:

• Expose smaller problems right away: Issues with your heating and cooling often form little by little. When a technician inspects the internal components once a year, it’s possible to pinpoint and fix little problems before they become big headaches.
• Reduce the risk of breakdowns: By tightening that loose fan belt and stabilizing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance appointment, the likelihood of an unexpected breakdown diminishes.
• Lower repair costs: Scheduled HVAC maintenance is an affordable, expected cost that eliminates the need for most major repairs.
• Enhance energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that once-a-year maintenance can increase HVAC efficiency by up to 30%, reducing your heating and cooling bills at the same time.

• Increase home comfort: When your HVAC system operates the way it is supposed to, airflow improves for even temperatures and more balanced humidity in every room.
• Prolong the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can survive for years longer versus a neglected one, saving you on premature replacement equipment.
• Provide safety: An equipment and safety inspection during every visit grants peace of mind that your home comfort system is performing as intended.
• Maintain your warranty: Most HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance so much that they require 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 should 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 usually expect same-day service—even during nights, weekends and holidays—thanks to 24/7/365 guaranteed priority service for members.

3. Priority Install

Thinking about replacing your home comfort system? An HVAC agreement grants access to the fastest installs available, even during the most hectic weeks.

4. Discount on Repairs and Services

Regular maintenance lowers the need for repair calls, but if your system needs some attention, having an HVAC maintenance contract entitles you to a 15% discount. You’ll also have access to 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 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 results leave you dissatisfied, our technician will return to make things right.
