The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC system is essential to a comfortable home and healthy indoor air. The furnace and air conditioner work hard in the background, heating, cooling, regulating the humidity and filtering your home’s indoor air. A lot of homeowners take these functions for granted until they’re suddenly left without them. If your AC has ever malfunctioned on a scorching summer day, or the furnace can’t generate enough heat during a blizzard, you understand what this is like firsthand.

No homeowner wishes to deal with emergency repairs, higher energy bills or problems with their sense of comfort. What if you had a way to maintain a constant source of healthy, conditioned air when you want it most?

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

This agreement is an arrangement between you and the HVAC contractor. Your membership takes the guessing out of HVAC service by delivering routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled service calls and other advantages. An HVAC maintenance contract isn’t required to request tune-ups with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, but we highly encourage enrolling. Here are six reasons why.

1. Automatic Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance

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

• Expose smaller problems right away: Issues with your heating and cooling tend to develop little by little. When a technician inspects the internal components once a year, it’s possible to pinpoint and fix small problems before they become big headaches.
• Reduce the risk of unexpected shutdowns: By securing that loose fan belt and evening out the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance appointment, the risk of an unexpected breakdown decreases.
• Smaller repair costs: Scheduled HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable cost that reduces the need for many major repairs.
• Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that annual maintenance can enhance HVAC efficiency by close to 30%, reducing your heating and cooling bills in the process.

• Boost home comfort: When your heating and cooling system operates the way it should, airflow improves for even temperatures and more comfortable humidity throughout the house.
• Extend the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can last years longer versus a neglected one, saving you on early replacement expenses.
• Guarantee safety: An equipment and safety evaluation during each visit offers peace of mind that your home comfort system is working like it’s supposed to.
• Protect your warranty: The bulk of HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance to such a degree that they require annual tune-ups to keep your warranty valid. Investing a little in upkeep now protects you from expensive repairs that your warranty would otherwise 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 typically expect 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 busiest weeks.

4. Discount on Repairs and Services

Preventive maintenance reduces the need for repair calls, but if your system needs some TLC, having an HVAC maintenance contract provides a 15% discount. You’ll also receive 15% off indoor air quality products, like 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 work leaves you unhappy, our technician will return to set things right.
