The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC system is the key to a comfortable home and high air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work around the clock in the background, heating, cooling, regulating the humidity and filtering your indoor air. A lot of homeowners take this functionality for granted until they’re forced to do without them. If your air conditioning has ever malfunctioned on a scorching summer day, or the furnace has stopped working during a blizzard, you can understand what this is like firsthand.

No homeowner likes to deal with emergency repairs, a spike in energy bills or problems with their sense of comfort. What if there was a way to maintain a constant source of clean, climate controlled air when you want it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in. Like obtaining an oil change for your car, routine tune-ups are vital for keeping your HVAC system running at its best. And to get every benefit from each maintenance visit, you should think about enrolling in an HVAC maintenance contract.

This contract is an arrangement between you and the HVAC contractor. Membership 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 isn’t mandatory to request tune-ups with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, but we highly encourage signing up. Here are six reasons why.

1. Automatic Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance

Life gets busier, so it’s easy to forget about requesting furnace maintenance in 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 important, take a look at these benefits:

• Expose smaller problems early on: Issues with your HVAC equipment often form slowly. When a technician checks the internal components each year, it’s possible to find and take care of small problems before they become big headaches.
• Decrease the risk of unexpected shutdowns: By securing that loose fan belt and balancing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance call, the risk of a mid-season breakdown diminishes.
• Smaller repair costs: Scheduled HVAC maintenance is an affordable, foreseeable expense that reduces the need for many major repairs.
• Increase energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that yearly maintenance can enhance HVAC efficiency by up to 30%, bringing down your heating and cooling bills simultaneously.

• Encourage home comfort: When your heating and cooling system operates the way it is supposed to, airflow improves for consistent temperatures and more manageable humidity in your home.
• 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 premature replacement expenses.
• Ensure safety: An equipment and safety evaluation during every visit delivers peace of mind that your HVAC system is running as intended.
• Maintain your warranty: The majority of HVAC manufacturers value preventive maintenance so much that they necessitate once-a-year tune-ups to keep your warranty in good standing. Investing a little in upkeep now safeguards you from pricey repairs that your warranty will cover.

2. Priority Service

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

3. Priority Install

Planning to replace your HVAC system? An HVAC contract allows access to the quickest installs feasible, even during the busiest times of year.

4. Marked Down Repairs and Services

Regular maintenance reduces the need for repair work, but if your system needs some TLC, having an HVAC maintenance contract provides a 15% discount. You’ll also have access to 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 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 final product leave you dissatisfied, your technician will return to set things right.
