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 around the clock in the background, heating, cooling, managing the humidity and filtering your home’s indoor air. Lots of homeowners take this functionality for granted until they’re suddenly left without them. If your air conditioning has ever broken down on a blistering summer day, or the furnace can’t generate enough heat during a blizzard, you can understand what this is like firsthand.

No homeowner likes to deal with emergency repairs, higher energy bills or home comfort problems. What if there was a way to guarantee a constant supply of healthy, climate controlled air when you need it most?

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in handy. Like obtaining an oil change for your car, routine tune-ups are essential for keeping your HVAC system in good shape. And to get the most from each maintenance visit, you should look into enrolling in an HVAC maintenance contract.

This contract is an arrangement between you and a trusted HVAC contractor. Membership takes the guesswork out of HVAC service by providing routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled appointments and other advantages. An HVAC maintenance contract isn’t required to ask for 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 hectic, so it’s easy to forget about setting up furnace maintenance in the fall and air conditioning maintenance before the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll receive scheduled reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re unfamiliar with why HVAC maintenance is so beneficial, check out these benefits:

• Expose smaller problems early: Issues with your home comfort system tend to progress little by little. When a technician inspects the internal components once a year, it’s possible to pinpoint and fix smaller problems before they become big headaches.
• Lower the risk of breakdowns: By securing that loose fan belt and stabilizing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance visit, the chance of a sudden breakdown diminishes.
• Saving on repair costs: Routine HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable amount that reduces the need for most major repairs.
• Enhance energy efficiency: The Department of Energy reports that once-a-year maintenance can boost HVAC efficiency by close to 30%, lowering your heating and cooling bills at the same time.

• Encourage home comfort: When your home comfort system operates the way it is supposed to, airflow improves for consistent temperatures and more manageable humidity throughout the house.
• Extend the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can survive for years longer compared to a neglected one, saving you on premature replacement expenses.
• Ensure safety: An equipment and safety assessment during every visit offers peace of mind that your HVAC system is performing like it’s supposed to.
• Adhere to 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 safeguards you from costly repairs that your warranty would otherwise cover.

2. Priority Service

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

3. Priority Install

Planning on replacing your HVAC system? An HVAC agreement gives you access to the fastest installs possible, even during the most hectic weeks.

4. Marked Down Repairs and Services

Regular maintenance decreases the need for repair calls, but if your system needs some professional attention, having an HVAC maintenance contract provides a 15% discount. You’ll also enjoy 15% off indoor air quality products, such as pleated filters, whole-house humidifiers and charged media air cleaners.

5. Repair Guarantee

How can you ensure 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 disappointed, our technician will return to make things right.
