The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC equipment is the key to home comfort and healthy indoor air. The furnace and air conditioner work hard in the background, heating, cooling, managing the humidity and filtering your indoor air. A lot of homeowners take these functions for granted until they’re suddenly left without them. If your air conditioning has ever broken down on a sweltering summer day, or the furnace has stopped working during a blizzard, you know what this is like firsthand. 

No homeowner wants to deal with urgent repairs, higher energy bills or home comfort problems. What if there was a way to maintain an uninterrupted supply of clean, conditioned air when you need it most? 

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes into play. Like getting an oil change for your car, routine tune-ups are vital for keeping your HVAC system up and running. And to get the maximum from each maintenance visit, you should look into signing up for an HVAC maintenance contract. 

This contract is an arrangement between you and the HVAC contractor. Membership takes the guessing out of HVAC service by delivering routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled appointments and other advantages. An HVAC maintenance contract is not required to schedule tune-ups with Teays Valley Service Experts, but we highly encourage signing up. Here are six reasons why. 

1. Automatic Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance 

Life gets busy, so it’s not hard to forget about scheduling furnace maintenance in the fall and air conditioning maintenance in the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll receive friendly reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re unfamiliar with why HVAC maintenance is so important, consider these benefits: 

• Uncover minor problems early: Issues with your home comfort system tend to develop slowly. When a technician inspects the internal components once a year, it’s possible to find and fix small problems before they become big headaches. 
• Decrease the risk of breakdowns: By tightening that loose fan belt and evening out the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance visit, the likelihood of a mid-season breakdown decreases. 
• Lower repair costs: Scheduled HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable expense that minimizes the need for most major repairs. 
• Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that annual maintenance can enhance HVAC efficiency by as high as 30%, lowering your heating and cooling bills in the process. 

• Boost home comfort: When your home comfort system operates the way it should, airflow improves for even temperatures and more comfortable humidity in your home. 
• Prolong 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. 
• Guarantee safety: An equipment and safety assessment during each visit offers peace of mind that your heating and cooling system is working as intended. 
• Protect your warranty: The majority of HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance so much that they require annual tune-ups to keep your warranty valid. Investing a little in upkeep now protects you from pricey repairs that your warranty should cover. 

2. Priority Service 

Having an HVAC maintenance plan puts you at the front of the line when you schedule an emergency repair. You can typically anticipate same-day service—even on 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 gives you access to the most rapid installs feasible, even during the most hectic weeks. 

4. Discounted Repairs and Services 

Regular maintenance reduces the need for repair work, but if your system needs some professional attention, having an HVAC maintenance contract 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. No Trip Charge 

Heating and cooling repairs are occasionally inevitable, but they can get costly fast. Thankfully, with an HVAC membership, you’ll never pay trip charges or overtime fees, even for emergency and after-hour appointments. 

6. Repair Guarantee 

How can you be sure 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 work leaves you unhappy, the technician will return to set things right.
