A maintenance agreement for your heating and cooling system assures you that your equipment stays in the best condition it can, which cuts your energy bills and prolongs its lifetime. HVAC systems have many different parts that need to work together precisely to provide the dependable comfort you need indoors.
The benefits these agreements provide include:
- Regular maintenance visits. It’s easy to forget the HVAC system because it’s largely out of sight, but the scheduled maintenance that these agreements carry makes it simpler to stay current on the seasonal service HVAC systems require.
- Precise record keeping. When you use one HVAC contractor consistently, you’ll have accurate records of the condition of the unit from each visit. These records simplify any troubleshooting your system may need in the future. A maintenance agreement keeps warranties active, since many HVAC manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep a warranty active.
- Improved energy efficiency. Because HVAC systems have moving parts, vibrations that are part of normal operation can loosen them. Dust and dirt that accumulate on the outdoor condenser and the indoor blower compartment also decrease the system’s efficiency. When it’s thoroughly cleaned on a schedule, the parts will be tightened and lubricated. Technicians clean all the components to improve their running efficiency and check the refrigerant level. A heat pump or air conditioner that runs with too little or too much refrigerant loses efficiency and lays the groundwork for early component failure.
- Fewer breakdowns. A well-cared-for system is far less likely to break down unexpectedly and prevents costly repairs. When the equipment is kept clean and adjusted, there’s less wear on all its parts. Routine maintenance also prevents small issues from becoming larger, more expensive problems later.
- Easier home sale. When you’re ready to sell your home, potential buyers are likely to want to see the maintenance records. An efficient and well-maintained HVAC system is a strong selling point for many buyers.
