This is Why HVAC Maintenance Contracts are Beneficial

Routine maintenance is vital to keep your HVAC system running reliably and efficiently, but it’s easy to put off or forget about scheduling preventive care. Signing a yearly maintenance contract with a reputable HVAC contractor is the easiest way to ensure that your heating and cooling equipment stays in optimal operating condition. In addition to the convenience of regular reminders about scheduling service visits, maintenance contracts offer other benefits too, including:

• Improved efficiency — HVAC equipment that’s not maintained regularly can lose up to five percent of its energy efficiency each year. With the routine preventive care that’s included under a maintenance contract, your equipment stays at peak efficiency, and this helps you save money on your heating and cooling costs all year long.
• Fewer big repair bills — An annual maintenance visit also gives your HVAC technician an opportunity to find any emerging issues so you can have them taken care before they develop into more serious problems that require expensive repairs.
• Greater reliability — The care your equipment receives under a maintenance contract ensures that it stays in good working condition so there’s less chance of an unexpected problem cropping up at the peak of the season when it’s under the greatest strain.
• Longer equipment lifespan — Just like any other type of mechanical equipment, your HVAC system components will last longer if they’re well cared for. With proper maintenance, you can expect your heat pump, air conditioner or furnace to provide many years of reliable service, and it may even exceed its expected lifespan.
• Manufacturer’s warranty compliance — If a component fails while it’s still under warranty, your equipment manufacturer will want to see documented proof that you’ve kept up with timely maintenance before approving your claim.
• Peace of mind — When you have a maintenance contract, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that when problems do crop up, a trusted HVAC professional is standing by to give you prompt customer service, an accurate diagnosis and expert repairs.
