A certified HVAC technician must perform regular maintenance service to ensure that your HVAC system stays in tip-top condition. Your heating system needs service in the fall and your cooling system in the spring. One of the best investments you can make for your HVAC system is to join a maintenance program.
What Is an HVAC Maintenance Plan?
HVAC contractors offer HVAC maintenance plans to ensure an HVAC system receives the maintenance needed to function optimally. Each plan typically includes scheduled maintenance visits for the spring and fall, during which an HVAC technician will inspect, clean, test, and service all the components inside your heating or cooling system. This maintenance plan aims to ensure that your heating and cooling systems are operating at their peak efficiency level.
1. Discounted Rates
One of the most significant benefits of investing in an HVAC maintenance plan is that you enjoy a discounted price on maintenance service. Most HVAC contractors will offer a discount when you join their plan because they know they will be guaranteed service over other HVAC contractors. Some maintenance plans will even include a discounted rate on repair service if you experience a breakdown at any point.
2. Never Forget To Get Maintenance Service
Because HVAC maintenance is only done a couple of times a year, it can be easy to forget. Unfortunately, most HVAC manufacturers require you to get annual maintenance, or they’ll void the remaining warranty on your system. When you sign up for a maintenance plan, you don’t have to worry about getting service, as your HVAC contractor will call you to schedule your necessary maintenance service. This is a great way to help ensure you never forget to have your HVAC system serviced.
3. Prolong HVAC System Lifespan
Just like any other appliance in your home, regular maintenance for your HVAC system will make a big difference in its overall lifespan. When all the internal components receive the care they need, they’re much less likely to break down and lead to major system damage. With home heating and cooling systems being quite expensive for the average homeowner, it only makes sense to do everything possible to get as much out of your investment as possible.
4. Cheaper Utility Bills
When temperatures outside reach their extremes, your HVAC system constantly runs to keep up with your comfort needs. Having a well-functioning HVAC system that’s properly serviced can make a massive difference in its overall operating efficiency. If you compare the performance of an HVAC system serviced with one that wasn’t, the one receiving service will be much more energy efficient. This will lead to lower utility bills throughout the worst temperature extremes.
5. Reduced Breakdown Risk
Probably one of the best reasons to invest in an HVAC maintenance plan is that it will help to greatly reduce your risk of experiencing a breakdown. During your maintenance appointments, our technicians will evaluate your entire system and identify any areas of worn-out parts or malfunctioning components. This will allow us to catch issues while they’re small and easy to fix.
6. Priority Scheduling
Another benefit of an HVAC maintenance plan that many providers will offer is priority repair service. If your HVAC system happens to break down, you typically get service before other homeowners with a malfunctioning HVAC system who aren’t part of a maintenance plan. This can go a long way in minimizing your discomfort and help to ensure that your HVAC system receives swift repair service when necessary.
7. Peace of Mind
An HVAC maintenance plan is a great way to have peace of mind about your HVAC system’s functioning. You don’t have to worry about remembering to schedule maintenance service, and you don’t have to worry about whether your system will break down or even make it through the upcoming season. Having a professional assess your HVAC system can put your mind at ease.
8. Ensures System Safety
Relying on fuel like natural gas, heating oil, or propane to create heat for your home is standard. Unfortunately, when all these fuels are burned, they produce toxic emissions. Typically, these emissions are vented via your chimney to the outdoors, where they can disperse into the air. However, if there’s a problem with your heating system, the toxic emissions may back up inside your home.
This can be very dangerous for you and your family and can even be lethal in some instances. When you invest in a maintenance plan for your heating system to be serviced every fall, our technician will test to ensure that no toxic fumes are being produced inside your home. This will ensure the utmost safety for you and your family.
9. Increases Home Value
If you plan on reselling your home at any point in the future, it’s important to be mindful of the care that all of your appliances receive. When you get regular maintenance service for your HVAC system because you’re part of a maintenance plan, it shows home buyers that you’re taking care of the appliances. Home buyers are likely to pay more for a home they know the appliances have been kept up with than one where a homeowner doesn’t service their systems.
10. Better Indoor Air Quality
One lesser-known benefit of being part of an HVAC maintenance plan is that it helps enhance the air quality inside your home. When one of our technicians services your system, they will ensure that all the internal components are adequately cleaned. Additionally, during their evaluation of your system, they’ll be on the lookout for any signs of mold or mildew growth. It doesn’t matter whether it’s inside your ductwork or your HVAC system. They will let you know about the problem so that you can have it fixed before it drastically reduces your indoor air quality level.
11. Allows You To Be More Eco-Friendly
Another benefit of joining an HVAC maintenance plan that is commonly overlooked is that it allows you to be more eco-friendly with your energy consumption. Nowadays, many of us are looking to do our part in reducing our energy usage to help promote a better living environment for all.
When your heating or cooling system is serviced regularly, you can be assured that it’s operating at its peak efficiency level and not wasting any excess energy. In fact, the Department of Energy has estimated that HVAC systems that don’t receive proper maintenance service can use up to 30% more energy than those that do.
12. Other Maintenance Plan Benefits
