Committing to a maintenance agreement with a trusted HVAC contractor offers tangible financial and personal benefits. The goal of maintenance is to keep the equipment operating as closely to the manufacturer’s specifications, which increases its lifetime and lowers energy consumption.
- Provides convenience. The contractor partner schedules the maintenance visits when they’re needed. The company keeps track of your address, phone number and email address, which saves you a lot of time and effort. They’ll contact you directly when it’s time to set your next appointment.
- Saves money. Routine maintenance helps you avoid unnecessary part failure, saving you a good deal of money. A dirty heat exchanger in the furnace or a clogged evaporator coil inside the air handler for the air conditioner can cause catastrophic system failures and expensive repairs. Having someone thoroughly inspect and clean your system keeps both of these parts clean and operating efficiently.
- Maintain warranty. If you have a manufacturer’s or an extended warranty, its validity may depend on routine professional maintenance. The costs of parts inside an HVAC system and the labor associated with repair work make having a maintenance agreement solid insurance for loss of warranty protection.
- Increase dependability. Whether it’s the depths of a cold spell or a heat wave, knowing you can count on your HVAC system when it’s running continuously. Breakdowns tend to occur when this equipment is working overtime, and knowing that it’s been fully maintained.
- Centralize records. Keeping a written history of the performance of your HVAC system might seem too time-consuming, but it’s part of having maintenance agreements with an HVAC provider. They’ll have all the records of your system and the work completed to keep it running smoothly.These records come in handy when you sell your home and the prospective buyer or the Realtor asks for them, or helping the technician troubleshoot a mechanical problem with the equipment.
A maintenance agreement keeps your system operating at its best, which keeps more energy dollars in your pocket. For more information, contact Ace Hardware Home Services, providing trusted HVAC services for Dayton area homeowners.
