Your HVAC system works tirelessly to keep your home and family comfortable year-round. It makes it easy to neglect the system when it is working as it should. However, even the best of systems can breakdown. Losing heat or air conditioning on a day you need it the most is not desirable.
Want it handled on a schedule? See our HVAC maintenance service in Los Angeles for plan pricing and what each visit includes.
An HVAC maintenance contract is a long-term service agreement, where you do not have to wait until your system stops working to call for service. Instead, your equipment is routinely inspected before you need urgent repairs. Contracts vary between companies and HVAC systems but, in general, you can choose between options that best fit your needs and budget.
Most HVAC maintenance contracts include routine tune-ups, filter replacements, coil cleaning, lubrication, and appointment reminders. In this article we discuss the benefits of an HVAC maintenance contract.
Fewer Emergencies
Having your HVAC system routinely maintained can greatly reduce the probability of emergency HVAC repairs. It is best to perform preventative maintenance rather than reactive maintenance and repairs. Most untimely breakdowns are due to a lack of routine maintenance. Mechanical issues can cause extensive damage the longer they go unfixed. When your system is properly cared for, issues are more likely to be caught early before they become costly repairs.
Greater Energy Efficiency
Routine maintenance will help your HVAC system run more efficiently all year resulting in lower energy bills. Older systems especially consume more energy due to general wear and tear. With an HVAC maintenance contract, you do not have to worry about having clogged air filters and a system struggling to keep your home comfortable. Routine maintenance can slow down the process of wear and tear from an overworked system.
Longer Equipment Lifespan
A properly maintained HVAC system not only runs more efficiently, but also increases equipment lifespan. You will be able to get maximum use out of your system without having to replace it before the end of its life expectancy. With raising equipment replacement costs, it is in your best interest to take care of your system to keep it running properly and efficiently for as long as possible.
Priority Service
Nothing could be worse than having to be without your HVAC system when you really need it. In seasons when there is a high demand for HVAC repair due to extreme weather such heatwaves or low temperatures, homeowners who have an HVAC maintenance contract will benefit from priority service. Meaning if there is a problem with their HVAC system and they have a maintenance contract they will be moved up ahead of customers who do not have a maintenance contract. Check with your HVAC maintenance company if this is a standard or added feature before signing contract.
Repair Discounts
The cost of repairs varies widely depending on the HVAC repair your system requires. Our HVAC maintenance contracts include a discount on repairs. Having an additional discount could help in the case of a costly repair.
Maintain Equipment Warranty
Most manufacturers’ warranties require routine professional maintenance. With an HVAC maintenance contract you do not have to worry about violating or potentially voiding warranty terms by neglecting to schedule routine HVAC maintenance.
Higher Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air can sometimes be more polluted than outdoor air. With an HVAC Maintenance contract, you can have peace of mind that your filters are changed on time maximizing the air quality in your home. This is especially important if you have anyone in your home who suffers from respiratory ailments such as asthma or allergies.
Contact LA Heating & Air
Your home should be safe and comfortable year-round and fortunately, it does not have to be a headache. Signing up for an HVAC maintenance contract can make it easy and affordable to protect your HVAC equipment and prolong its life. If you sign up, we will contact you to schedule an appointment before seasonal rushes that occur in summer and winter.
You can enjoy the peace of mind knowing your HVAC equipment is ready before the weather changes with each season. Call us or contact us online today, we are here ready to help you!
