The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC equipment is the key to a sense of comfort and indoor air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work hard in the background, heating, cooling, controlling the humidity and filtering your indoor air. A lot of homeowners take these functions for granted until they have to do without them. If your air conditioner has ever broken down on a sweltering summer day, or the furnace has stopped working during a blizzard, you know what this is like firsthand. 

No homeowner wants to deal with last minute repairs, high energy bills or home comfort problems. What if you had a way to ensure an uninterrupted supply of clean, conditioned air when you need it most? 

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes in handy. Like getting an oil change for your car, routine tune-ups are vital for keeping your HVAC system up and running. And to get every benefit from each maintenance visit, you should consider applying for an HVAC maintenance contract

This contract is an arrangement between you and a trusted HVAC contractor. Your membership takes the guessing out of HVAC service by delivering routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled service calls and other benefits. An HVAC maintenance contract isn’t required to schedule tune-ups with Chief/Bauer Service Experts, but we highly recommend signing up. Here are six reasons why. 

1. Automatic Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance 

Life gets busier, so it’s easy to forget about scheduling furnace maintenance in the fall and air conditioning maintenance in the spring. With an HVAC membership, you’ll receive friendly reminders to get an appointment on your calendar. If you’re unsure of why HVAC maintenance is so important, consider these benefits: 

  • Expose small problems right away: Issues with your home comfort system tend to develop slowly. When a technician checks the internal components once a year, it’s possible to find and fix small problems before they become big headaches. 
  • Reduce the risk of breakdowns: By tightening that loose fan belt and balancing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance appointment, the chance of an unexpected breakdown decreases. 
  • Lower repair costs: Planned HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable cost that minimizes the need for most major repairs. 
  • Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that annual maintenance can boost HVAC efficiency by close to 30%, lowering your heating and cooling bills in the process. 
  • Increase home comfort: When your home comfort system operates the way it should, airflow improves for even temperatures and more comfortable humidity in every room. 
  • Extend the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can last years longer than a neglected one, saving you on early replacement costs. 
  • Guarantee safety: An equipment and safety inspection during each visit offers peace of mind that your home comfort system is working as intended. 
  • Protect your warranty: Most HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance so much that they require annual tune-ups to keep your warranty valid. Investing a little in upkeep now protects you from expensive repairs that your warranty should cover. 

2. Priority Service 

Having an HVAC maintenance plan puts you at the front of the line when you request an emergency repair. You can typically count on same-day service—even on nights, weekends and holidays—thanks to 24/7/365 guaranteed priority service for members. 

3. Priority Install 

Planning to replace your home comfort system? An HVAC agreement gives you access to the most rapid installs possible, even during the busiest times of year. 

4. Discounted Repairs and Services 

Regular maintenance decreases the need for repair calls, but if your system needs some attention, having an HVAC maintenance contract entitles you to a 15% discount. You’ll also receive 15% off indoor air quality products, like pleated filters, whole-house humidifiers and charged media air cleaners. 

5. No Trip Charge 

Heating and cooling repairs are sometimes inevitable, but they can get expensive fast. Thankfully, with an HVAC membership, you’ll never pay trip charges or overtime fees, even for emergency and after-hour service calls. 

6. Repair Guarantee 

How can you be sure the technician has performed a job well done? Put your mind at ease with a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all repairs and installations for one year. If the results leave you unhappy, our technician will return to correct things.
