The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your heating and cooling system is essential to home comfort and indoor air quality. The furnace and air conditioner work hard in the background, heating, cooling, managing the humidity and filtering your indoor air. Lots of homeowners take these functions for granted until they’re forced to do without them. If your air conditioner has ever broken down on a sweltering summer day, or the furnace has failed during a blizzard, you know what this is like firsthand. 

No homeowner wants to deal with emergency repairs, high energy bills or problems with their sense of comfort. What if there was a way to ensure an uninterrupted supply of clean, conditioned air when you need it most? 

That’s where preventive HVAC maintenance comes into play. Like getting an oil change for your car, consistent tune-ups are vital for keeping your HVAC system up and running. And to get the most from each maintenance visit, you should look into signing up for an HVAC maintenance contract. 

This contract is an arrangement between you and a trusted HVAC contractor. Your membership takes the uncertainty out of HVAC service by delivering routine maintenance, savings on repair work between scheduled visits and other benefits. An HVAC maintenance contract is not required to schedule tune-ups with Robinson Service Experts, but we highly endorse signing up. Here are six reasons why. 

1. Automatic Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance 

Life gets busier, so it’s easy to forget about requesting 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 unfamiliar with why HVAC maintenance is so important, consider these benefits: 

• Uncover small problems early: Issues with your home comfort system tend to develop little by little. When a technician inspects the internal components once a year, it’s possible to find and fix small problems before they become big headaches. 
• Lower the risk of equipment failures: By tightening that loose fan belt and stabilizing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance visit, the risk of a mid-season breakdown diminishes. 
• Lower repair costs: Planned HVAC maintenance is an affordable, expected amount that eliminates the need for most major repairs. 
• Improve energy efficiency: The Department of Energy estimates that annual maintenance can boost HVAC efficiency by up to 30%, lowering your heating and cooling bills in the process. 

• Boost home comfort: When your home comfort system operates the way it should, airflow improves for even temperatures and more comfortable humidity in your home. 
• Prolong the system’s life span: A clean, tuned-up, well-lubricated HVAC system can last years longer than a neglected one, saving you on untimely replacement costs. 
• Provide safety: An equipment and safety inspection during each visit offers peace of mind that your HVAC system is working as intended. 
• Protect your warranty: The majority of HVAC manufacturers prioritize preventive maintenance so much that they necessitate annual tune-ups to keep your warranty valid. Investing a little in upkeep now protects you from expensive repairs that your warranty will cover. 

2. Priority Service 

Having an HVAC maintenance contract puts you at the front of the line when you schedule an emergency repair. You can typically anticipate 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 contract 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 work, but if your system needs some professional 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 

HVAC 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 visits. 

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 dissatisfied, the technician will return to set things right.
