The Benefits of HVAC Maintenance Agreements

During a maintenance visit, our technicians perform a thorough inspection and tune-up to address small issues before they can escalate into major problems. This proactive approach to system maintenance is crucial for several reasons:

  • Improved Energy Efficiency: A tuned-up system uses less energy, saving you money on monthly utility bills.
  • Longer Equipment Lifespan: By keeping your furnace, ductless mini-split, or air conditioner in top condition, you can delay the need for a costly replacement.
  • Enhanced Reliability and Fewer Breakdowns: Small issues are caught early to prevent major repairs down the road.
  • Safety and Peace of Mind: For homes with gas furnaces, our technicians inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, check for proper ventilation, and test for carbon monoxide leaks to enhance safety.

HVAC Service Contract FAQs

What is an HVAC service agreement?

An HVAC service contract is a plan where you pay an annual fee to have a professional technician perform scheduled preventative maintenance on your heating and air conditioning systems. It also includes benefits like discounts and priority service.

Is a Service Agreement really worth the cost?

When you consider the savings on energy bills, the reduced likelihood of costly emergency repairs, the included discounts, and the extended lifespan of your equipment, a heating and A/C maintenance contract is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home.

What should I do between HVAC maintenance appointments?

You can take several steps to ensure your heating and cooling systems run smoothly between the routine appointments offered in your HVAC service agreement. Our Lewes professionals recommend the following steps:

  • Regularly replace or clean your air filters to maintain good air quality and system efficiency.
  • Keep the area around your units clean and free from debris to promote proper airflow.
  • Install a programmable thermostat to optimize temperature settings and reduce energy consumption.
  • Pay attention to any unusual noises or performance issues and address them promptly to prevent further damage.
  • Seal any gaps or leaks in your home’s insulation and ductwork to enhance energy efficiency.

My HVAC system is brand new. Do I still need a service agreement?

Yes! In fact, this is the best time to sign up for a new HVAC maintenance contract. These agreements protect your new investment, ensure it operates at peak efficiency from day one, and keep your manufacturer’s warranty intact.

Are the costs of replacement parts included in the agreement fee?

The annual agreement fee covers the comprehensive tune-ups themselves. Any replacement parts needed for a repair are not included in the fee, but our Service Agreement customers receive a 15% discount on those parts and the labor to install them.
