The Top Six Reasons to Enroll in an HVAC Maintenance Contract 

Your HVAC system is vital to home 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. Many homeowners take these functions for granted until they’re suddenly left 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 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, regularly scheduled 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 plan is an arrangement between you and an HVAC contractor. Participation takes the guesswork 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 Rolf Griffin Service Experts, but we highly endorse signing up. Here are six reasons why. 

1. Automatic Reminders to Schedule HVAC Maintenance 

Life gets busy, 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 not sure why HVAC maintenance is so important, consider these benefits: 

• Uncover small problems early: Issues with your home comfort system tend to develop slowly. 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 breakdowns: By tightening that loose fan belt and balancing the off-kilter blower motor during a maintenance visit, the chance of an unexpected breakdown decreases. 
• Lower repair costs: Routine HVAC maintenance is an affordable, predictable cost 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. 

• 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 equipment. 
• Ensure safety: An equipment and safety evaluation during each visit offers peace of mind that your heating and cooling 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 costly repairs that your warranty would otherwise 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 expect 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 quickest installs possible, even during the most hectic weeks. 

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, such as pleated filters, whole-house humidifiers and charged media air cleaners. 

5. No Trip Charge 

Heating and cooling repairs are sometimes unavoidable, but they can get costly 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 final product leave you dissatisfied, our technician will return to correct things.
