You’re probably a good candidate for a maintenance plan, especially if furnace maintenance completely slipped your mind this past fall or winter. It’s easy to forget about maintenance, particularly since HVAC equipment is generally out of sight, out of mind, until something goes wrong. But keeping your heating and cooling systems in good shape, and running efficiently, requires regular preventive maintenance service. And a maintenance plan ensures that you’ll continue to get all of the benefits that maintenance affords over the life of the system.
Planned maintenance is basically preventive maintenance. Most contractors offer service plans because they know how valuable maintenance is to ensuring your system’s efficiency and long life. And they will generally offer several perks in exchange when you agree to at least an annual plan.
At C.R. Wolfe Heating & Air Conditioning, our planned service includes:
- An option to select one scheduled seasonal tune-up, good for homeowners who don’t have central A/C
- Plans that offer two seasonal tune-ups, for both the furnace and A/C or heat pump.
- A 10 percent discount for repairs, applied to parts, if they’re necessary
- Priority service, as we’ll schedule your appointment ahead of non-service customers
It may seem costly to pay upfront for scheduled tune-ups, but it’s a wise investment for several reasons:
- Contractors often provide the planned service at a lower cost than if you were to purchase tune-ups separately.
- Intentionally investing in your HVAC equipment will help you maximize your investment in it.
- Routine maintenance will help you to avoid unnecessary repairs due to wear and tear.
- Servicing the equipment will extend its life span.
- When your equipment is cleaned, inspected and fine-tuned regularly, it will operate at peak capacity.
- You’ll lock in lower energy savings when you’re system runs efficiently.
- Further, most manufacturers require that you show evidence of regular service, if you want to act on your warranty. At C.R. Wolfe, we keep precise service records for this purpose.
