If you\u2019re like most people, you called a technician because something was wrong with your heating or cooling equipment, and you probably only do this every few years. Yet most technicians recommend servicing your equipment once or twice a year.<\/p>\n<p>Regular HVAC maintenance helps to keep your equipment running smoothly and it can reduce the cost of operation. Your equipment may even last longer than expected, but you have to keep up with annual maintenance sessions. What\u2019s the best way to do this? An HVAC maintenance program from a local technician.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What It Is<\/h2>\n<p>An HVAC maintenance program is an agreement you enter into with your contractor. You agree to receive annual service for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The agreement will specify whether you pay monthly, annually, or through some other plan.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, a representative will call you to arrange service, so that you don\u2019t have to worry about forgetting this important step! You\u2019re guaranteed one or two visits per year (plus any additional specified benefits) as long as you keep making payments.<\/p>\n<h2>Why It\u2019s Important<\/h2>\n<p>Most technicians recommend that you have maintenance performed on your HVAC systems once or twice per year (along with monthly filter changes). This is important for many reasons.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An inspection ensures equipment operates safely.<\/li>\n<li>You can have repairs caught and completed sooner, so they don\u2019t come up in the middle of summer or winter.<\/li>\n<li>Maintenance includes a tune-up that may improve system performance.<\/li>\n<li>Systems that receive regular maintenance tend to be highly efficient.<\/li>\n<li>Systems that receive regular maintenance may last longer than those that do not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who Needs It<\/h2>\n<p>This service is not just for heating equipment that\u2019s 10 years old or older. Even a one-year-old heating system can benefit from routine maintenance. In fact, some warranties are void if you do not schedule this service every 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>Heating equipment that receives regular service tends to last years longer than those that do not, but that means you have to schedule this service every year! It also helps to keep your home safe. That\u2019s why a maintenance program is important for any homeowner with central heating and air conditioning. It ensures you never skip a session.<\/p>\n<h2>How You Benefit<\/h2>\n<p>There are so many ways you benefit from joining a maintenance program. We\u2019ve listed many of the benefits of each maintenance service above (better efficiency, system performance, safety, etc.). But the specific benefits of joining a maintenance program, rather than paying for each service individually, are more than this.<\/p>\n<p>Most companies give you priority customer status as a thank you for joining their service. That means that you\u2019re the first priority when the lines are busy on a cold day when everyone in town needs service\u201424 hours a day with our plan.
