This month spring will officially… well, spring. So, those lower temperatures we’ve had throughout winter will soon be a thing of the past. From now until September – maybe even October – the only cool air we’ll be experiencing will come from our air conditioners. The last thing we’ll want is for that essential system to fail when we need it most. The best way to ensure this won’t happen is to have it professionally serviced regularly – and the best, most cost-effective way to do that is with a maintenance plan.
Wait… my A/C is newer…
Look, our goal isn’t to make you paranoid to think that your cooling system could break any time you use it. Maintenance is a crucial responsibility. If you bought your house new, or your home has a new HVAC system, it’s easy to assume it’s good to go with minimal upkeep. After all, it’s not giving you any problems and you change the air filter regularly, so you should be able to go for years without any troubles, right?
Well, not necessarily.
There’s a reason manufacturers recommend professional maintenance. In fact, many require proof of a maintenance plan to keep your warranty valid. That’s because even new cooling systems can break down, especially if you’re not as diligent about maintenance as you should be. And, if you have a warranty, you’ll still go some time in discomfort until it can be repaired. For those older units, unexpected issues can cost you money over time as your HVAC loses efficiency. Likewise, the overdue work on your A/C can be a replacement verses a repair situation if you’ve waited too long.
That’s when maintenance plans come in.
An HVAC maintenance plan ensures your cooling system receives the dedicated care it needs each year to:
- Run smoothly
- Provide better comfort
- Improve performance
- Extend system life
- Maintain warranty coverage
- Prevent expensive breakdowns
