For many people, it’s not so difficult to remember to keep a vehicle maintained. After an oil change, a mechanic may leave a sticker behind in your car reminding you of the next recommended date of service, or you may even have dashboard alerts reminding you to schedule service. Besides, you don’t want to be driving around in a vehicle if you don’t know it is safe.

The same should be true for an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system—but we know it’s easy to forget. The HVAC systems are hidden from view, after all, but there’s an easy way to make sure they get the service they need. When you join a maintenance plan, you can even save money on this valuable service!

What Is an HVAC Maintenance Plan?

HVAC maintenance involves tuning up and inspecting your heating and air conditioning equipment so that it can run more smoothly and efficiently. When you enter into an HVAC maintenance plan, you arrange for maintenance to be done regularly, usually twice a year, for a set annual price (or monthly payment plan).

No longer do you have to worry about remembering maintenance, as the company will likely reach out to you to schedule your prepaid appointment. In addition, you form a relationship with the company so you have someone to reach out to in an emergency and can get special deals on service.

How Do You Save?

So why enter into a maintenance contract in the first place? More specifically, how can it help you to save money?

• Cost of maintenance: When you join a maintenance program, the overall cost of service tends to be less than if you scheduled furnace and AC services twice a year. In other words, in exchange for your loyalty to the company, your contractor cuts you a deal!
• Repairs: When you get maintenance done for each of your systems twice a year, they are not likely to need many repairs throughout their lifespan. It is possible that, during an inspection, a technician will let you know that a part needs repair or replacement ASAP. However, it’s better to do this now than to wait until a system breaks down and needs emergency service!
• Energy: Finally, regular service can help you cut down on your energy bills. Systems that receive regular maintenance can retain about 95% of their original efficiency throughout their lifespans.

What Should You Look for in a Contractor?

Finding a contractor you can trust for maintenance is one of the most difficult parts. Of course, you’ll want to find someone who actually offers a maintenance program, rather than just one-off appointments. In addition, you should look for someone who gets good reviews and services all the systems you need.
