You've Heard About a Warranty, but How Does It Measure Up Against a Maintenance Agreement?If you’ve been taking proper care of your Los Angles’s home heating and cooling equipment, then your HVAC contractor likely visits your homes at least a few times a year. A qualified technician should be on hand to perform necessary preventative maintenance before the change in heating and cooling seasons, in addition to whenever you’re planning an upgrade, major repair, or installation.

Since you’ll likely already be contacting a contractor throughout the year, why not make the experience easier, more cost-effective, and worthwhile? This is exactly what a maintenance agreement does, as it goes beyond a warranty agreement to further protect your home and equipment. A warranty agreement typically only protects you from equipment design and manufacturing defects. It doesn’t cover problems that may occur even when you are operating your equipment properly.

6 reasons why you want an HVAC maintenance agreement:

  1. Free and easy reminders. Instead of constantly checking your calendar and making appointments yourself, with a maintenance agreement your contractor will reach out to you to schedule appointments at the right time.
  2. Priority service. During the peak seasons, contractors can get very busy, making it hard to get an appointment when you need it most. With an agreement, you get priority service against customers who aren’t a part of the plan.
  3. Better discounts. In exchange for your tie to a specific contractor, you’ll receive exceptional discounts on parts and service.
  4. Fewer breakdowns. Having your heating and cooling equipment annually inspected ensures that they are operate at their top performance during the heavy-use seasons. This results in fewer mid-season breakdowns and expensive (avoidable) repairs.
  5. Reduced utility bills. Properly taking care of your HVAC units ensures that they operate more energy efficiently. This can significantly reduce your monthly energy costs.
  6. Extended equipment lifespans. Annually serviced heating and cooling equipment ensures that sensitive components are kept in great operating condition. This can extend the lifespan of your equipment, allowing you to enjoy many years of benefits with your protected investment.
