Keeping a comfortable, energy-efficient home is a year-long commitment–but the good news is that the task is simple enough to achieve. You just need to focus on home components that see a lot of use or consume a significant amount of energy. Your heating and cooling system fits both of these categories, so you’ll want to make sure it’s always in good condition. This is where professional heating and AC maintenance comes in.
Any performance issues with your system will translate to increased energy costs and expensive repairs. Fortunately, there are HVAC service contracts that can help you avoid this. Before signing up for one, however, you need to learn more about it. Here premier HVAC technician, Cool Zone Air Conditioning & Heating, shares what details should be included in a good HVAC service contract.
Components to be serviced
You might want to brush up on common HVAC terms, so you have a clearer idea of which parts are going to be serviced. If there’s something you think shouldn’t be included, or you want work done on a part that’s not covered by the contract, you should discuss it with your choice of HVAC company. They may have their reasons for the inclusion of those particular parts to be serviced. It’s a good idea to clear this up before signing anything.
Number of visits
This factor may vary based on the HVAC technician you hire. Some service contracts offer an annual maintenance visit, while others recommend a visit twice a year. There are even ones that advise a maintenance check-up every three months. Your HVAC expert should go over the number of visits detailed in the contract with you, as well as the reasons why they’re recommending that particular number.
Tasks to be performed
In a heating and AC maintenance contract, the technician will usually:
Change the air filter.
Assess the condition and function of the thermostat.
Lubricate some HVAC components for smoother operation.
Evaluate the fan.
Check for wear and tear on the system.
Inspect the electrical connections.
Look for possible leaks in the ductwork.
Top off the refrigerant.
Look into the condition of the outdoor HVAC unit.
If you own a particular HVAC model, additional tasks may be performed. You’ll want to make sure your choice of the technician is familiar and has already worked with that specific brand or model.
Scheduling.
Once you find out how many visits per year are included in the service contract, you should learn how the visits will be scheduled. Will it be automatic, or do you have to call and schedule the visit when you’re ready? You’ll want to be on the same page with your HVAC technician to avoid issues with service completion.
Payment terms
Double-check the payment details. Determine how and when payments for the HVAC service will be made. Will the service be financed, or will you need to pay the full amount within a specific time frame? Given the many options available today, you’ll want to pick something that’s both flexible and convenient for you.
Additional perks.
Some HVAC maintenance agreements or contracts come with basic services. Others, however, are customizable and come with extra benefits. Add-ons in a service contract may include priority scheduling, rebates on repair work, and quick response times.
