There are also some extra perks of investing into a maintenance program
The investment into a top quality air conditioner and furnace was significant. These systems are two of the most expensive appliances installed in the home. I spent extra in order to take advantage of higher SEER and AFUE ratings. My family relies on the heating and cooling units just about year round. In order to optimize value, I take very good care of my furnace and air conditioner. I make sure to replace the air filters every month. I’ve also enrolled into a maintenance plan with a local HVAC contractor. The maintenance contract includes two visits per year. A licensed, fully insured and NATE-certified technician provides upkeep for the furnace in the fall and for the air conditioner in the spring. During the visit, he utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic software to test operation. He thoroughly cleans all of the components, tightens electrical connections, lubricates moving parts, verifies the integrity of the heat exchangers, tests the refrigerant and replaces any worn or broken parts. This service fulfills the requirements of the manufacturer’s warranty coverage. It also restores the heating and cooling system to peak capacity and energy efficiency. I can be sure that my family enjoys optimum comfort and indoor air quality. There is less chance of a malfunction and the equipment should last longer. There are also some extra perks of investing into a maintenance program. I benefit from priority scheduling and don’t pay any added fees for overtime service. I get a fifteen percent discount of labor and parts for any repairs. I like the peace of mind of knowing my furnace and air conditioner are ready for the upcoming demands of the season.
