A Maintenance Agreement Will See You Through All Four Seasons
If you're replacing or installing a new HVAC system, you might be wondering whether or not to sign up for a maintenance agreement. By setting up an agreement with your HVAC provider you can ensure your system gets the preventive maintenance it needs.Maintenance agreements range from basic plans to more comprehensive. With a basic plan, you will receive checkups at the beginning of winter and summer, when the most drastic temperature changes occur. More comprehensive plans offer discounts on parts and labor, as well as priority service calls and warranties on service.The benefits to having an annual plan is that you are more likely to get your HVAC system serviced on a regular basis, which will improve the energy efficiency of your home. Without a regular tune-up and cleaning, you can lose as much as 30 percent in air conditioner efficiency, and in the case of your furnace, up to 17 percent. In addition, regular maintenance can also reduce the chance of having more unexpected costly repairs occur. Knowing that a trained technician will be servicing your A/C and heating systems a few times a year also means that your filters will be regularly changed, leaks or other potential problems will be identified and fixed sooner, keeping your system running smoothly all year round.Air Assurance offers an Extended Service Plan that protects customers against neglect, poor maintenance procedures and perhaps equipment failure.For more expert advice about a maintenance agreement and other issues related to home comfort, contact Air Assurance, serving the Greater Tulsa area since 1985.Our goal is to help educate our customers in the Tulsa and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma area about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems).
