Why Are AC Maintenance Plans Important?
Many people look at maintenance plans the same way they look at extended warranties: expensive and useless unless something big breaks. But that couldn’t be further from the truth! In reality, AC maintenance plans aren’t done in response to something breaking. Instead, the goal of an AC maintenance plan is to ensure that nothing has or is in danger of breaking anytime soon. In fact, catching this damage early, along with the other services included in an AC maintenance plan, has a variety of benefits that extend far beyond just making repairs when something is broken. Take a look at just a few of the many, many benefits an AC maintenance plan can give you:
Increased Lifespan
Many AC units regularly last anywhere between 15-25 years with regular use. However, if you want your unit to last the entire length — and even beyond — of its lifespan, an AC maintenance plan is crucial. When AC units have to exert excess energy to overcome a repair need, the unit wears down faster than normal. You have the potential to increase the expected lifespan of your unit by having regular maintenance performed.
Improved Efficiency
Tired of electricity bills through the roof even though your usage hasn’t seemed to change? One of the most common culprits of an unexpectedly high electricity bill is an AC unit that has damage somewhere in the system. When the unit has to work harder to cool the same space, your electricity bill will invariably rise. Having regular maintenance allows for those small repairs to be addressed almost immediately, making it easier for your AC unit to effectively cool your home or business.
Ensure Manufacturer’s Warranty
When you purchased your new AC unit, it is likely that you received a warranty for the unit. Whether that warranty was for 6 months or 10 years depends on the manufacturer that you bought from, but it is very common to have stipulations that you must abide by in order for the manufacturer to honor the warranty. Often, the stipulation includes having a licensed HVAC technician regularly inspect and repair the unit. If you don’t follow these stipulations, the manufacturer is not obligated to abide by the warranty. Setting up a regular maintenance plan ensures that your warranty remains intact.
These benefits and more are available to you at a fraction of the cost of their value! With the hundreds of dollars you’ll save over the course of your AC’s lifespan on energy costs, major repairs, and even replacement, there is no question that an AC maintenance plan is a well-protected investment. Give our team a call today to hear more about what an AC maintenance plan can do for you.
What Is Included In An AC Maintenance Plan?
While AC maintenance plans can be completely customized to fit your needs, here are a few of the services commonly offered with our comprehensive maintenance plans.
Calibrate Your Thermostat
The brains of the system, your thermostat has to accurately read the temperature of your home or business in order to effectively cool your space to your desired temperature. We ensure that your thermostat is correct so that the rest of the system has the chance to function appropriately.
Clean and Clear Debris
With both your outdoor unit and indoor ductwork, dirt, dust, and debris can overwhelm your system. To make sure your AC unit can operate effectively, we clean and clear anything that we find in or around the unit and the visible system as a whole.
Tighten Electrical Connections
It may not seem like it, but over time, the electrical connections throughout your system can loosen little by little. We inspect these connections each time we come out to your home or business to ensure the connections stay tight, preventing any larger issues.
General Inspection
We want to make sure the health of your unit stays as optimal as possible. That is why, at each maintenance appointment, we know exactly what to look for to find signs of current — and even potential — damage. Whatever we find will either be addressed immediately or talked through with you before setting up an appointment for larger repairs.
