The Benefits of a HVAC Maintenance Plan

As a homeowner, ensuring that the HVAC system you've purchased continues to run properly should be your priority. Most HVAC systems come with a guarantee that will cover the system for a while, but at some point, it's necessary to build a relationship with a professional HVAC company that will handle the upkeep and repairs for your air conditioner and heating system throughout the year.

Like most HVAC owners, you're probably wondering whether or not it's actually worth the investment to get regular maintenance performed. Let's analyze exactly how necessary having HVAC maintenance is, and discuss where you can go to get more information on a service plan for your brand-new system.


HVAC MAINTENANCE

The truth is, HVAC upkeep isn't free and can set you back a couple of hundred dollars a year. It's understandable why HVAC owners are so hesitant because the assumption is that your system will work well for a long time - it doesn't seem like an urgent matter, and people prefer spending money on solutions they require in the present moment. If that's the case, do you really need to spend money on preventative measures? The short answer to that is yes. HVAC service and maintenance agreements are worth it in the long term, even if your system isn't giving you issues currently.


LOWERS YOUR UTILITY EXPENSES

When you have yearly or twice a year service on your HVAC system, you don't need to worry about arranging maintenance yourself seasonally because it's already handled. HVAC upkeep is also the key to lowering your energy bills, which will help to balance out the expenses.

KEEPS HVAC SYSTEM WORKING

Upkeep is the best way to keep your HVAC working as it should. The last thing you want in summer when it's warm and sticky is for your AC to break down. Having regular maintenance performed is the key to making sure your cooling and heating system continues to operate at maximum efficiency throughout the different seasons.


Not only will it help you avoid system failures, but it will extend the life span of your equipment. A maintenance program will also help your HVAC recover its performance as it begins to be less reliable with expected wear and tear.


PRIORITY SERVICE AND COST SAVINGS

Usually, the HVAC business prioritizes those clients that have ongoing services, and also consumer loyalty. They might even offer price cuts and specials on components and repairs. This means that when your system does have an issue, you won't be put on a waiting list for months to get the issue fixed.

    Been using them for years after the owner Kevin showed up so fast when our furnace went out one year. Been a fan since! Now, Danny is so great to work with, also. So friendly, knowledgable, fast. You guys are the best!

    Danny came out on a Saturday to diagnosis and fix my mom’s hvac unit.   He was able to quickly determine what the problem was and had all the parts to complete the repair right then.  His communication was clear and did a really good job helping us understand what caused the issue.  I would definitely recommend him and will be calling his company with any needs in the future. Thanks again!

    Fantastic customer service! I had a furnace issue, called late morning and they fit me in for diagnostic right away. Technician was extremely knowledgable, walked me thru everything he found - unfortunately needed a new furnace (was 24 years old anyways), got it scheduled and installed within 24 hours as everything was in the warehouse (probably got lucky on what we needed). Overall excellent customer service, from scheduling to diagnostic, to installation. Highly recommend.

    WOW! So impressed with so many aspects of this company. We had an animal die under the house in and could smell it coming out of the vents. When I called around, pest control was weeks out and Best Owner Direct was able to come the next day. Our technician, Danny was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Very professional, kind and made sure we had the problem taken care of the same day so we could breathe again! I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future for our HVAC needs.

    Daniel was excellent, attentive to detail and committed to completing all tasks other installers overlooked. He worked tirelessly into the evening making sure everything was working properly with a water heather install, and he had a great attitude all along.

    Excellent customer service, great communications answering all of our questions, left the site clean, and very respectful of our space within the house. Arranged to have someone come from the office later in the week to explain how the thermostat works.
