Which Air Conditioning Service Plan Should I Get?

October 20, 2017

It can be consuming when you start looking at the information about air conditioning service plans. Should you get one? Is the cost worth it? What should the plan cover? 1st Choice Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. can help answer your questions and erase some confusion.

But I Have a Warranty

A confusing piece about air conditioning repair plans is that homeowners often believe they don’t need one because their air conditioning is under warranty. However, the warranty and a maintenance service agreement are two very different things—and in lots of cases, you are required to have regular air conditioning service performed to keep your warranty in effect. These visits help ensure your air conditioner is running as it should and flag any potential problems before they become major, and expensive, problems. A warranty typically only covers major components of an air conditioner, and they often only cover parts and not labor costs, which can add up quickly. It’s important to go through all details of your warranty so you know what’s covered and what isn’t.

Other Benefits of Routine Maintenance

Not only does it ensure your furnace is working correctly, routine maintenance has many other benefits. Properly maintained systems will be more likely to operate at peak efficiency, which can potentially save you money on utility bills. They also help to enhance your home’s air, helping to keep your family healthier and your home cleaner.

Yet another benefit is that it helps make sure your air conditioner will run correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are high. The last thing you want on a warmer Lake Forest day is to have to schedule an emergency repair.
