There can be some inconsistent info about furnace service plans. Is it wise to purchase one? Is the cost worth it? What should it include? James Heating & A/C, Inc is here to answer your questions and clear up the confusion.
But I Have a Warranty
Perhaps one of the most confusing things about furnace repair plans is that homeowners often believe they don’t need a plan because their furnace is under warranty. A warranty and a maintenance service plan are two very different things—and in many cases, you are required to have routine furnace service completed to keep your warranty in effect. These visits help ensure your furnace is operating as it should and help find potential problems before they become major, and expensive, problems. A warranty usually only covers major components of a furnace, and they often only cover parts and not labor costs, which can add up quickly. It’s wise to understand all the details of your warranty so you understand what’s covered and what isn’t.
Other Benefits of Routine Maintenance
Along with keeping your system operating safely, routine maintenance offers many more benefits. Properly maintained systems are more likely to operate at peak efficiency, which could save you money on utility bills. They also help to enhance your home’s air, helping to keep you healthier and your home cleaner.
That’s not all, another benefit of routine maintenance is that it helps ensure your furnace will work correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are low. The last thing you want on a brisk Lexington night is to have to call for an emergency repair.
