Which Air Conditioning Service Plan Should I Get?

October 20, 2017

There’s a lot of conflicting information out there about air conditioning service plans. Should you get one? Is it worth it? What should the plan cover? GV Heating & Air can help answer your questions and erase some confusion.

But I Have a Warranty

Perhaps one of the most confusing things 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 separate things—and in lots of cases, you actually need to have routine air conditioning service performed to keep your warranty in effect. Scheduling these appointments will ensure your air conditioner is operating as it should and help identify potential problems before they become larger, and expensive, problems. A warranty usually only covers major components of an air conditioner, and not labor costs, which can accumulate pretty fast. It’s important to understand all of the details of your warranty so you recognize what’s covered and what isn’t.

Other Benefits of Routine Maintenance

Along with keeping your system operating safely, routine maintenance has a variety of benefits. Properly maintained systems are more likely to operate at peak efficiency, which could help you bring down those energy costs. They also filter your home’s air better, helping to keep your household healthier and your home cleaner.

That’s not all, another benefit of routine maintenance is that it helps make sure your air conditioner will operate correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are high. The last thing you want on a warm Crystal and Twin Cities day is to have an emergency repair pop up.
