Which Air Conditioning Service Plan Should I Get?

October 20, 2017

There can be some inconsistent info about air conditioning service plans. Is it wise to purchase one? Is the cost worth it? What should it cover? Wolfe & Sons Heating and Cooling is here to answer your questions and clear up the confusion.

But I Have a Warranty

Perhaps one of the most confusing things about air conditioning repair plans is that homeowners often assume they don’t need a plan because their air conditioning is under warranty. A warranty and a maintenance service plan are two very different things—and in lots of cases, you actually need to have ongoing air conditioning service performed to keep your warranty in effect. Scheduling these appointments will ensure your air conditioner is running as it should and flag any potential problems before they become bigger, and expensive, problems. A warranty usually only covers major components of an air conditioner, and does not cover labor costs, which can quickly add up. It’s important to understand all of the details of your warranty so you know 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 will be more likely to operate at peak efficiency, which may help save costs on your energy bills. They also help better filter your home’s air, helping to keep your household healthier and your home cleaner.

That’s not all, another benefit of routine maintenance is that it helps ensure your air conditioner will operate correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are high. The last thing you want on a warm Columbus day is to need to arrange for an emergency repair.
