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 the cost worth it? What should it cover? Stanford Heating & Cooling is happy to provide some more information to eliminate confusion.

But I Have a Warranty

A confusing piece about air conditioning repair plans is that homeowners often assume they don’t need the repair plan because their air conditioning is under warranty. However, the warranty and a maintenance service agreement are two distinctively separate things—and in a lot cases, you actually need to have routine air conditioning service completed to keep your warranty in effect. These services help to make sure your air conditioner is running as it should and highlight potential problems before they become larger, and expensive, problems. A warranty usually only covers major components of an air conditioner, and they often only cover parts and not labor costs, which can quickly add up. It’s critical 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 will be more likely to operate at peak efficiency, which could help you bring down those energy costs. They also help better filter your home’s air, helping to keep your family healthier and your home cleaner.

Yet another benefit is that it helps confirm your air conditioner will operate correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are high. The last thing you want on a warm Bloomfield day is to have an emergency repair pop up.
