There’s a lot of conflicting information out there about furnace service plans. Is it wise to purchase one? Is the value there? What should it cover? Western Mechanical, Inc. can help answer your questions and erase some confusion.
But I Have a Warranty
One of the most confusing things about furnace repair plans is that homeowners often assume they don’t need a plan because their furnace is under warranty. The maintenance service plan and a warrant are two very different things—and in a lot of cases, you are required to have routine furnace service done to keep your warranty in place. Scheduling these appointments will ensure your furnace is operating as it should and help recognize potential problems before they become bigger, and expensive, problems. A warranty commonly only covers major components of a furnace, and they often only cover parts and not labor costs, which can add up quickly. It’s important to understand all the details of your warranty so you comprehend what’s covered and what isn’t.
Other Benefits of Routine Maintenance
In addition to making sure your equipment is working properly, routine maintenance offers many more benefits. Properly maintained systems are more prone 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 household healthier and your home cleaner.
Another benefit of regular maintenance is that it helps confirm your furnace will operate correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are low. The last thing you want on a brisk Logan night is to have to arrange an emergency repair.
