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? B & B Heating & Cooling is happy to provide some more information to eliminate confusion.

But I Have a Warranty

Perhaps one of the most confusing things about air conditioning repair plans is that homeowners often think 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 are required to have routine air conditioning service performed to keep your warranty in effect. These visits help ensure your air conditioner is working as it should and flag any potential problems before they become larger, and expensive, problems. A warranty commonly only covers major components of an air conditioner, and not labor costs, which can quickly add up. It’s vital to go through all 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 many other benefits. Properly maintained systems have a better chance operate at peak efficiency, which may help save costs on your energy 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 air conditioner will run correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are high. The last thing you want on a warmer Florissant day is to need to arrange for an emergency repair.
