Which Air Conditioning Service Plan Should I Get?

October 20, 2017

There can be some inconsistent info about air conditioning service plans. Do you need one? Is the cost worth it? What should it include? Knoechel Heating Company 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 assume they don’t need the repair plan because their air conditioning is under warranty. A warranty and a maintenance service plan are two very different things—and in many cases, you are required to have regular air conditioning service completed to keep your warranty in effect. Scheduling these appointments will ensure your air conditioner is running as it should and highlight potential problems before they become larger, and expensive, problems. A warranty commonly only covers major components of an air conditioner, and they often only cover parts and not labor costs, which can accumulate pretty fast. It’s critical to read all the details of your warranty so you recognize what’s covered and what isn’t.

Other Benefits of Routine Maintenance

In addition to making sure your equipment is working properly, routine maintenance has many other 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 you healthier and your home cleaner.

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