A few years ago I signed up for an annual repair plan with my local HVAC tech, but if you have never heard of these before, they are easily a great deal, however you spend money on an annual fee to the corporation, plus in return you get two free repair inspections.
Depending on the corporation you use there may be other benefits as well, with my local corporation it was just the two repair visits.
The whole industry has changed a lot in the last twenty years, so the annual HVAC repair plan was honestly a great deal because it saved me a lot of money. Do you know how much it costs for an official HVAC inspection plus tune-up these afternoons? A lot more than I expected, I can tell you that. By paying in advance for the annual repair plan both of my inspections are fully covered, and they replace the air filters at every visit, but a high quality HEPA air filter will cost you well over sixty bucks these afternoons, so getting them for free is what makes the plan worthwhile to me. It’s nice to not have to worry about the cooling system, because it gets evaluated officially, plus the plan also covers emergency repairs should the need arise. They have a 24-hour hotline for emergency HVAC work, which helps me to sleep easier at night. I strongly encourage you to check with your local HVAC provider plus see what their chances are for long-term HVAC services. It’s just one less thing for you to worry and stress about.
