Which Air Conditioning Service Plan Should I Get?

October 20, 2017

It can be consuming when you start looking at the information about air conditioning service plans. Do you need one? Is it worth it? What should it cover? McFadden 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 believe 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 actually need to have routine air conditioning service performed to keep your warranty in effect. Scheduling these appointments will ensure your air conditioner is operating as it should and help identify potential problems before they become major, and expensive, problems. A warranty commonly only covers major components of an air conditioner, and does not cover labor costs, which can add up quickly. It’s critical to go through all details of your warranty so you know 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 are more likely to operate at peak efficiency, which can potentially save you money on utility bills. They also help better filter your home’s air, helping to keep your household healthier and your home cleaner.

Yet another benefit 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 hot Dresden day is to need to arrange for an emergency repair.
