AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE CONTRACT
WHY CLEAN YOUR SYSTEM AND HAVE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
One of the best ways to get the most out of your air conditioner and heater is to have routine maintenance performed by a professional HVAC service technician. If your system has never been cleaned or serviced, get your system signed up for a biannual service contract.
You probably are wondering if you need to have maintenance twice a year. Your equipment is used to both heat and cool your home and each season offers it own set of distinct problems. Having your system checked out by a professional will ensure that your home will remain comfortable all year long, prevent major repairs, and alert you to potential problems. Your professional will also lubricate moving parts every six months which helps maintain the equipment. Studies consistently show that skipping a year can result in significantly reduced system efficiency—so as the manufacturers recommend, each season is the best frequency for your system tune-up.
Regardless of your air conditioner's manufacturer, scheduled maintenance can keep it running longer, more efficiently and with fewer breakdowns. It is a well proven fact that that the money invested in a preferred customer service agreement is paid back and then some. To learn how to properly maintain your system, check your manufacturer's maintenance guidelines. If you no longer have the owner's manual for your equipment, check the manufacturer's website and follow the prescribed maintenance procedures.

They will have a long list of items to check, and they will know what trouble signs to look for.
