Which Air Conditioning Service Plan Should I Get?

October 20, 2017

There can be some inconsistent info about air conditioning service plans. Should you get one? Is the cost worth it? What should it cover? Strine's Heating & Air Conditioning is here to answer your questions and clear up the confusion.

But I Have a Warranty

A confusing piece about air conditioning repair plans is that homeowners often think they don’t need one because their air conditioning is under warranty. The maintenance service plan and a warrant are two distinctively separate things—and in a lot cases, you are required to have routine air conditioning service completed to keep your warranty in effect. These visits help ensure your air conditioner is running as it should and help identify potential problems before they become bigger, and expensive, problems. A warranty usually only covers major components of an air conditioner, and not labor costs, which can accumulate pretty fast. It’s critical to go through all details of your warranty so you comprehend what’s covered and what isn’t.

Other Benefits of Routine Maintenance

Along with keeping your system operating safely, routine maintenance has lots of other benefits. Properly maintained systems are more likely to operate at peak efficiency, which can potentially save you money on utility bills. They also filter your home’s air better, helping to keep you healthier and your home cleaner.

Another benefit of regular maintenance is that it helps confirm your air conditioner will operate correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are high. The last thing you want on a warm York day is to have to schedule an emergency repair.
