It can be consuming when you start looking at the information about furnace service plans. Is it wise to purchase one? Is it worth it? What should the plan cover? Appalachian Heating is happy to provide some more information to eliminate confusion.
But I Have a Warranty
A confusing piece about furnace repair plans is that homeowners often believe they don’t need a plan because their furnace is under warranty. However, the warranty and a maintenance service agreement are two very different things—and in lots of cases, you are required to have routine furnace service completed to keep your warranty in place. These services help to make sure your furnace is operating as it should and help recognize potential problems before they become major, and expensive, problems. A warranty usually only covers major components of a furnace, and not labor costs, which can add up quickly. It’s critical to understand all the details of your warranty so you know what’s covered and what isn’t.
Other Benefits of Routine Maintenance
In addition to making sure your equipment is working properly, routine maintenance offers many more benefits. Properly maintained systems will be more likely to operate at peak efficiency, which may save you costs on your energy bills. They also help better filter your home’s air, helping to keep you healthier and your home cleaner.
That’s not all, another benefit of routine maintenance is that it helps make sure your furnace will work correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are low. The last thing you want on a brisk Beckley and Mount Hope night is to have to arrange an emergency repair.
