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. Is it wise to purchase one? Is it worth it? What should it cover? Lakeside Heating & Air is here to answer your questions and clear up the confusion.

But I Have a Warranty

One of the most confusing things about air conditioning repair plans is that homeowners often think they don’t need the repair plan because their air conditioning is under warranty. However, the warranty and a maintenance service agreement are two distinctively separate things—and in a lot cases, you are required to have ongoing air conditioning service done to keep your warranty in effect. These services help to make sure your air conditioner is running as it should and highlight potential problems before they become larger, and expensive, problems. A warranty typically only covers major components of an air conditioner, and does not cover labor costs, which can add up quickly. It’s vital to understand all of the details of your warranty so you know what’s covered and what isn’t.

Other Benefits of Routine Maintenance

Not only does it ensure your furnace is working correctly, 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 help to enhance your home’s air, helping to keep your household healthier and your home cleaner.

That’s not all, another benefit of routine maintenance 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 warmer Chelan and Wenatchee day is to need to arrange for an emergency repair.
