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 the cost worth it? What should it cover? Street Heating and Cooling can help answer your questions and erase some confusion.

But I Have a Warranty

A confusing piece 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 actually need to have routine air conditioning service performed to keep your warranty in effect. Scheduling these appointments will ensure your air conditioner is working as it should and highlight potential problems before they become major, 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 critical to read all the details of your warranty so you recognize 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 have a better chance 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 you healthier and your home cleaner.

Yet another benefit is that it helps confirm your air conditioner will work correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are high. The last thing you want on a warm Rapid City day is to need to arrange for an emergency repair.
