Definition
An HVAC maintenance plan is a service agreement in which a contractor performs scheduled tune-ups and inspections on a home's heating and cooling equipment, often with member terms such as priority scheduling or repair discounts. Visits typically cover filters, airflow, electrical components, refrigerant charge, condensate drainage and, for furnaces, combustion safety checks.
Also called: Service agreement, Maintenance membership
Why it matters to you.
Central Kentucky equipment works hard in both seasons, so a spring cooling check before the humid months and a fall heating check before the first cold snap catch most problems early. Feistritzer offers annual maintenance plans designed to save on repairs and maintenance while extending the life of your equipment.
Practical guidance.
Between visits, homeowners can safely change filters on schedule, keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and grass clippings and watch that the condensate drain runs. Leave refrigerant, electrical, gas and combustion work to a licensed technician.
