Preventative Maintenance

Smart homeowners agree – it’s cheaper to prevent a problem than to fix one. An Energy Savings Agreement gives you the security of knowing that your HVAC system is always in prime working condition and that you are covered if any sudden problems arise.

• 2 service visits per year (Fall & Spring)

• Priority repair service

• 15% discount on repair work

Chances are, your heating and cooling system is the most important (and expensive) piece of machinery in your home. In fact, it’s probably also the largest consumer of energy! For such an important piece of equipment, an HVAC unit often doesn’t receive the regular attention that it needs to operate properly. When that happens, the expense of repair and replacement can become overwhelming.

A bi-annual checkup of your unit can keep it operating safely while eliminating the most common preventable problems before they have a chance to take a bite out of your budget . However, even the best maintenance can’t prevent all problems from occurring. That’s why we automatically give service priority to customers with an Energy Savings Agreement, along with a 15% discount on all repair work.

Still not sure whether an Energy Savings Agreement is right for you?

Consider the following:

In the long run, an Energy Savings Agreement will cost only a fraction of

the price of the service visits and replacements that could have been prevented.

You change the oil in your car; you run anti-virus programs on your computer…

and likewise, you should take basic measures to ensure the long-term health of

your heating and cooling system.

The top cause of system failure is dirt buildup, which can be prevented with

regular maintenance.

A neglected system can waste 25% or more of a household’s electrical output;

imagine what that can do to your utility bills!

A well-maintained system can eliminate allergens and pollutants from your

indoor air. Not only can this make your life more comfortable, it can save you

money on medical bills and related costs.

Priority service calls guarantee that if something does cause your system to fail,

you’ll jump to the front of the line for repairs. Imagine how much difference a

single day of 100-degree weather makes in your home; isn’t it worth taking the opportunity now to make sure you’re covered in any situation? For more information on becoming an Energy Savings Agreement customer call (704)226-0900 or fill in and submit the form below.
