There’s a lot of conflicting information out there about furnace service plans. Is it wise to purchase one? Is the cost worth it? What should the plan cover? Stieferman Heating Company Inc can help answer your questions and erase some confusion.
But I Have a Warranty
A confusing piece about furnace repair plans is that homeowners often believe they don’t need one because their home’s furnace is under warranty. A warranty and a maintenance service plan are two very different things—and in many cases, you are required to have routine furnace service done to keep your warranty valid. These visits help ensure your furnace is running as it should and help find potential problems before they become major, and expensive, problems. A warranty typically only covers major components of a furnace, and they often only cover parts and not labor costs, which can add up quickly. It’s critical to understand all the details of your warranty so you comprehend what’s covered and what isn’t.
Other Benefits of Routine Maintenance
Not only does it ensure your furnace is working correctly, routine maintenance offers many more benefits. Properly maintained systems are more prone to operate at peak efficiency, which could save you money on utility bills. They also help better filter your home’s air, helping to keep your household healthier and your home cleaner.
Yet another benefit is that it helps ensure your furnace will run correctly through its busiest season—aka when temperatures are low. The last thing you want on a brisk Jefferson City night is to have to call for an emergency repair.
