An HVAC Service Agreement Versus a Home Warranty

Maintenance for your HVAC system in Port Charlotte, FL can be expensive, so many homeowners look for ways to minimize the cost. When budgeting for indoor climate control, weigh your options when determining whether a home warranty or an HVAC service agreement is better.

Protecting Your HVAC system is Paramount

The most important consideration is protecting your HVAC system and getting the preventive maintenance you need. Home warranties cover a variety of mechanical systems that include central heating, air conditioning, heat pumps and mini-split systems. However, if you don’t maintain your system properly, the home warranty company could void your policy.

Home Warranty Drawbacks

Although a home warranty is like insurance, you cannot choose which HVAC contractor performs the work. They choose the contractor, meaning you could get a different one for each service call. During hot weather, you may also have to wait longer than normal for air conditioning repairs until the home warranty company finds a contractor to fix your problem.

What Service Contracts Offer

With an HVAC service agreement, you get specified maintenance services at an agreed-upon price with no surprises. The same company always works on your system and keeps records on it, which can help with troubleshooting as the unit ages. You also make the final decision on whether to repair or replace your system.
