The Benefits of a Service Contract

Having a maintenance or service contract offers several advantages for individuals making expensive purchases, such as an HVAC system or a water heater. Repairs and ongoing maintenance can add up, but a service contract can counteract those expenses and keep a mechanical item in working order.

Consider the key benefits of having a service contract:

• • Cost Benefits
    • A maintenance contract can save you money in overall maintenance and unexpected repair costs.
    • The additional costs associated with a maintenance contract should pay for themselves when items need repairing.
  • Quality Assurance
    • Manufacturers are less likely to make poorly constructed or faulty products when a service contract is offered along with the purchase. That’s because those repair, maintenance, and replacement costs are on them, not the consumer.
    • Repairmen ensure their work is done well. Returning a second time to fix something they forgot costs them more money.
  • Peace of Mind
    • Service contracts provide customers with peace of mind should anything go wrong with a system. They know the issue will be addressed in a timely manner without much effort on their part.
    • Having peace of mind is especially beneficial when purchasing big-ticket items such as HVAC systems, home appliances, and other plumbing repairs.
