“A well-maintained HVAC system can reduce breakdown risk by up to 95% and improve energy efficiency by 30%.” — U.S. Department of Energy
When you think about your heating and cooling system, chances are you only really think about it when something goes wrong. Maybe your furnace shuts down on a snowy Indiana night. Or your AC gives out during one of those muggy July heatwaves. That’s when the costs and stress start piling up.
But what if there were a smarter way to avoid those emergencies altogether?
That’s where HVAC Maintenance Plans come in.
What Are HVAC Maintenance Plans?
An HVAC maintenance plan is an agreement between a homeowner and an HVAC company that provides scheduled service, exclusive discounts, and priority support. At Hoosier Indoor Air, we call this our Comfort Guard™, and it’s one of the easiest ways to keep your system running smoothly all year long—without surprise expenses.
These plans typically include:
- Two precision tune-ups per year (usually spring and fall)
- Discounts on repairs and replacement parts
- Priority scheduling for service calls
- Reminders so you never forget to schedule essential maintenance
Let’s break down why so many homeowners across Central Indiana are investing in these plans—and whether it’s the right move for you.
The Benefits of HVAC Maintenance Plans
🛠 1. Prevent Breakdowns Before They Happen
Your HVAC system is a complex machine. It runs almost every day, pushing warm or cool air through miles of ductwork. Over time, components wear down, wiring loosens, and filters clog.
Routine service catches those little issues before they become major repairs. That loose capacitor? Fixed. That refrigerant leak? Spotted and sealed. The result? Fewer unexpected breakdowns and more peace of mind.
💸 2. Save on Repairs and Energy Bills
Here in Central Indiana, winters can be harsh, and summers are no joke either. When your system isn’t running efficiently, it has to work harder—and that means higher energy bills.
Regular maintenance:
- Optimizes system airflow and performance
- Keeps your thermostat accurate
- Extends the life of your components
- Improves energy efficiency by up to 30%
And if something does go wrong? Our HVAC Maintenance Plan members get discounts and perks for heating and cooling repair services.
📅 3. Stay on Schedule (Without Lifting a Finger)
Let’s be honest—nobody wants to remember to schedule their HVAC tune-up.
That’s why our maintenance plan includes automated reminders and pre-scheduled visits. You’ll never forget to service your system again. And that helps protect your warranty, too.
Many manufacturers now require proof of regular maintenance to honor their warranty coverage. So if you want to keep that warranty intact? This is a smart move.
🚨 4. Priority Service When You Need It Most
Let’s say your furnace stops working on a freezing January night. You’re not the only one calling HVAC companies. With a Hoosier Indoor Air Comfort Guard™ Membership, you’re moved to the top of the list—priority service guaranteed, even during peak season.
And if you need a full system replacement? Plan members also get first access to new equipment and faster installation timelines.
What’s Included in a Maintenance Visit?
Here’s what we inspect, test, and tune during a typical Hoosier Indoor Air maintenance visit:
For Heating:
- Carbon monoxide testing
- Burner & heat exchanger inspection
- Thermostat calibration
- Fan motor lubrication
- Gas valve & pressure checks
- Airflow measurement
For Cooling:
- Refrigerant level check
- Evaporator & condenser coil cleaning
- Electrical connection tightening
- Drain line flush
- Compressor performance test
Our technicians follow a comprehensive 20+ point checklist to make sure your system is in peak condition.
Is It Worth It? Let’s Look at the Numbers
The average HVAC tune-up costs $100–$150 per visit. That’s $200–$300 per year just for routine care. But with an HVAC Maintenance Plan, you not only lock in discounted rates, you also receive:
- Free precision tune-ups
- Repair discounts (often 10–15%)
- Priority scheduling
- No emergency fees
- Bonus perks (like filter delivery options)
The math works out. And the peace of mind? You can’t put a price on that.
DIY vs. Professional Maintenance
Yes, you should change your air filter regularly. And yes, you can clean around the outside unit.
But when it comes to deeper diagnostics, testing voltage, inspecting heat exchangers, or handling refrigerants, it’s time to call in the pros.
A trained HVAC technician knows what to look for, what to test, and how to spot signs of trouble early.
Final Verdict: Should You Buy an HVAC Maintenance Plan?
Absolutely—if you want to protect your investment, avoid costly surprises, and keep your energy bills low.
HVAC Maintenance Plans aren’t just for “older” systems either. They’re one of the best ways to increase system lifespan, maintain indoor air quality, and avoid emergency calls during Indiana’s weather extremes.
