HVAC Service Contracts: Are They Worth It?

Let’s be honest, most people don’t see the need for a HVAC service contract, and truly don’t understand how they and their equipment can benefit from having one. Unfortunately, this is a prime example of how what you don’t know can hurt you. While you can wait until your AC malfunctions to reach out to a professional, there’s actually a much better, more cost-effective way to keep your HVAC equipment running optimally.

What are the benefits of having a HVAC Service Contract?

Since having a service contract like GuinGuard is going to help you properly maintain your equipment, there are countless benefits that can come from it. By simply being proactive and having a professional assist you in maintaining your HVAC system, you’re going to be far less likely to experience any unexpected problems or repairs. Trained HVAC professionals are going to be able to spot a problem before it even affects you and, in most cases, prevent it from happening again. Along with saving money on avoidable repairs, you’ll also save countless dollars on utility bills by having a system that runs efficiently. Not to mention your equipment is going to last much longer.

What’s included in a service contract like GuinGuard?

While this isn’t true for every HVAC company, GuinGuard, offered by Guin Services, is an extremely cost-effective service we offer that comes with many perks that are hard to pass up. These benefits include:

Regular maintenance reminders and visits. Once you’re signed up, you can count on our team to give you a call to schedule a time to come out for regular maintenance twice a year. This includes one pre-season cooling service and one pre-season heating service. During these biannual visits, our trained technicians will inspect your HVAC system and ensure everything is in good working order.

Free standard maintenance parts and labor. Along with standard maintenance parts being replaced free of charge, you’ll get free labor on regular maintenance as well. This includes checking operating and safety controls, cleaning and replacing air filters, and even the minor adjustments of belts and pulleys. This in itself is going to help you keep more money in your pocket when it comes to maintaining your system.  

Documentation of regular maintenance. After inspecting your equipment, your technician will give you a report that states if any services, repairs, or replacements are necessary. This is great to have in order to keep up with equipment warranties, and also to have on hand when you decide to sell your home.

Priority service. Also, as a GuinGuard member, you can expect priority service from our team. In the unfortunate event that you do experience a issue with your equipment, you’ll be at the top of our list of service visits.

Richard Walton's Rating
Richard and Austin came to do a plumbing repair. They were SUPER professional and extremely courteous. I am a repeat customer, and I don’t have to guess who I am going to call. I request Richard McDonald every time. He knows my house, and its quirky way it has. Thank you for another great job! Richard Walton
Josh Cooley's Rating
My experiences with Guin have been excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They are problem solvers and seem happy to help, whereas some other companies I have dealt with (Roto-rooter in particular) have salivated at every opportunity to rake me over the coals and charge often double what things should cost. Highly recommended. Josh Cooley
Joan B.'s Rating
This company examined my A/C system for any issues. They were honest and professional. They didn’t use any high tech selling methods. They did exactly what initially was told to me. I decided to let Guin manage my system for future maintenance. I felt like this company cares about customers and that choosing them was a very good choice among several other companies. The technicians were super nice and explained any concerns that I had. Joan B.

HVAC & Plumbing Emergency Services

HVAC & Plumbing Emergency Services

Possibly a homeowner’s worst nightmare is an air conditioner that stops working in the middle of an Alabama summer. If you have lived in the Birmingham area for a summer or two, you know how the humidity adds a whole extra layer of discomfort to an already sweltering day. Air conditioners have to work much harder and longer in the South, so the chance that yours might stop working at any moment is a real possibility.

But Alabama winters pose their own threats, too, like pipes bursting in the middle of the night or on the weekend. Leaky pipes and burst pipes can cause flooding in a home very quickly if a professional isn’t called ASAP. Save valuables and the interior of your home by calling the experienced plumbers at Guin. We are available around the clock all year long for any emergency situation.
