The Maintenance Agreement that the user, as an HVAC contractor can sell may seem like an afterthought, but actually, it can be one of the most important aspects of their HVAC company.

If users currently are not offering HVAC Maintenance Agreements to their customers, here are 4 reasons why users should be using them to help improve their HVAC business and the relationship user have with their customers. Following are 4 reasons why HVAC service contracts are important for technicians to sell: 

1. Build customer loyalty

As users begin to offer service contracts and build up a list of customers participating, users are going to get to know these customers over time. Year after year, users will be the ones servicing their HVAC equipment and visiting their homes for preventative checks. When it comes time for a repair, a new system, or other needs, the user will be the first call they make.

Users not only know the equipment at their house, user know them personally and that goes a long way. The best way to sell service contracts is to offer them on every job. Automatically add this as a line item recommendation on proposals, allowing the homeowner to opt-out if necessary. 

2. Help Create Planned leads

Creating a user list of service agreement customers are simultaneously creating their list of future leads

Similar to building customer loyalty, creating a user list of service agreement customers are simultaneously creating their list of future leads for new equipment.

On average, HVAC equipment should be replaced every 8 years. If users are willing to provide priority service, then user’ll be able to provide routine maintenance that creates loyal customers and future sales.

3. Create Additional Service Opportunities

In addition to replacing equipment and generating future sales, maintenance agreements put the user team in the customer’s home twice a year.

Users can identify other issues they might have and other opportunities for service. Do they need a new thermostat? Are they experiencing air quality issues? 

4. Provide Enterprise Value

By increasing user recurring reviews with maintenance agreements year after year, and the revenue user’ll receive from future sales, their business will be worth a lot more to potential investors and buyers.
