I have had maintenance plans on our furnace and air conditioner systems for a number of years. It has always been a wise investment. My husband traveled for a living and these contracts provided peace of mind to both of us - he, while he was on the road, and me while I was left behind with a small child. My husband passed away in the spring, and these contracts continue to provide peace of mind. I don't have to be concerned about a breakdown - help is just a phone call away. Appointments are easy to schedule and I'm called if the technician is going to be late. Service technicians are knowledgeable, polite and respectful. Office staff work with me to find a time and date that works with my crazy schedule. All in all, a win-win situation.
