I am retired from the business and you should have any A/C and Heating
system check before you use them to make sure all is safe to operate.
When it comes to a extended service plan all I can say if you trust your A/C
& Heating company, the plan is good for you and for them but if you do not
trust the company then it can bite you on the butt. I would use them on some
simple jobs and then see if they were fair and honest to you.

Safe? If the furnace runs and you have a Co detector what is unsafe.
Yearly maintenance on a Ng furnace is a waste of money if you can
check filters and flame condition.


Hi,
How about making sure it runs at peak efficiency? I guess you
don't/won't do anything about your car either as long as it runs?- Hide quoted text -

For my Lennox with a 4" media filter and being able to see the flame I
dont need yearly maintenance, my installer and neighbor installer told
me this, and i have found it true. If you dont know anything about
equipment, use a cheap filter system or have a old unit you can
benefit as many folks dont know or do any maintenance, I have a staem
boiler checked ever year but not my HW boiler or furnace, as I said If
you have a good air filter that is maintained and can see the flames
condition, and the unit is not real old yearly inspection I find
usualy ends up a waste of money, the AC and coil I do believe yearly
maintenance is required. Bubba wants everyone to believe that a
furnace with AC needs 2 inspections yearly, You can do it all usualy
with your AC check on a furnace.
