HVAC service agreement management is the key to getting predictable, steady cash flow for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how to manage service agreements? And how to convince clients to get them?<\/span><\/p>\n

Read below to find out everything you need to know about HVAC service agreements<\/b> and how to manage them effectively:<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I sell my HVAC service agreement?<\/span><\/h2>\n

An HVAC service agreement is a contract you make with the client to check-up periodically on their heating or AC units throughout the year. The number of check-ups varies from bimonthly to every 6 months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some companies offer basic coverage for under $200 (which just covers check-ups), while others offer discounted rates for any needed repairs on the spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how do you convince your client to sign a service agreement? Well, the answer is simple really: you have to <\/span>convince them that paying monthly for routine check-ups costs less than a surprise repair.<\/b><\/p>\n

Routine maintenance guarantees HVAC units live longer and as such, families with service agreements will have fewer issues with unexpected repairs that break the bank. And if a unit is showing signs of decay, the technician will alert them beforehand so they can save money.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, in a nutshell:<\/b> your technicians can tell clients that service agreements are a form of \u201cinsurance\u201d for check-ups with a small monthly fee that\u2019s lower than an unexpected, costly repair.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I manage my HVAC service agreements?<\/span><\/h2>\n

To manage service agreements efficiently, you need to have all of them recorded in a single place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many HVAC companies anger clients and cause disagreements because they do not provide the with incorrect invoices. A common problem is sending an invoice to a client for a repair that should be covered by the service agreement, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why you need a profile on each client, the equipment they have, and the terms of the service agreement they signed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before you send any technician to a client, you need to check their tab and see if the service agreement is active, as well as what\u2019s covered by the contract.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are HVAC service contracts worth it?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, of course. The main benefit of a service contract is <\/span>recurring cash flow<\/b>, as well as making your operations easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

With service agreements, you can book tune-ups periodically, instead of having to deal with a lot of clients \u201cout of the blue\u201d demanding urgent repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more clients you have on service agreements, the better.<\/b> You can space out technician visits instead of having to deal with the crunch of summer (for ACs) and winter (for heaters) when suddenly you get a lot of services.<\/span><\/p>\n

With service contracts, you can do tune-ups during fall or spring, which for many HVAC companies are slow for business.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, in a nutshell:<\/b> service contracts make booking technician visits easier, as well as provide predictable, recurring cash flow.<\/span><\/p>\n
