The same goes for HVAC service contracts. While an HVAC maintenance contract can be a great way to make sure your system is kept in good working order, it is very important to understand the terms and conditions. HVAC service contracts can often be a little difficult to understand and unfortunately many service providers don&rsquo;t do a great job of explaining exactly what it is you are paying for. Here at Galmiche &amp; Sons, we believe knowledge is power, so we strive to ensure that consumers understand HVAC service contracts and what to look out for.<\/p>\n<p>As a leading St. Louis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating and air conditioning<\/a> company, we have a wealth of experience providing HVAC service contracts.

Most of these are simply poorly written, which leaves ambiguousness that can mean you are not receiving a service you thought you had paid for. We put together this helpful list of HVAC service contracts red flags in order to make sure that you are protected:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ridiculous Pricing<\/strong> &#8211; It is good practice to always shop around for a service contract. If you come across one that has a price too good to be true, beware. A good deal can often mean you are not covered for much. Compare prices around town and see if your contract is similarly priced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Legal Jargon<\/strong> &#8211; Those of us who are not legal experts often have a difficult time understanding legal terminology that is used in contracts. Lots of legal language in an HVAC service contract is a red flag that the business will likely be more protected than you are. Always ask for plain clarification before signing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One Page Contract<\/strong> &#8211; A single page service contract is a dubious thing. HVAC service contracts should give a detailed account of what is covered and what is not. So a contract that is limited to just one page may be a major red flag.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Small Font<\/strong> &#8211; If you receive a contract that has lots of info crammed into a very small font, be careful. This is often a tactic used to dupe consumers into not reading the full contract. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Should_Expect_to_See_in_Your_Service_Contract\"><\/span>What You Should Expect to See in Your Service Contract<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-service-contract-red-flags-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"What You Should Look for in HVAC Service Contracts\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-service-contract-red-flags-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-service-contract-red-flags-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here are some things that should be explained in your contract:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Equipment that is covered<\/li>\n<li>Tasks to be performed with each inspection and frequency of inspection<\/li>\n<li>Included parts and labor<\/li>\n<li>Hours that inspections can be performed<\/li>\n<li>Payment options<\/li>\n<li>A list of what is NOT included in contract<\/li>\n<li>Length of contract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_Galmiche_Sons_for_Reliable_HVAC_Service_Contracts\"><\/span>Choose Galmiche &amp; Sons for Reliable HVAC Service Contracts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At Galmiche &amp; Sons, we are proud of our reputation as a trustworthy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating and air conditioning<\/a> company.
