Homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are vast and varied in terms of style and aesthetic. One thing they all have in common, however, is that they deal with the same climate. The DFW area is famous for being incredibly hot in the summer, and quite chilly in the winter. This means that your HVAC systems never get any real time off. They’re working hard. Your plumbing is also working too, no matter what time of year it is. Although your home comfort and plumbing systems are separate, they don’t always have to be when it comes to giving them essential TLC.
At Cody & Sons Plumbing, Heating & Air, we know that home maintenance should be proactive rather than reactive. This gives your systems the best chance of running well during peak seasons. However, we also know that maintenance doesn’t have to be separated just because your home systems are. By bundling your essential services into a single comfort plan, you can receive maintenance on multiple systems at once, instead of scheduling them out separately. This strategy means that you’re cutting professional visit time in half and having both systems (HVAC and plumbing) worked on simultaneously. Here are a few big benefits to this approach.
Significant Cost Savings on Essential Services
Just like insurance carriers, delivery services, and bulk shopping, bundling up your maintenance is also going to save you money. We’re a professional service provider that’s willing to cut you a deal when you bundle your HVAC and plumbing systems together. Although they’re dealt with separately, by a plumber and HVAC tech respectively, it’s still a great way to save.
Beyond the initial discount on the plan itself, members often receive additional perks. These may include:
- Reduced service call fees
- Discounts on necessary repairs
- Lower diagnostic charges
- Fixed pricing on common parts
- Priority service
By investing in a plan upfront, you are locking in lower rates for the entire year. You know what you will be paying, so no surprise costs are sprung on you for your spring HVAC maintenance or winter pipe check.
Enhanced System Longevity and Reliability
Dealing with the Texas climate, your HVAC can easily become a money pit in the home. People who don’t have regular plans often end up having to perform costly repairs. The issue here is no repair is as good as factory conditions, so repairs often snowball into more repairs. You can stop this cycle before it starts by ensuring your HVAC is maintained and tuned-up multiple times per year. Having a plan catches any small issues before they turn into breakdowns. The same holds true with your plumbing. Let us catch those small leaks before they turn into burst pipes.
Our professional technicians look for small issues that could lead to major failures if left unaddressed. Crossover damage is a thing to worry about as well. For instance, a minor plumbing leak could damage your HVAC’s electrical components. This goes from a minor repair to a potential system overhaul. With a maintenance plan from Cody & Sons Plumbing, Heating & Air, we can help prevent these issues.
Improved Energy and Water Efficiency
When it comes to your home systems, efficiency is the key. You need an airtight plumbing system that doesn’t leak or clog, and your HVAC needs to run efficiently and not waste energy. Utility bills skyrocket when your systems are inefficient. More often than not, this is due to your systems experiencing minor wear and tear issues, causing them to overwork and underperform. With a bundled plan, we can help keep your systems running efficiently.
HVACs can overwork and constantly run, failing to heat or cool a room to its set thermostat temperature. However, plumbing also gives you problems when it’s running inefficiently. Small drips that you barely even notice can cost you a lot of money, wasting thousands of gallons per year. Toilets that don’t flush with the proper pressure have to be flushed more often, wasting more water. These small things add up in big ways. Regular maintenance solves most of these minor issues.
Priority Scheduling for Members
Texas gets so brutally hot that even people who’ve been there all their lives can barely stand it when a heat wave comes through. As you might imagine, companies like ours are inundated with service calls during these events. People’s ACs stop working on the hottest days, typically due to minor issues becoming major when the unit has to work harder. With a bundled plan from Cody & Sons Plumbing, Heating & Air, you receive priority scheduling.
To be clear, with regular maintenance, you’re very unlikely to be one of those panicked service calls we receive during a heat wave. Because your HVAC unit has been maintained, the odds are great that your system will push right through the extra load. However, if you do need us, we give you priority because you’re a member with a bundled package. This means you won’t have to wait around for help. The help will be on its way.
Streamlined Records and Consistent Care
When you use different companies for plumbing and heating, things can get a bit messy over time. Your home’s service history becomes fragmented, and it’s harder to piece things together. A bundled plan allows for a centralized record of every inspection, repair, and adjustment made to your HVAC and plumbing. This is important for warranty reasons and for tax reasons. Homeowners need clear, concise records.
You also receive the benefit of consistent care. It sounds a little fictitious on its face, but machines have their own “personalities,” for lack of a better term. You probably remember an old car you had, where you essentially had to perform some ritual to get it to start. That particular personality shows up in all machinery. We grow accustomed to how your HVAC responds to care. So, we know that the blower motor may need a tweak, and the filter has to be replaced, and then you’re good to go. That is obviously only an example, but it illustrates how consistent care works. Our techs know your machine and can work on it more efficiently.
Comprehensive Safety Inspections
More than your home systems functioning properly, they need to function safely. If you have a fuel-burning furnace, then it’s creating carbon monoxide gas consistently. Any sort of crack in the housings, or incomplete combustion, could send this dangerous gas leaking into the home. Proper maintenance prevents these issues from happening. For plumbing systems, we can catch a small issue before it becomes a disgusting and dangerous sewer backup, for instance.
A whole-home comfort plan includes thorough safety checks for:
- Gas line integrity
- Electrical connections
- Flue and venting systems
- Pressure relief valves
- Drain pan overflows
- Sewer issues
By bundling these services, you ensure that a litany of potential hazards are evaluated by a professional. We take the safety of your family seriously, and our multi-point inspections are designed to catch risks before they become dangerous issues.
