is it worth it to keep a service contract on a heater??

WE have gas heat and central air. We currently have a service contract. They come twice a year to check the system. This time they wanted to change a part - $305 dollars - I told then no since the system is currently working fine

They don't have sat. hours so 'I allways need to take off from work when they come

Re: is it worth it to keep a service contract on a heater??

The point of having a service contract is that they only charge for parts and basically the labor is payed for from your service contract.

It is also important if you ever have a heat emergency they will come out at odd hours, and i'm sure on the weekend. Regular annual clean-ups are usually done during normal business hours.

If you are not happy with the current comp you have a contract with then by all means switch but it is prob a good idea to have a contract with somebody...
