HVAC Service Contract

HVAC service contracts can bring your business consistent revenue and improve the health of your customers’ systems.

Despite the benefits, it takes work to put together written agreements that make sense for your customers and protect your business. 

Follow this guide to HVAC service contracts—you’ll learn what they should include and how to get your regular maintenance work scheduled and paid for.

What is an HVAC service contract?

An HVAC service contract (also called an HVAC maintenance agreement or maintenance contract) is an agreement between your HVAC business and a customer describing the ongoing HVAC maintenance services you’re offering.

This agreement outlines the terms of the service you’re offering, including the scope of work, frequency of maintenance visits, duration, payment terms, and other details about the service.

An HVAC contract tells your customers what to expect when they sign on to receive routine maintenance services from your field technicians.
