An AMC is an Annual Maintenance Contract that provides regular maintenance and servicing for your water heater.
The coverage of an AMC for a water heating system typically includes regular inspections, cleaning of components, checking and adjusting temperature settings, testing safety features, and addressing any minor repairs or replacements needed.
An AMC ensures the proper functioning and longevity of your system. It helps identify and address potential issues before they become major problems, ensures energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of the system.
The duration of an AMC for a water heating system is usually for one year. However, some providers may offer longer-term contracts.
The cost of an AMC can vary based on factors such as the type of system, its capacity, and the level of coverage provided. It’s best to inquire with different service providers for pricing details.
