Colorado Springs is a city in the state of Colorado at the eastern foot of the Rocky Mountains. Colorado Springs has a semi-arid climate and its location just east of the Rocky Mountains permits a fast warming influence from chinook winds during winter with drastic daily variability in weather conditions. Varying weather patterns means extended use of Colorado Springs home systems and appliances like the central A/C unit, central heating, and electrical system. Long-term use of appliances and systems in homes can be a risk for normal wear and tear causing unexpected mechanical breakdowns. For this reason, it is recommended that all homeowners sign up for home service agreements in Colorado Springs.
Colorado Springs has abundant sunshine year-round, averaging 243 sunny days per year, and receives about 16 inches of precipitation annually. The city is one of the most active lightning strike areas in the United States. Summers are warm, with July averaging 71°F and 18 days of 90°F+ highs annually. Due to the high elevation and aridity, nights are usually relatively cool. Winters range from mild to moderately cold, with December, the coldest month averaging 3°F. A semi-arid climate means extra wear and tear on home appliances and systems. If your central heating system, central A/C unit, or electrical system experiences a mechanical failure due to normal wear and tear, having protection from an expensive repair or replacement is essential because a delay can make living conditions in the home very uncomfortable for everyone, and even unsafe.
One of the best ways to protect home appliances and systems in Colorado Springs is to obtain a Home Service Agreement that’s flexible, affordable, and from a trusted provider such as American Residential Warranty. A home service agreement helps protect homeowners from the high costs of unforeseen mechanical failures of their covered appliances and home systems, and the plan provides licensed, pre-screened, prequalified service technicians to assess the situation. If the issue is due to normal wear and tear or mechanical failure and it is a covered item, then the appliance or system will be repaired or replaced within the terms and conditions of the plan. For covered repairs the homeowner will only have to pay a nominal service fee of $55 in most cases.
