How to Choose the Right Annual Maintenance Contract

An AMC should reduce your maintenance headaches, not add fine print you need a lawyer to interpret. Start by confirming exactly which systems are covered — electrical, plumbing, and AC are standard, but check for exclusions.

Ask how many preventive visits are included per year, what the response time guarantee is for emergencies, and whether parts are included or billed separately.

Finally, confirm the contract is transferable if you sell or lease the property, and check for any auto-renewal clauses before you sign.
