To the OP: I am signed up for the Silver Heat & AC Combo Plan with them. It's $229 a year (+tax, it's $245). That gets me ONE service call per year (1 heat service call OR 1 AC service call, not both), and a 15% discount on any heating repairs and a 15% discount on any AC repairs.
If you don't want to sign up for a service plan, an AC tune up costs $150, and a heating tune up costs $100.
brady--If your friend pays $240 per year for TWO service calls per year (1 heat servicing AND 1 AC servicing), that sounds like a better deal to me...I'd be interested as well. ETA: The Foremost guys I've been using are very good. They are very professional...from the guy that talks to you on the phone, to the guy that comes to your house. It really is a pleasure dealing with them. I just wanted to add that. However...if there is better pricing out there...money's kinda tight so...
Additional question:
Does anyone know how much it costs to get a dryer vent cleaned out?
I managed to get quotes from a few different contractors using ServiceMagic.com and the quotes range from $75 to $225 for a one-time heating service. I chose one (for around $120) as he seemed very knowledgable and had good reviews. He also accomodated me for weekend service. Let's see how it goes.
RE: the dryer vent--I got a letter from my HOA saying that everyone has to clean their dryer vent every 2 years...and they want proof that you did it. They included a list of professional contractors that do dryer vent cleaning. I think I have one of the units, though, that you're allowed to clean the vent yourself...but I've never done it before (and I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to "prove" that I did it). Oh well.
