KANKAKEE, IL – May 01, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Goodberlet Home Services, a family-owned home services company with more than 43 years of experience serving residential and commercial customers across Chicagoland and Indiana, has announced an expanded push for enrollment in its Preventative Maintenance Agreement program as the region moves into the spring and summer season. The initiative is designed to give homeowners a structured path to maintaining their HVAC systems while securing consistent service pricing ahead of peak demand periods.
The Preventative Maintenance Agreement, known within the company as the PMA, provides enrolled customers with scheduled system check-ups that include routine cleaning, lubrication, inspections, and access to emergency repair services, all organized within a single inclusive package. Goodberlet has positioned the program as a proactive alternative to the reactive service model that many homeowners default to, in which maintenance is deferred until a system failure occurs during periods of high demand.
“Spring is the right time for homeowners to think ahead about their cooling systems,” said Rick Jensen, Operations Manager at Goodberlet Home Services. “When summer arrives and temperatures climb, service demand increases significantly across the region. Customers who are already enrolled in the PMA have their maintenance scheduled, their systems inspected, and their service relationship established before any of that pressure sets in. It puts them in a much better position than waiting for something to go wrong.”
Goodberlet serves more than 15,000 customers annually across its service areas and holds a range of industry certifications, including recognition as a Lennox Premier Dealer, a designation reflecting elite-level equipment and warranty support. The company also holds an A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau and received the 2024 Quality Business Award. Its technicians are licensed and insured across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical disciplines, and the company maintains 24-hour emergency service availability for customers requiring immediate assistance outside of standard business hours.
The PMA program is one of two membership offerings available through Goodberlet. The company also operates the Good Guys Club, a membership tier that provides enrolled customers with access to priority services and preferred rates on qualifying parts and services. Together, the two programs reflect Goodberlet’s broader effort to move customer relationships beyond individual service calls and toward ongoing home maintenance partnerships.
Jensen noted that the timing of the announcement reflects patterns the company has observed across its service area over the course of its 43-year history. HVAC systems that go without routine maintenance through the winter months are more likely to encounter performance issues when cooling demand increases in summer, and the backlog of service requests during peak periods can extend wait times for customers without an existing service relationship.
Goodberlet operates out of three locations, with its headquarters in Kankakee, Illinois and additional offices serving the Chicagoland area from Oakbrook Terrace and Indiana customers from Muncie. The company’s service model is built around a single-provider approach, giving residential and commercial customers access to HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services through one team rather than requiring separate contractors for each discipline. According to Goodberlet, this structure reduces the coordination burden on homeowners and allows the company to maintain a more complete picture of each property’s service history.
Financing options are also available for customers whose home service needs involve unexpected expenses, providing flexible payment arrangements that allow work to proceed without requiring full payment upfront. The availability of financing is part of Goodberlet’s stated commitment to making home services accessible to a broad range of customers across its service area.
Homeowners interested in enrolling in the Preventative Maintenance Agreement program ahead of the summer season are encouraged to reach out to Goodberlet directly. The company has indicated that spring enrollment allows the most lead time for scheduling inspections and establishing service plans before cooling season demand increases across the region.
