Yes, we strongly recommend you do so. The Maintenance plan is not about warranty or extended warranty, it is about all the costs around the warranty. A close analogy would be choosing to have a courtesy car as part of your service from your insurance if your car is not available until it is fixed. One thing is to have insurance, and another altogether to cover the costs until something is fixed under a policy. Though this is not exactly the same, it surely illustrates the point.
If your meter is under warranty, the meter will be replaced or repaired for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase. The swap of a meter under warranty does not cover the removal of the current meter, the installation of a new meter and the time lapse until such time as the meter is replaced. All this add to funds lost in utilities and call out fees. This can be easily resolved with the Maintenance Plan.
From years of experience, we also found that meter owners pay unnecessarily for callouts because meter users cannot explain the problem at hand only for the technician to find that there really isn't a problem. The Maintenance plan covers callouts and reduces your cost.
As the installer comes to the property, they will remove, repair, replace, activate and credit new meter all at the same time. There will be no lapse in time from arrival of the installer to resolving the problem.
In simple words, once you have the Maintenance Plan you don’t need to worry about callout costs, meter replacements and installations ever again.
