For many, homeownership is a source of pride. But when the heat goes out on the coldest night or the AC quits during a summer scorcher, pride quickly turns to panic.
That’s where Cardinal Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric comes in. By joining the Cardinal Care Club, homeowners can take a proactive, stress-free approach to upkeep for the systems that make their homes run.
Getting proactive
As crucial as appliances like heaters, air conditioners and water heaters are, they are often an afterthought for many homeowners.
“Most people treat their cars better than their furnaces or water heaters,” said Andrew Bontz, marketing manager at Cardinal. “They’ll change the oil regularly to make the car last, but when it comes to home systems that cost thousands of dollars, maintenance gets kicked down the road.”
The Cardinal Care Club changes that. For just $20 a month, members receive annual tune-ups for heating and cooling systems. The preventative-maintenance approach to device care helps extend the life of costly equipment while catching minor issues before they turn into emergencies. And because Cardinal schedules appointments for members, you don’t have to remember a thing.
Major savings
With options for yearly maintenance on heating, cooling, plumbing and electric, the Cardinal Care Club offers members excellent value and elite service. Annually the Cardinal Care Club delivers more than $1,000 in benefits — in addition to the savings gained by extending the performance and lifespan of your equipment — for a fraction of the cost.
Membership includes:
- Two free annual HVAC system checks (one heating, one cooling)
- No dispatch fees
- Priority scheduling during peak seasons
- Automated scheduling so you never miss a checkup
- A two-year warranty on HVAC repairs completed by Cardinal (compared with 30 days for nonmembers)
- Exclusive discounts, including a 10% discount on service repairs and 5% off (up to $600 off purchases) of HVAC equipment replacement parts
What does this value look like in action? The cost of membership can be less than the cost of a single maintenance call for a non-member.
Four decades of excellence
The Cardinal Care Club is the latest innovation from a company that has been serving the Madison area more than 40 years.
The company’s commitment to service is evident with the results of Madison.com’s 2025 People’s Choice Awards. Cardinal was voted as a top-three option in all categories related to HVAC and electric.
“To be recognized as one of the top three companies in these categories is a big deal,” Bontz said. “It’s a testament to the training, the mindset of ownership, and the 170 families of employees who live and work here. To be recognized by a reputable source like Madison.com and voted so highly by our customers, that’s something we are extremely grateful for.”
Cardinal’s reputation is built on quality, professionalism and trust. Customers get text alerts with a technician’s photo and bio, a clean truck shows up in the driveway and technicians slip on protective booties before entering the home.
“It’s the little things that make customers feel comfortable,” Bontz said. “From the first call to the finished job, the experience sets us apart.”
