What Is a Home AMC?
An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) is a yearly subscription for regular home maintenance services. Instead of calling a technician only when something breaks, you get scheduled preventive maintenance plus priority service for emergencies.
JoyRepair offers three AMC plans: Basic, Standard, and Premium — designed for different home sizes and maintenance needs.
AMC vs On-Demand: The Numbers
Let's compare costs for a typical 2BHK apartment in Bangalore:
| Expense | On-Demand | AMC (Basic) | AMC (Standard) |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC Service (2x/year) | ₹1,996 | Included | Included |
| Geyser Service (1x/year) | ₹399 | Included | Included |
| Plumbing (2 visits) | ₹798 | ₹598 | Included |
| Electrical (1 visit) | ₹499 | ₹374 | Included |
| Annual Cost | ₹3,692 | ₹2,999 | ₹4,999 |
| Savings | — | Save ₹693 | If 4+ services used |
When On-Demand Makes More Sense
- You only need 1-2 services per year
- Your home is new (< 3 years old)
- You're comfortable with occasional wait times
- You have a trusted local technician
When AMC Is the Better Choice
- Your home is 5+ years old (more maintenance needed)
- You have multiple appliances (AC, geyser, water purifier)
- You want preventive maintenance to avoid breakdowns
- You value priority service and faster response times
- You want discounted rates on additional services
- You want warranty on services — Smart Care and Premium Care plans include extended warranty

The Real Value: Prevention Over Repair
The biggest benefit of an AMC isn't the discounts — it's prevention. Regular maintenance catches problems early:
- AC gas leak detected early → ₹500 fix vs ₹3,000+ if it causes compressor failure
- Geyser anode rod checked → prevents tank corrosion and replacement
- Plumbing joints inspected → prevents water damage worth ₹10,000+
