Maintenance
You can have your Air Conditioner run at a lower cost if you keep up to date on maintenance. Yes, it is very important to change filters regularly. How often? Standard filters should be changed monthly during the cooling season. The next issue is a Florida thing, drainline algae. Drain line clogs are the most common service call we get. Wet/dry vacuuming your drain line monthly can also avoid a service call and system downtime.
Tuneup/Preventive Maintenance
Whether you are on our maintenance plan an and we call you bi-annually to set your appiontment, or you call us for a yearly tune-up, we give our full service and attention to every call. Air Conditioners are a complex system of electrical, plumbing, construction, chemistry, and physics. All of these must sorted out for your best experience. Make sure you mention to your service tech if you noticed anything out of the ordinary.
