What’s Included in an AC Maintenance Plan? Your Florida Guide to Complete Home Comfort
More Than Just a Filter Change
When most Florida homeowners hear the words "AC maintenance," they often picture a technician swapping out an air filter and heading out the door. But if you're enrolled in a quality HVAC maintenance plan like the Reel Rewards Club from Reel Cool AC and Heating, there's much more going on behind the scenes.
A comprehensive AC maintenance plan isn’t just about keeping your air conditioner running—it’s about protecting your comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term investment. In this blog, we’ll walk you through exactly what’s included in a professional AC maintenance plan and why every homeowner in St. Augustine, Palatka, or anywhere in Florida should take advantage of this smart service.
Why Is AC Maintenance So Important in Florida?
Florida homes depend heavily on air conditioning nearly year-round. With our hot, humid summers and frequent storms, HVAC systems here endure more stress than in most parts of the country. Routine service helps prevent unexpected breakdowns during extreme heat, ensures cleaner indoor air, and significantly reduces energy consumption.
What Comes with an AC Maintenance Plan?
Here’s a detailed look at what you get when you sign up for the Reel Rewards Club maintenance plan:
1. Spring and Fall Tune-Ups
Spring Tune-Up: Prepares your AC system for the heat. We check refrigerant levels, clean evaporator and condenser coils, inspect all electrical components, and ensure your system is running efficiently.
Fall Tune-Up: For homes with a furnace or heat pump, this service ensures heating components are safe and reliable.
2. Comprehensive System Inspection
Examine blower components, duct connections, and airflow
Measure voltage and amperage on motors and compressors
Check for refrigerant leaks or signs of wear and tear
3. Coil Cleaning
Dirty coils can reduce cooling efficiency by 30%. We remove dust and debris to maximize airflow and energy performance.
4. Thermostat Calibration
Ensure accurate readings and effective temperature control, especially for homes with smart thermostats.
5. Condensate Drain Line Flushing
Prevents clogs that can lead to water damage and system shutdowns. A clean drain line keeps moisture moving out of your home.
6. Air Filter Replacement (or Check)
We inspect filters and replace them if necessary. Clean filters help trap dust, pet dander, and allergens while improving airflow.
7. Safety Control Testing
From capacitors to contactors, we make sure your system’s electrical components are safe, reliable, and within operational parameters.
8. Lubrication of Moving Parts
Reduces wear and tear on fans and motors, extending system life and improving energy efficiency.
9. Tightening Electrical Connections
Loose wires can cause shorts, damage components, or reduce system reliability. We make sure every connection is secure.
10. Priority Scheduling & Exclusive Discounts
Members of our Reel Rewards Club receive front-of-the-line service, exclusive discounts on repairs, and seasonal promotions.
Optional Add-Ons Depending on Your System:
Smart thermostat troubleshooting
Ductless mini-split system inspection
Heat pump performance check
