HVAC Maintenance That Actually Prevents Breakdowns
South Florida AC systems run ~8 months a year. Skipped maintenance is the #1 cause of mid-summer breakdowns and warranty denials. We do it properly — twice a year.
A 22-point tune-up, not a 10-minute drive-by.
A real tune-up takes 60–90 minutes per system. If yours took 15 minutes and the tech never touched the outdoor coil, it wasn't a tune-up — it was a sales visit. Here's what we actually do on every Comfort Club visit:
Outdoor unit (condenser)
- Full coil wash with no-rinse coil cleaner (critical in salt-air homes)
- Capacitor microfarad test against rated value
- Contactor pitting and amp-draw inspection
- Refrigerant pressure and superheat/subcool verification
- Fan motor amp draw and blade balance check
- Electrical disconnect, whip, and grounding inspection
Indoor unit (air handler)
- Evaporator coil inspection (and cleaning if needed)
- Blower wheel inspection and cleaning
- Condensate drain line flush with EPA-safe biocide treatment
- Overflow safety float switch test
- Filter replacement (Comfort Club members)
- Heat strip continuity and sequencer test
- Thermostat calibration and cycle verification
Comfort Club membership
Two annual tune-ups, priority dispatch, no overtime fees, 15% off all repairs. The math pays for itself the first repair you avoid.
Warranty protection
Documented service report after every visit — required by most manufacturers to keep your parts warranty valid.
Lower energy bills
A clean coil and proper refrigerant charge cut cooling costs 10–20%. We've measured it on hundreds of Palm Beach County homes.
Catch problems early
Weak capacitor caught in spring is a $35 part. Same capacitor failing in August at midnight is a $350 emergency call.
Extended equipment life
Properly maintained systems routinely last 15+ years in salt-air conditions. Neglected ones often fail at 7–8.
Same crew every visit
Your tech knows your system, your home, and your history. Continuity matters.
