What’s included in a Total Comfort maintenance plan

The quick answer

A Total Comfort maintenance plan includes two visits a year, one at the start of winter and one at the start of summer. Your technician tests the system in both heating and cooling, checks electrical amp draws and refrigerant pressures, cleans the coils, cabinet and blower, flushes the drain line and waxes the outdoor unit. Members also get priority service when the calls pile up.

“Our HVAC systems are just as important as the vehicles we drive. You routinely maintain your car, so you want to do the same thing for your air conditioner. Our home is our castle, and we want to be comfortable in it.”

Jason Healy, Operations Manager

Two visits, timed for Florida

Florida systems run hard in cooling most of the year, and heat only a few weeks. Timing matters.

“We set those up once at the beginning of winter and once at the beginning of summer. That way we can test the system, run it through all its operations, and make sure that when you go to run it in heat, or in cool after the winter, it’s running correctly.”

The full checklist

Electrical checks

Amp draws on all the components, so a weak part is caught before it fails.

Refrigerant pressures

Gauges on the system to make sure pressures are where they should be.

A real cleaning

Outdoor coils, the inside cabinet, the blower, the evaporator coil and the condensing coil. Then we wax the outdoor unit.

Drain line flush

Clogged drains are our biggest service call all year. We flush yours with nitrogen and clear it from outside with a shop vac.

Heat and cool tested

We run the system through all of its operations, including the switch to heat, so it’s ready before the season changes.

Indoor air quality check

Our techs are trained to spot indoor air quality issues, which matters if anyone at home has allergies or is sensitive to odors.

No bait-and-switch

“What makes ours stick out more than others, it’s not about price. It’s about the training. It’s about the understanding of the system. And when we go out, we don’t bait and switch. Our techs are trained to go out there, clean the unit and make sure it’s optimized for the customer.”
