Why Do I Need to Keep Up With Preventative Maintenance?

I always get asked, "Jessica, why do I need to put my air conditioning equipment on a maintenance contract?"

Simply put, why wouldn't you? Living in Florida means it's hot pretty much every day of the year — and your air conditioner never shuts off — just about every six months your drain line starts to get really funky — check out these pictures:

Gross, right? I know. All this sludge is why your AC unit shuts off. If the water can't drain out of your pan — the unit will not turn on. This growth only needs 3 to 6 months to block things off and ruin your whole weekend!

Routine maintenance of your Air Conditioning System is something you should not overlook.

Annual or Semi-annual Preventative Maintenance can:

• Reduce equipment breakdowns
• Prolong equipment life
• Save money on electric bills
• Improve indoor air quality
• Provide peace of mind with continuous comfort
• Conserve natural resources

Our customer service specialists can arrange a 27-point equipment check-up. It takes only 45-60 minutes per system and can be scheduled for your convenience Monday-Friday. Available for your full-time residence, vacation home, rental property or office.
