Dear Homeowner,
In our combined 40 years of service, we have found many reasons for air conditioning failure. The single biggest reason is lack of maintenance. As compared to a car that only runs while you are in the seat, an air conditioner in the Florida Keys runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, approximately 9 months of the year. Car owners take their cars in for regular maintenance; oil changes, brakes, tune-ups, etc., but air conditioner owners generally do not give their units a second thought until they break down. We believe that with bi-annual maintenance, unit efficiency will increase while senseless breakdowns will decrease. For a very reasonable price, our maintenance agreement provides you with regular system up-keep. We will visit your home twice a year and perform the following :
1. Refrigerant Level check
2. Disconnect Switch inspection
3. Condenser Coil cleaning
4. Condensate Line clearing (We cannot guarantee that a foreign object will not re-clog the line.)
5. Starting Capabilities test
6. Measurement of Compressor Amp Draw to specifications
7. Electrical Motor Performance measurement
8. Measurement of capacitors to be within specifications
9. Safety Controls test
10. Inspection of main switching relay for arcing or pitting
11. Lubrication of motors as needed
12. Check and adjustment of thermostat calibration
13. Check and tightening of high voltage connections
14. Check and tightening of control wiring and connections
15. Check airflow
16. Check of air filter condition and size
17. Measurement for proper air temperature readings
18. Inspection of duct connections at unit
19. Inspection of piping to be free of vibration or wear
20. Check of outdoor fan motor bearing wear
21. Monitoring for proper operation
The agreement expires one year after the purchase date and includes two scheduled check-ups during that year. It also includes 10% off service bills & priority service. It is designed to meet or exceed all manufacturer and extended warranty requirements for system maintenance and surpasses the Federal Government Energy Star recommendations.
The price schedule PER HOUSEHOLD* is as follows:
One system…$250/year | Additional systems within same home : $125/each
Duplexes, Townhomes + Condos are priced individually with each considered a single-family unit
*This does NOT include mini split systems – if you have questions regarding mini-split maintenance, please contact our office.
**PLEASE NOTE:
Even though we will check/change filters during the planned maintenance visits, the homeowner is responsible for changing filters monthly.
While Drains are cleared during these visits, we cannot guarantee that the drain will not re-clog before your next scheduled visit.
It is ultimately the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure that drain line is checked and filters are changed monthly – per factory recommendations.
