Extend the Life of your Heating and Cooling System With Preventive Maintenance

Replace AC or Fix

The A/C guy probably isn’t the first person you want on your speed dial. But a friendly, seasonal preventive maintenance visit can extend the life of your system and save you on unnecessary repairs down the line.

So What is Preventive Maintenance?

Just like you wash and wax your car to preserve your paint job, and change the oil to keep the engine running smoothly, you should schedule preventive maintenance checks to keep your heating and cooling equipment running like new. It’s not only good for your system, it’s good for you, too, because you’ll save energy dollars and enjoy enhanced home comfort!

What does the technician actually do during a preventive maintenance visit? Well, as you can imagine, there’s a lot going on “under the hood” of your heating and cooling system. And while much of it is too technical and boring to cover in great detail, each part and process has to be just right for your system to run efficiently.

Some of the items your technician will check include:

  • Refrigerant charge
  • Fan and compressor
  • Condenser coil
  • Capacitors
  • Contractor points
  • Thermostat and mounting
  • Blower
  • Circuit components
  • Temperature switch
  • Float switch and its operation

If anything on the checklist isn’t functioning properly, or if your tech spots a problem on the horizon, you’ll learn about it during this preventive maintenance visit. That way, these problems can be addressed long before they compromise your comfort and safety, and before they cause expensive damage to your system.

In addition to this system checkup, your technician will perform a few routine maintenance tasks to keep your system efficient until the next visit. These include:

  • Brushing out the electrical cabinet
  • Changing the air filter
  • Lubricating all moving parts
  • Flushing and vacuuming the drain line and pan to evaluate drainage
  • Cleaning the exterior of the equipment

Should You Have a Preventive Maintenance Agreement?

If you’re like most people, you only think about your heating and cooling system once it breaks down. No one means to neglect their air conditioner, but these things are easily forgotten as you enjoy the beautiful Orlando weather.  With an annual preventive maintenance agreement, we keep track of when your system is due for its checkup so you don’t have to, and we’ll give you a call when it’s time to schedule your maintenance visits.

Our maintenance agreement comes with a host of additional benefits, including:

  • Two maintenance checks annually
  • Reduced diagnostic costs on service calls
  • 15 percent discount on parts
  • $150 off replacing your system

It’s nice to have peace of mind all year, knowing that you’ll receive a discount should anything need repaired or replaced during your annual maintenance plan.

So if you need to schedule a preventive maintenance visit, or if you have any other questions related to heating and cooling, please give us a call! Scott’s Heating & Air Conditioning proudly serves Orlando and the entire central Florida area, and we’d love to hear from you!

Oh my god what an amazing company! I literally called one hour ago and said that my thermostat wasn’t working and there was a knock on my door within the hour! They told us what to do to fix it therefore saving us a $600 bill. They came right away, none of that we can see you in 48 hour junk. Amazing.

They were able to provide me with same day service, friendly and very responsive. Also, I got 2 other quotes and the pricing was the most competitive.
So thankful and impressed! My dad returned home after having open heart surgery to a completely dead HVAC system in the middle of summer. Definitely not ideal. The repair was going to be pricey so he opted for a new unit. A crew came out on a Saturday and did a very clean and efficient install. Highly recommend this company!!!

Very professional, work very neat and cleaned up and removed stuff. Very impressed with all of the staff and the company.
Our AC decided to quit during one of the hottest heatwaves in years. We called Scott's and someone was at the house to give us a quote in 30 min. From the moment they answered our first phone call through the install everyone was amazing, professional and provided a quality product and excellent service. Craig, Jose, Dexter were awesome! One of the new guys brought us a portable unit at 9:30 PM on a Friday so we could sleep. We missed his name, but shout out to him as well (he likes to give high fives). Thanks Scott and team for everything. We highly recommend!!!

For the past week I've worked with Craig on getting estimates for a new A/C unit, and he has been great at answering my questions and addressing any concerns. Very responsive and knowledgeable, straight shooter and direct! I didn't have to deal with any up-selling like working with a used car salesman (I experienced that with other bigger local A/C companies providing quotes). For these qualities alone I would recommend Scott's A/C, even though I will disclose that we ultimately went with another quote from a family referral of an A/C company. Had that family referral not been apart of our consideration, we would definitely choose and recommend Scott's for new A/C installs and service!

We can't thank Scott's enough. We came home to a air conditioner barely limping along. I called Scott's first thing in the morning and they had a technician out that day. Unfortunately our system could not be saved. The salesman Craig came out that day as well and quoted a new system. Since it was a Friday we could not get the system installed until Tuesday. Scott's provided us with a portable system which definitely helped during the grueling heat wave in Central Florida. Tuesday came, the installers showed up on time and did an awesome installation job. Cleaned everything up and went on their way. Everyone was pleasant, professional and great to work with! Thank You Scott's Heating & Cooling!

Always happy with their response time. Issue started last night causing our A/C unit to shut down. Made a call to Scott's Heating and Air in the morning and a tech was here by 10:45am. Tyrie, the tech, is awesome. He quickly took care of the problem and had us up and running in no time at all. He is knowledgeable and professional and did a great job.
Perfect company to do business with. Professional and courteous in all phases of project.

Excellent response and service. After 25 years of being serviced by a competitor I decided to change companies. AC was out and in need of replacement. Within 24 hours we had the sales rep here and new unit going in for a reasonable expense. No upselling, phony money savings, or timeshare presentations- just a new system without being targeted and pressured into pricey newer technology that will also become obsolete and non reparable every system cycle. I’m recommending to everyone looking for a new provider

Scott’s saved the day for us this evening. Our A/C stopped working and it got hot inside quickly, which was more complicated because I’m 36 weeks pregnant. Scott’s was responsive to our call and within two hours someone had come and fixed our unit!
