Unglamorous, and the highest-return thing you can do for a system in this climate. Most of what fails in July was findable in April.

What a visit includes.
Twice-yearly service that catches small faults before they become July breakdowns.
Booked in advance, spring for cooling and fall for heating.
- Spring cooling tune-up and fall heating tune-up
- Coil condition, drain lines and electrical components checked
- Refrigerant charge and airflow verified
- Filter guidance matched to your home, not a generic interval
A documented record of your system's condition visit to visit, so replacement is a planned decision rather than an emergency one.
The estimate is free and written. Plan options and pricing confirmed with you directly — ask us what the plan covers for your system.
A filter, before and after.
A badly clogged filter causes most of what looks like equipment failure: the air cannot get through, so nothing downstream of it works properly. Drag the handle across.
Most homes need a change every one to three months — pets, allergies and the type of filter all shorten it.

What a visit actually covers
Coil condition, because a fouled coil cannot reject heat and quietly costs you capacity long before anything breaks. Refrigerant charge and airflow, measured rather than assumed. Electrical components, which drift out of tolerance well before they fail outright — a capacitor reading low is a July breakdown you can see coming in April.
And the condensate drain, which deserves naming separately in a humid climate. It blocks more often here than almost anywhere, because the system pulls more water out of the air. A blocked one trips the float switch and shuts the system down without warning, and in the meantime it can put water somewhere expensive.
Why twice a year
A cooling tune-up in spring and a heating check in autumn. In a climate with a long cooling season and a short heating one, the spring visit is the one that earns its keep on pure economics.
The autumn check earns its keep differently. It is what stops the first genuinely cold night turning into an emergency call — which is precisely when every other household in the county is making one.
The part most homeowners do not have
A record of how your system is trending, visit to visit. Charge slowly dropping, a capacitor drifting, static pressure creeping up as ducts age — none of these announce themselves, and none of them are visible in a single snapshot.
That record is what turns replacement into a planned decision made in March, with time to get quotes and think, rather than an emergency one made in August with the house at ninety degrees.

Symptoms this fixes.
Each page covers the usual causes, what you can safely check yourself, and when it is time to call.
Air conditioner not cooling, not starting, freezing up, leaking or making noise.
- AC running but not coolingAn air conditioner can run without cooling properly when airflow is restricted, the indoor coil has frozen, a component has failed, or the refrigerant charge is low because of a leak.
- AC won't turn onWhen an air conditioner won't turn on at all, the cause is usually power, the thermostat, a safety switch that has shut the system off (often a full condensate drain), or a failed electrical component such as a capacitor or contactor.
- AC frozen / iced upIce on an air conditioner's copper lines or indoor coil almost always means the coil is getting too cold — usually because airflow across it is restricted, or because the refrigerant charge is low from a leak.
- AC leaking waterAn air conditioner leaking water indoors is usually a blocked condensate drain, an overflowing or cracked drain pan, or a frozen coil melting.
- Outdoor unit not runningIf the indoor fan is blowing but the outdoor unit isn't running, the house gets moving air without cooling.
- AC making a noiseA new noise from an air conditioner usually points to a specific part.

What is different about this work depending on where you are — the housing stock is not the same in Pooler as it is on Hilton Head.
Questions we get asked.
- Is a maintenance plan actually worth it?
- For most homeowners in this climate, yes — plans prevent breakdowns, hold efficiency and extend equipment life, often saving more than the plan costs. We would rather tell you honestly if your situation does not suit one than sign you up regardless.
- How often should I change my filter?
- Most homes need a change every one to three months. That range is wide for a reason: pets, allergies, a dusty environment and a restrictive filter type all shorten it. We would rather recommend an interval for your house than repeat a generic number.
- What do the plans cost and what do they include?
- Ask us — plan options and pricing are confirmed with you directly rather than published, because what a plan should cover depends on the system you have.
- Does maintenance really extend equipment life?
- It is the single biggest factor in where a system lands in the usual 12-to-20-year range. Coils foul, drains block, charge drops and electrical components drift, and none of it announces itself until the system fails on the hottest day of the year.
