The Florida AC maintenance schedule that actually holds
A northern maintenance plan is one visit in spring. A Central Florida plan is two, because the cooling season is most of the year.
Twice a year, not once
Coils load up, drains slime over, and capacitors drift while the system is running nine months out of twelve. A spring visit and a second visit before the heaviest stretch catch that. TXT Home Services' maintenance is a 52-point inspection with a written report, not a filter wave.
The only homeowner job
Change the filter every one to three months. Sooner if it looks dirty. Everything past that — refrigerant, capacitors, heat strips, blower amps — belongs to a technician.
Warranty fine print
Manufacturers expect the system to be maintained to their specs, the same way a car warranty expects oil changes. If you ever have to use the warranty, a record of visits is what makes the conversation short.
