Google reviewHVAC Maintenance Plans in Greater Jacksonville
Two precision tune-ups a year, 10% off repairs, and priority scheduling when every AC in the county fails at once.
Planned maintenance that pays for itself the first time a part fails
Florida air conditioners run seven to eight months a year, and the ones that make it to 15 years are the ones that get looked at twice a year. Our annual plan bundles a spring cooling tune-up and a fall heating tune-up with 10% off any repair and priority scheduling. Members across Greater Jacksonville and Nassau County skip the line during the peak weeks when the schedule fills up.
What We Offer
Priority Repair Access
Members go to the front of the scheduling queue. No waiting during the July weeks when every AC in Nassau County seems to fail at once. You also receive 10% off any repair, which often covers the cost of the plan in a single call.
No Surprise Replacements
Twice-a-year inspections mean you hear about a weakening compressor or a corroding coil a season or two before it fails. That turns a rushed emergency replacement into a planned one, with time to compare quotes and arrange FTL Finance if you need it.
What Is in a Fouraker Tune-Up
Not a five-minute filter swap. We clean evaporator and condenser coils, test capacitors under full load, verify refrigerant charge, measure static pressure, inspect every electrical connection, and clear the condensate drain. Every visit ends with a written report you can keep.
What's Included
- Two precision tune-ups per year (spring cooling, fall heating)
- 10% off any repair
- Priority scheduling, front of the line in peak season
- Written inspection report after every visit
- Reminder calls so you never miss a visit
- Covers heat pumps, straight-cool systems, and strip heat
Why twice-a-year maintenance matters in Florida
Nassau County systems run far more hours per year than the national average, and the wear shows up in predictable places.
- Dirty coils cut efficiency: Every month a fouled coil goes uncleaned, the system works harder for the same cooling and the bill goes up.
- Capacitors weaken in heat: A capacitor tested under load in April gets replaced on your schedule. One that fails in July takes the compressor with it on a Saturday.
- Drains clog in humidity: A condensate drain flushed in spring does not back up into your ceiling in August.
- Small leaks become big ones: A refrigerant charge checked twice a year catches a slow leak while it is still a repair.
Most of the emergency calls we run could have been prevented by the April tune-up that did not happen.
The spring visit: cooling prep
Scheduled in March or April, before the first 90-degree week.
- Clean the evaporator and condenser coils
- Test capacitors and contactors under load
- Verify refrigerant charge with gauges, not a guess
- Measure static pressure and check airflow
- Flush and treat the condensate drain
- Inspect the blower, fan blades, and motor bearings
- Tighten every electrical connection
The fall visit: heating prep
Scheduled in September or October, before the first cold snap.
- Test the reversing valve in both directions
- Run a forced defrost cycle and check the board and sensor
- Verify refrigerant charge in heating mode
- Test heat strips, sequencers, and limit switches under load
- Run the thermostat through a full heating cycle, including auxiliary
- Check the filter, blower wheel, and airflow
Who the plan is for
The plan makes the most sense for three kinds of homeowners.
- Anyone with a system over five years old: This is when capacitors, contactors, and drains start needing attention.
- Coastal homes: Salt air in Fernandina Beach, Yulee, and the beaches corrodes coils and terminals faster, so twice-a-year inspection catches it early.
- Rental and second homes: Property owners who are not there to notice a slow leak or a clogged drain until the damage is done.
New systems benefit too. The first two cooling seasons are when installation issues like a marginal charge or a duct leak show up, and documented maintenance keeps any warranty conversation simple.
What the written report tells you
Every tune-up ends with a one-page report, and it is the most useful thing the plan gives you.
- Measured numbers: Refrigerant pressures, capacitor readings against their rated value, static pressure, and temperature split at the vents, so you can see the trend from visit to visit.
- What was done: Coils cleaned, drain flushed, connections tightened, filter changed, and anything else the technician handled on the spot.
- What is coming: A capacitor reading 15% under its rating or a coil showing corrosion gets flagged with a plain-language note and a price, so you decide on your schedule.
- Equipment age and status: A running record of the system's condition that is useful when you sell the house or file a warranty claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service my AC in Northeast Florida?
Twice a year is the right cadence for our climate. Once in spring before cooling season and once in fall before heating season. Our plan bundles both visits.
Is a maintenance plan worth it?
For most homeowners in our service area, yes. Two visits plus 10% off repairs and priority scheduling typically pay for themselves the first time a part fails.
What does the plan cost?
Call (904) 945-5404 for current plan pricing. We will quote it per system, so homes with two units get a clear number for both.
Does the plan cover repairs?
The plan includes the two tune-up visits and a 10% discount on any repair. Parts and repair labor are quoted separately, in writing, before work starts.
Can I get a tune-up without joining the plan?
Yes. We offer single tune-ups as well. The plan simply bundles both seasonal visits with the repair discount and priority scheduling at a lower total cost.
Do you remind me when a visit is due?
Yes. We call to schedule your spring and fall visits so you never have to remember.
