Keep your system healthy
Simple things you can do yourself between visits.
Check your air filter
A clogged filter restricts airflow. Check it regularly and replace it when it is dirty.
Keep the outdoor unit clear
Trim plants back and keep leaves and debris away from the unit so air can move through it.
Watch the drain
Water around the indoor unit or a clogged drain line is a warning sign. Call before it turns into water damage.
Keep the thermostat steady
Pick a comfortable setting and leave it there instead of making big swings.
Notice small changes
A new noise, weaker airflow or a higher electric bill usually means something is changing.
Get it checked before the season
Maintenance is $125 per system, flat rate. Filters are priced separately.
Keep the cold chain unbroken
A cooler that fails on a busy night costs product and sales. A few habits catch problems early.
If a unit is already warming up, see what to do right now on our commercial refrigeration page.
Easy habits
- Write down cooler and freezer temperatures regularly
- Do not block airflow inside the walk-in
- Keep the area around condensers clear
- Have ice machines cleaned on a regular schedule
- Call at the first sign of trouble, not after product is lost
Before and after a storm
Citrus County gets its share of storms. These steps protect your equipment.
Before: if flooding is expected, turn the system off
Turn it off at the thermostat and at the breaker.
Before: clear loose items
Move anything loose away from the outdoor unit so it does not get thrown into it.
After: if the outdoor unit was underwater, do not run it
Leave it off and call us to look at it first.
After: wait for steady power
Power surges as the lights come back can damage a system. Restart once power is steady.
