For most St. Augustine homes, yes. Wright Brothers’ Premier Maintenance Plan is $259.95 a year for one system or $359.95 for two, and it covers a spring AC tune-up and a fall heat pump and heating check. That matches ENERGY STAR’s advice to check cooling in the spring and heating in the fall. Plans are billed per year (semi-annual or monthly billing available with a card on file).

What does an HVAC maintenance plan actually cover?

With Wright Brothers, the Premier Maintenance Plan covers two scheduled visits: a spring AC tune-up and a fall heat pump and heating check. Here’s what actually happens when a tech shows up. Each plan visit is the same full tune-up plus coil cleaning as the $179.95 one-time visit.

What gets inspected during a maintenance visit?

Every Wright Brothers visit includes checking running pressures and a full evaluation of the system. The basic tune-up checks electrical components and connections. Coil cleaning is part of the $179.95 full tune-up and every Premier plan visit, not the basic $89.99 visit. Techs carry basic parts on the truck, so most repairs get finished in one visit.

How many tune-ups does a St. Augustine system need?

Two checkups, one per season. ENERGY STAR recommends checking your cooling system in the spring and your heating system in the fall. That’s exactly how the Premier plan is set up. If you’re on the fence about the fall visit, our post on whether you really need a heating tune-up in Florida walks through it.

Is an HVAC maintenance plan worth it in St. Augustine?

Yes, an HVAC maintenance plan is worth it in St. Augustine. ENERGY STAR says dirt and neglect are the top causes of heating and cooling system failure and inefficiency. A plan puts both of ENERGY STAR’s recommended checkups on the calendar, so you don’t have to remember to book them yourself.

Why does the fall heating check matter in Northeast Florida?

If your home heats with a heat pump, the same system that kept you cool all summer keeps you warm on chilly nights. The fall visit checks that system before the first cold snaps hit. If you’ve ever wondered why a heat pump can blow cool air in winter, that’s worth a read too.

Who gets the most out of a plan?

A plan makes the most sense for homeowners who want both seasons covered without thinking about it. It’s also a good fit for homes with a heat pump that runs year-round, and for homes with two systems, since the 2-system plan runs $359.95.

Between visits, replacing or cleaning your filter can lower your AC’s energy use by 5 to 15 percent.

How much does an HVAC maintenance plan cost in St. Augustine?

Here’s what Wright Brothers charges, plain and simple:

  • One Time Tune Up, $89.99: a tune-up and inspection that checks electrical components and connections. No cleaning included.
  • Full tune-up and cleaning, $179.95: everything in the basic tune-up, plus coil cleaning, one time.
  • Premier Maintenance Plan, 1 system, $259.95 per year: a spring AC tune-up and a fall heat pump and heating check, each a full tune-up with coil cleaning.
  • Premier Maintenance Plan, 2 systems, $359.95 per year: the same two full tune-ups with coil cleaning, covering two systems.

Running pressures and a full evaluation happen on every visit, no matter which option you choose.

Here’s the math: two one-time full tune-ups with cleaning would cost $359.90 ($179.95 each). The 1-system Premier plan covers those same two visits for $259.95 a year, so you save about $100 a year.

Plan or one-time visit: which makes sense for you?

If you just want a tune-up and inspection with an electrical check, and you don’t need cleaning, the $89.99 One Time Tune Up fits. It covers the basics and gets your system looked over.

Want that plus coil cleaning, one time? The $179.95 full tune-up and cleaning covers everything in the basic visit, plus the coils.

If you’d rather have both seasons on the schedule, a spring AC tune-up and a fall heat pump and heating check, the Premier Maintenance Plan fits. It’s $259.95 a year for one system or $359.95 for two, and each visit is a full tune-up with coil cleaning. Booking those same two visits one at a time would run $359.90, so the 1-system plan saves you about $100 a year.

No matter which option you pick, every visit includes running pressures and a full evaluation of your system.

What can you do between visits?

You don’t have to wait for your next visit to help your system along. The U.S. Department of Energy suggests three simple habits: replace or clean your air filters on a regular schedule, check that your unit’s drain isn’t clogged, and hire a certified professional when your unit needs more than basic maintenance. That last one is where we come in. We’re a Florida Certified Air Conditioning Contractor, so if something looks off between visits, give us a call.
