Preventative Care & Protection
HVAC Maintenance & The RESA Service Agreement
Protect your cooling equipment against relentless South Alabama heat and costly breakdowns. Our Residential Energy Savings Agreement gives you comprehensive bi-annual tune-ups, priority service, and exclusive emergency access for just $14.99/mo.
Why Preventative AC Maintenance Matters
In Mobile and Baldwin counties, residential air conditioning systems operate under some of the most punishing climate conditions in the country.
Relentless Gulf Coast humidity and coastal salt air blowing off Mobile Bay place constant physical strain on outdoor cooling equipment. Without regular seasonal care, outdoor condenser coils quickly become choked with salt residue, dust, and lawn debris. When airflow across these coils is restricted, the system cannot reject heat effectively, forcing the compressor to work substantially harder and run hotter than intended.
Over time, this mechanical strain accelerates component wear, increases friction on motor bearings, and dramatically raises the risk of catastrophic cooling failures during peak summer heatwaves. While routine care extends equipment lifespan, older units facing recurring component failures and diminishing efficiency eventually reach the point where an AC replacement is the more practical long-term investment.
Exclusive RESA Member Benefits
Enrolling in the Residential Energy Savings Agreement provides dedicated protections designed to keep your home comfortable while shielding your household budget from unexpected mechanical emergencies.
Exclusive 24/7 After-Hours Dispatch
While standard service calls operate during normal business hours, 24-hour emergency repair is an exclusive benefit only accessible by signing up for the RESA plan. Members receive true 24/7 after-hours emergency dispatch when unexpected failures occur after hours or on weekends.

Front-of-the-Line Priority Scheduling
When high humidity drives peak service volume across Mobile and Baldwin counties, RESA members move straight to the front of the line. Your maintenance and service calls take priority, ensuring rapid technician dispatch when cooling demand is at its absolute highest.
Budget Protection at $14.99/mo
At just $14.99/mo, a RESA membership serves as an affordable money-saver compared to sudden breakdown costs. Regular precision maintenance catches worn components before they trigger cascading mechanical damage and costly emergency service bills.
What Our Bi-Annual Tune-Ups Include
RESA members receive two comprehensive, bi-annual precision tune-ups each year—one scheduled in the spring before heavy summer cooling, and one in the fall to prepare heating equipment for winter. Every visit includes thorough mechanical evaluations:
Checking Refrigerant Levels
Technicians measure operating pressures and subcooling or superheat levels to ensure accurate factory-specified refrigerant charge. Operating with incorrect refrigerant levels strains the compressor and severely degrades system efficiency.
Professional Coil Cleanings
We thoroughly clean condenser and evaporator coils to remove dirt, pollen, and coastal salt buildup, restoring proper thermal heat transfer. Clean coils also support healthier airflow and complement dedicated indoor air quality solutions throughout your living spaces.
Testing Electrical Capacitors
Our technicians test motor start and run capacitors under load to verify capacitance microfarad ratings. Weak or out-of-spec capacitors are leading causes of motor failure and compressor lockup during high-heat operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding preventative maintenance, warranty preservation, and the RESA membership plan.
Why is preventative AC maintenance so important in South Alabama?
In Mobile and Baldwin counties, your air conditioner runs nearly year-round against brutal humidity and coastal salt air. Without regular cleaning, condenser coils get choked with debris, forcing the compressor to work harder. According to Energy Star’s maintenance guidelines, a simple yearly tune-up can significantly improve your system’s efficiency, lower your monthly power bills, and prevent catastrophic failures during the peak of summer.
What is included in the $14.99/mo RESA Maintenance Plan?
The Residential Energy Savings Agreement (RESA) is our premier maintenance program. It includes two comprehensive, bi-annual precision tune-ups (one for cooling, one for heating), professional coil cleanings, and priority scheduling. Most importantly, RESA members gain exclusive access to our true 24/7 after-hours emergency dispatch service.
Does lack of maintenance void my HVAC warranty?
Yes, it frequently does. Major manufacturers like Carrier, Trane, and Goodman require proof of professional, annual maintenance to keep their 10-year parts warranties valid. If a compressor fails due to a lack of basic maintenance, the manufacturer can deny the warranty claim. Our RESA plan ensures your system stays fully compliant with all Carrier warranty requirements.
How often should I schedule an HVAC tune-up?
The industry standard is twice a year: once in the spring before the heavy cooling season begins, and once in the fall to prepare your furnace or heat pump for winter. Our RESA plan automates this process for you, so you never have to remember to schedule your tune-ups.
