No heat? No problem. Get maximum Comfort with a Maintenance Plan.

At Mercury Heating & Air, we prioritize your comfort above all else, and we know that living in Pinellas County, your HVAC system is a crucial part of making your house more of a home, a climate-controlled sanctuary for your family year-round. As winter brings cooler temps to Florida, you'll need a system that heats your space quickly and efficiently. That’s why we’ve developed our Residential Maintenance Plan to ensure your HVAC operates flawlessly throughout the year—whether it’s a chilly January morning or a sweltering July afternoon. You can trust us to create a warm, worry-free home environment for you, no matter the season!


The Mercury Difference: What Our Plan Includes

We don't believe in quick "glance-over" inspections. Our maintenance plan features a thorough multi-point inspection and cleaning of your system. Our skilled technicians follow a strict, comprehensive checklist for both the indoor air handler and the outdoor condenser to ensure every component functions correctly.

Indoor Air Handler Service

The air handler is located inside your home (closet, garage, or attic) and circulates air while housing the heating elements.

  1. Clean Evaporator Coil: We use self-rinsing cleaners to remove dust and grime, enhancing heat absorption for cooling and airflow for heating.

  2. Disinfect Blower Section: We sanitize the area through which air is pushed, improving air quality.

  3. Check Float Switch Operation: This critical safety device shuts the unit off if water backs up, preventing ceiling collapses and water damage.

  4. Inspect and Clean Drain Pan: We ensure the pan is free of rust and sludge so condensation drains correctly.

  5. Clear Drain Line: We flush the line to prevent algae buildup, which can cause common leaks.

  6. Ensure Wire Connections are Secure: Vibration can loosen wires over time; we ensure everything is tight.

  7. Tighten Electrical Connections: Loose connections cause heat and fires; we tighten them to prevent hazards.

  8. Verify Heat Strip Operation:Crucial for Winter! We test your emergency/auxiliary heat strips to ensure you have reliable warmth for those cooler nights.

  9. Check Motor Capacitors and Amps: We measure electrical performance to identify motors at risk of failure.

  10. Inspect the Thermostat: We calibrate your control center to ensure accurate temperature control in both heat and cool modes.

Outdoor Condenser Service

The condenser is the unit outside that releases heat. It faces the harsh Florida elements, rain or shine.

  1. Clean Condenser Coil: A clean coil releases heat more quickly, significantly improving energy efficiency.

  2. Inspect Compressor Performance: We monitor the heart of your system to ensure it is pumping refrigerant correctly.

  3. Check System Charge: Correct refrigerant levels are vital for cooling capacity and compressor protection.

  4. Review Electric Parts: We inspect contactors and relays for signs of pitting or wear.

  5. Inspect Wires for Damage: The sun can degrade wire insulation; we check for safety hazards.

  6. Check Fan Blades: We ensure the fan is balanced and moving air quietly and efficiently.

  7. Examine Circuit Boards: We look for "hot spots" or signs of overheating on the electronic controls.

Ensure Secure Outdoor Electrical Connections: We tighten high-voltage connections to prevent arcing and failure.
