Keep Your System Running Before It Stops

Preventive maintenance plans for heating and cooling systems in Lexington, South Carolina

Your heating and cooling system works harder in Lexington than in most places, running through humid summers that stretch into October and winters cold enough to test older heat pumps. A maintenance plan puts your system on a schedule that catches worn contactors, dirty coils, and refrigerant drift before they turn into no-heat calls in January or no-cool emergencies in July.

White Knoll Heating and Cooling offers preventive maintenance plans for both residential and commercial HVAC systems. These plans include scheduled visits where technicians check electrical connections, measure airflow, clean components, and test system performance under load. The goal is to extend the working life of your equipment and reduce the likelihood of breakdowns during the seasons when you need your system most.

If you want to avoid costly emergency repairs and keep your system running efficiently in Lexington, contact White Knoll Heating and Cooling to review available maintenance plan options.

What Happens During Each Scheduled Visit

During a maintenance visit in Lexington, a technician inspects your system from the outdoor condenser to the indoor air handler, checking for issues that often go unnoticed until they cause a failure. This includes tightening electrical terminals, measuring capacitor performance, clearing drain lines, and verifying that refrigerant levels match factory specifications.

After the service, your system runs quieter, cools or heats more evenly, and uses less energy to reach the temperature you set on the thermostat. You also receive a written report that notes any parts showing early wear, so you can plan for replacements before they fail during a heat wave or cold snap.

Maintenance plans from White Knoll Heating and Cooling are designed for South Carolina's demanding climate, where systems cycle more frequently and face higher humidity loads than equipment in milder regions. The plans do not cover repairs for parts that have already failed, but they do reduce the chance of those failures happening in the first place by addressing small problems while they are still small.

You probably have a few questions about how this works

Homeowners and business owners in Lexington often ask about timing, coverage, and what to do if a problem is found during a maintenance visit.

What does a maintenance plan include?
A maintenance plan includes scheduled inspections, cleaning, testing of electrical components, refrigerant level checks, and a written report of system condition. It does not cover the cost of parts or repairs if a component has already failed.
How often should maintenance be scheduled?
Most residential systems benefit from maintenance twice a year, once before cooling season and once before heating season. Commercial systems with higher run times may need more frequent visits depending on usage and equipment type.
What happens if the technician finds a problem?
If a part shows wear or a system reading falls outside normal range, the technician explains what was found, what it affects, and what needs to be done. You decide whether to address it immediately or schedule it for later.
Why is this important in South Carolina?
South Carolina's long cooling season and high humidity put more stress on HVAC systems than moderate climates. Regular maintenance helps your system handle the load without breaking down when outdoor temperatures climb into the nineties or drop below freezing.
Can a maintenance plan be used for older systems?
Yes, older systems often benefit the most from regular maintenance because their components are closer to the end of their service life. A plan helps you monitor those components and replace them before they fail completely.
