What’s Included in a First Choice Maintenance Visit

One visit covers your entire system — cooling and heating — top to bottom. After the visit, you get a straight written summary: what we found, what we did, what (if anything) we recommend watching. No jargon. No 12-item list of things to worry about.

Cooling System

✓ Refrigerant level check
✓ Evaporator and condenser coil cleaning
✓ Condensate drain flush
✓ Blower motor inspection
✓ Thermostat calibration
✓ Filter check and replacement (if needed)

Heating System

✓ Heat exchanger integrity check
✓ Burner cleaning (gas furnaces)
✓ Igniter and safety control inspection
✓ Carbon monoxide test
✓ Flue and venting inspection
✓ Heat pump reversing valve check

What Florence’s Climate Does to Your HVAC System

Florence, SC is not a gentle environment for HVAC equipment. The Pee Dee’s combination of high summer humidity (regularly above 80%), heavy spring pollen from the surrounding agricultural land, and occasional winter freezes creates unique wear patterns that a generic tune-up checklist misses entirely.

Condensate drain lines clog faster in Florence’s humidity; a blocked drain causes water damage and system shutdowns.
Evaporator coils accumulate pollen and debris faster near rural areas and green spaces like Florence Veterans Park.
Refrigerant lines are under greater stress during extended 95°F+ summer stretches common in the Pee Dee.
Furnace heat exchangers need inspection before winter; Florence’s occasional hard freezes demand a system that’s ready.

Our technicians are trained on these exact conditions. A maintenance visit from First-Choice is not the same as one from a company calling in from the coast.

The Service Shield Plan: Maintenance on Autopilot

For Florence homeowners who don’t want to remember to schedule a tune-up every year, the Service Shield Plan does it automatically. Members get:

Annual tune-up, scheduled automatically — cooling before summer, heating before winter.
Priority same-day scheduling — members move to the front of the line.
No diagnostic fees on covered repairs.
Up to 20% off repair parts.
3-year labor guarantee instead of 1 (for Platinum members).

The goal is simple: your HVAC system runs all year. You don’t think about it. That’s how it should work.

Maintenance and Air Quality Go Together

Florence’s spring pollen season is driven by the agricultural land throughout Florence County. This affects indoor air quality more than most homeowners realize. A properly maintained system with clean filters and sealed ducts is the first line of defense against pollen, dust mites, and the mold spores that thrive in Pee Dee humidity.

If your maintenance visit reveals ductwork issues, we’ll connect you with our duct cleaning service — no hard sell, just a heads-up.

Our furnace quit during the night. They were able to make the service call in the afternoon, diagnosed the problem quickly and did a full service check. All is well and working and we were really pleased with the professionalism and the pricing. Thank you to Michael and team.

Trevor came out with the two technicians and went over the paper work and what was going to be done. The technicians were wonderful! They were very neat, respectful and explained everything as they went along. We discussed the filtration system that was to be installed

My experience with First Choice was wonderful. I was running behind and my tech, Josh, was very patient and waited without charging me extra for “wasting” 15 minutes of his time. He worked quickly and professionally, diagnosing my issue and ultimately fixing it in minutes.
