Quality Service Company, LLC provides HVAC maintenance in Florence, SC and across the Pee Dee region. Each spring and fall, your tech checks your cooling or heating system. Then they tell you what needs attention and why.
A tune-up looks for small problems while they are still small. Here is what your tech checks on each visit.
What does a tune-up include?
- Check the refrigerant charge and pressures
- Clean the condenser coil and check the evaporator coil
- Test the capacitor, contactor and motors
- Check electrical connections and safety controls
- Inspect ductwork and airflow
- Test the thermostat
- Inspect the filter and explain replacement or cleaning options
- A written report of anything that needs attention
If your tech finds something that needs repair, they will quote it before any work starts.
Why a visit in spring and another in fall?
Florence needs about as much heating as cooling in a normal year. NOAA’s 30-year averages for Florence Regional Airport put the two loads almost even: 2,257 cooling degree days to 2,334 heating.
- Spring: a cooling tune-up before the hot stretch from May through September.
- Fall: a heating tune-up before the cold months, November through March.
Summer here is long. A normal year has about 70 days at 90 degrees or higher. Winter is short but real, with about 40 nights at freezing or below.

Common questions about HVAC tune-ups
Is maintenance worth it on a newer system?
Yes, a newer system still needs a spring and a fall tune-up. It runs through the same long Florence summers as an older one. Your tech checks the charge, coils and electrical parts, then explains what they found and why.
How long does a tune-up take?
Plan on one to two hours for each system, depending on its condition. If your tech finds something that needs repair, they explain what’s wrong and why, and give you your options. They quote any repair before work starts, so you can decide.
When should I check my filter in Florence?
Check your filter in late March and again in late summer. In late March 2025, WIS reported pine, oak and birch pollen at high to very high levels across South Carolina. Weed pollen peaks in late summer into early fall. We can tell you which filter fits your system and its airflow.
Your AC also pulls moisture from the air. If rooms feel clammy at a normal setting, tell your tech at the tune-up.
