Maintenance Plan Prices for Sarasota & Manatee County Homes

In Sarasota and Manatee County, an air conditioner runs close to year-round and a water heater sits in coastal humidity that accelerates corrosion. Equipment here works harder than it does almost anywhere else in the country — and it fails accordingly.

Most of those failures are preventable. A capacitor weakens for months before the compressor won't start. A water heater's anode rod corrodes through years before the tank splits. A lug in the electrical panel loosens and heats long before it arcs. Each of these is a small, inexpensive fix when a technician finds it during a scheduled visit — and each becomes an emergency call at emergency rates when it isn't.

That's the whole case for a maintenance plan. Not that inspections are virtuous, but that the same repair costs one amount on a Tuesday in March and several times that on a Sunday in August when your system quits on the hottest day of the year. Manufacturers know this too: most require documented annual service to keep a warranty valid, so skipping maintenance can cost you coverage you already paid for.

AQUA Plumbing & Air serves homes throughout Sarasota County and Manatee County — Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Osprey, Nokomis, Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, and Longboat Key. Plans start at $119/yr.

Plan Prices at a Glance

All plans include priority service and discounts on future repairs. Water Treatment can be added to any single-service plan or to AQUA One.

AQUA One Advantage — $399/yr

Preventative maintenance is the most assured way to save thousands of dollars per year. AQUA has developed a program covering the most expensive and critical mechanical systems in your home, keeping both you and your pocketbook secure. This is the most comprehensive preventive maintenance plan you can purchase — plumbing, air, and electrical bundled at one affordable price. Everything listed in the three individual plans below is included.

Gain the Advantage

• Lower utility bills
• Extended equipment life
• Fewer costly repairs
• Average savings of $1,000/year on parts
• 24/7 priority service
• Discounts on future services
• One call for all your home service needs

AQUA Plumbing Advantage — $279/yr

Keeping your plumbing well maintained ensures everything operates properly and reduces the need for costly emergency repairs. Your plan includes an annual whole-home inspection with a detailed written report.

Drains & Disposal

• Check all drains and apply drain treatment
• Sanitize garbage disposal
• Clean and adjust pop-up drains
• Clean and flush faucet aerators

Water Heater & Supply Lines

• Check and flush water heater
• Pressure test water piping system for leaks
• Inspect all faucets and valves
• Inspect all supply and drain lines in sinks
• Locate and tag emergency shut-off valves

Toilets

• Dye test for leaks
• Inspect flushing mechanism

Also includes: 10% discount on future plumbing repairs and priority emergency service.

A toilet leaking silently through a worn flapper wastes water every day until someone tests for it. A water heater that has never been flushed fails early — and usually while it is full. The Plumbing Advantage Plan pays for itself.

AQUA Air Advantage — $119/yr

According to the Building Efficiency Initiative, effective maintenance can reduce HVAC energy costs by up to 40% — savings that show up directly on your electric bill. Proper maintenance also improves efficiency, reduces repairs, extends the lifespan of your unit, and preserves your manufacturer's warranty.

Annual 30-Point Precision Tune-Up

Our technician checks, cleans, and adjusts:

• Air handler
• Condenser
• Thermostat
• Electric heat
• Evaporator coil
• Visual leak check

Also includes: priority service, discounts on future air conditioner repairs, and a drain line guarantee (Silver A Plan).

AQUA Electrical Advantage — $149/yr

The Electrical Safety Foundation recommends having your electrical systems thoroughly inspected by a qualified electrician. Electrical problems rarely announce themselves — a loose lug in the panel generates heat long before it causes a failure, and it is found by inspection, not by waiting.

Your Inspection Covers

• Main electrical panel — checked for signs of wear
• Lugs tightened as needed
• Wire sizes verified against proper breaker ratings
• Grounding system
• Air conditioner disconnects checked for visible wear
• Smoke detectors
• All accessible lighting, switches, dimmers, and receptacles
• Bath exhaust fans

Also includes: priority emergency repair service, discounts on recommended repairs and future services, and discounted rates on AQUA Advantage Generator Maintenance.

AQUA Water Treatment Advantage — $479/yr

You have invested in making sure the water in your home is safe for your family and pets. A water softener or reverse osmosis system saves money by improving water heater efficiency, reducing how much kitchen, laundry, and bath soap you need, and extending the life of your appliances. Maintaining that equipment properly is what preserves the integrity of the system.

Four Inspections Per Year

• Quarterly inspections
• Brine tank refill
• Calibration of settings as needed
• Required equipment maintenance
• Annual replacement of reverse osmosis filters
• Bi-annual replacement of reverse osmosis membrane

Plans are designed according to water type, and with or without filters.

Also includes: priority repair service and discounts on recommended repairs. Water Treatment Advantage can be added to any single service plan or to the AQUA One Advantage Plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a home maintenance plan cost in Sarasota and Manatee County?

AQUA Advantage Plans start at $119/yr for air conditioning, $149/yr for electrical, $279/yr for plumbing, and $479/yr for water treatment. The combined AQUA One Advantage Plan covers plumbing, air, and electrical together starting at $399/yr.

What areas do you serve?

We serve homes throughout Sarasota County and Manatee County, Florida — including Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Osprey, Nokomis, Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto, and Longboat Key.

How often should HVAC and plumbing systems be inspected in Florida?

At least once a year. Florida air conditioners run close to year-round, and most manufacturers require documented annual service to keep the warranty valid. Water treatment equipment needs quarterly attention, since softeners and reverse osmosis systems require brine refills, calibration, and filter changes on a shorter cycle.

Is a maintenance plan actually worth it?

The value comes from the cost difference, not the inspection itself. A weakening capacitor, a corroding anode rod, or a loose electrical lug is an inexpensive fix during a scheduled visit and a far more expensive emergency call once it fails. Plan members also get priority service and discounts on future repairs.
