FAQs

Routine maintenance typically involves several key tasks: replacing air filters, cleaning the coils, verifying refrigerant levels, and examining the drain lines. These steps are essential for keeping your AC system running efficiently.

We recommend scheduling maintenance twice annually, with one of these visits ideally occurring in spring. This timing helps ensure your system is prepared for the intense heat of the summer months.

When deciding between repair and replacement, consider three main factors: the age of your system, the cost of repairs compared to a new unit, and overall energy efficiency. As a rule of thumb, replacement is often advisable if repair costs exceed half the price of a new system, or if your unit is over a decade old.

In Florida, AC units often have a shorter lifespan than the national average of 10-15 years due to increased usage. Regular maintenance is vital to maximize your system's longevity in our climate.

An AC system typically freezes up due to two main reasons: restricted airflow, which can be caused by dirty filters or blocked vents, or insufficient refrigerant levels. Both issues can lead to ice formation on the coils.
