AC Maintenance in Florida: Don’t Wait Until It Breaks

AC Maintenance in Florida: Don’t Wait Until It Breaks

Would you drive 40,000 miles without changing the oil?

Probably not. Yet many homeowners “set and forget” their air conditioning until the system starts failing, and in Florida, that delay can turn into a costly problem.

During just the four hottest summer months, your air conditioner works as hard as if your car traveled about 42,000 miles. Your AC may never be seen on I-75, but it’s every bit as important as engine maintenance. One day without reliable cooling in mid-July makes that obvious.

Unlike a car, most homeowners don’t monitor their HVAC system day to day. Instead, problems often show up gradually. You may notice your energy bill slowly climbing, your home not cooling like it used to, the system running longer to reach the set temperature, unusual sounds from the unit, or weaker and uneven airflow. By the time these signs become obvious, the issue may be more than a quick adjustment.

Keeping your air conditioner running smoothly is about giving it the basics. Clean air filters help airflow and efficiency. Regular tune-ups help catch wear and performance issues early. And for Florida conditions, scheduling two maintenance checks per year can help your system stay dependable when you

2021 Hurricane Season

2021 Hurricane Season

Living in Florida, you probably are used to preparing for bad weather, but is preparing your Air Conditioning System part of that routine?

According to forecasters with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through November 30, is expected to be an “above normal” season with 13 to 20 named storms, including 3 to 5 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher).

These tips will keep you comfortable and your AC protected in the event of a hurricane:

Clear and Cover

Prior to the storm, bring in any outdoor tables, chairs or other items that could become airborne and cause damage to the AC System. You can even cover the outside unit with a tarp in order to keep it free from flying leaves, dirt and other debris, but make sure to remove the covering before you turn the unit back on!

Cool Down Your House

Before the threat of the storm is imminent, try cooling your house as much as possible so you are comfortable for a while after you turn off your AC System.

Turn Off the Power

Nearly 90% of all electrical system

How High Heat Effects Your AC

Heat waves are becoming more frequent and severe.

The results of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) experiments show that land areas on earth have become more likely to experience extreme heat.

Not only will you feel the effects when you take the kids to the park, but your air conditioner will experience it while you're cooling off at home.

Air conditioners are a type of "heat pump". That means they transfer heat from one place to another (from inside your house to outside). Normally, heat travels from a hotter area to cooler area so it naturally enters your home on a hot day. The air conditioner works to remove this heat and discharges it to the air outside.

The hotter the outdoor temperature, the harder your AC has to work. One of the effects of high heat is a drop in efficiency.

Your air conditioner efficiency drops when it has to work harder to cool your home, costing you money as your electricity consumption rises.

Since your air conditioner has to work harder and longer, it's inevitable that the lifespan of the unit will be reduced. Moving parts like the fan motor and compressor components burn out quicker and
