Florida air conditioners work harder than almost anywhere else in the country, often running ten or more months a year. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become emergency repairs and keeps your system running at the efficiency you paid for.
Our tune-up checklist
- Clean the condenser coil and check the evaporator coil
- Flush and treat the condensate drain line
- Check refrigerant pressures and temperature split
- Test capacitors, contactors and motor amperage
- Tighten electrical connections
- Inspect and replace the air filter
- Test the thermostat and safety switches
Why it matters in Central Florida
Humidity, pollen and heavy use clog drains and coat coils quickly. A clogged drain line is one of the most common causes of water damage and summer breakdowns we see, and it is easy to prevent with routine service.
AC Maintenance questions
How often should I have my AC serviced in Florida?
At least once a year, ideally in spring before peak season. Older systems benefit from service twice a year.
How long does a tune-up take?
Most tune-ups take about an hour per system.
Will maintenance lower my energy bill?
Clean coils, correct refrigerant charge and good airflow help your system run efficiently, which can reduce energy use compared with a neglected system.
