Newer units come with an expected lifespan of 10 to 15 years. That tops older units that max out at 10 by half a lifespan! But there is a trick to it.

Heating and Air Conditioning equipment, no matter what make, should be cleaned, inspected, and serviced…

Keeping Your Family Warm and Safe This Florida Winter Season

Keeping Your Family Warm and Safe This Florida Winter Season

Comments 0 Comment

Florida isn’t exactly a frozen winter wonderland. We rarely need to turn the heat on in our homes. There are always a few weeks out of the year that it does get downright cold (at least in our spoiled Floridian mindsets). Often during this time rather than flip on the whole house heater many will opt for using small-area space heaters. Space heaters are a wonderful alternative to get the warmth to just where you need it. A good quality…

It’s a New Decade! Could it Be Time for a New Air Conditioner?

It’s a New Decade! Could it Be Time for a New Air Conditioner?

It’s hard to say goodbye to the old. Especially when the “old” is your home or office HVAC unit. No one wants to have to buy a new air conditioner. The fact is they do have a lifespan and will eventually reach the end of the road where they will either quit working entirely or become so energy-inefficient that your bill skyrockets rendering them non-cost-effective. The average air conditioning unit is made to last 10 to 15 years depending on…

AC systems though durable and tough, built for the long haul, do have to be properly maintained and cared for. They are designed to run well under a specific set of circumstances. When things get out of balance abnormal wear and tear can cause problems leading to damage. If for some reason the Freon in the system begins to expand more than it should it can cause the coils to become colder than usual. If something prevents the airflow over…

How is the Humidity Level in Your Home?

Here in Southwest Florida, we are lucky enough to live in the tropics. Humidity is our daily norm. To live comfortably throughout the year and especially in the summer months, it becomes vital to keep your air conditioning and heating units (HVAC) in perfect working order. Air conditioners don’t just manage the temperature, they control the humidity level as well. Dehumidifying a house can reduce the damage that can happen over time to furniture and to the home itself, reduce…

Is My AC “Too Old”?

If you are considering this question, it means you have reason to suspect the current air conditioning system cooling your home is about to die. Many people begin to consider replacing their air conditioning in the fall, right after another hot Florida summer.

A New Unit Can Save You Big On Your FPL Electric Bill!

Living in Southwest Florida can mean a large electric bill. After all, we run our AC units nearly year-round with the occasional fall pause and then we flip the heaters on! Our HVAC never gets a break. That means more wear and tear and makes maintaining your unit even more important than ever. HVAC units (newer models) have a projected lifespan of 10-15 years. This can either come to pass with good regular care or if neglected, can be cut…
