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?

Comments 0 Comment

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…

Why is My AC Freezing Up?

Why is My AC Freezing Up?

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…

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

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

Comments 0 Comment

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…

How to Avoid Air Conditioning Problems

How to Avoid Air Conditioning Problems

Comments 0 Comment

Your air conditioning unit is likely the most expensive appliance in your home. They are touted to have a life of 10-15 years, but that is only if you do your maintenance and repairs on a normally scheduled basis. Leaving your AC to keep on trudging through working on its own without any assistance is asking for problems down the road. That’s like driving your car around, never getting an oil change, swapping out air filters, or having it checked…

Unlike many areas of the country, here in Southwest Florida, we rely on our air conditioning systems to work year-round. We have grown so dependent on these machines for comfort we just expect that as soon as we flip a switch, they will come on and start cooling our homes and offices down for us. But what if suddenly they stop working? You may find yourself perplexed “Why won’t my AC work?” You have come to the right page for…
