  • What is the life expectancy for an AC system in Florida?

    The typical lifespan of an air conditioning system in Florida ranges from 10 to 15 years. However, this duration may be shorter due to the state's intense heat and humidity. These harsh climate conditions often require AC units to work harder, potentially reducing their overall longevity.
  • How often should I service my AC unit in Florida?

    In Florida, it is advisable to have your AC unit serviced twice annually. We recommend scheduling maintenance once in spring, before the heavy summer usage, and again in fall. The severe weather conditions in Florida necessitate more frequent care for AC units. It is beneficial to have a professional technician inspect your system during these bi-annual check-ups.
  • Can salt from coastal air damage my AC unit?

    Indeed, coastal air can be detrimental to your AC unit. The salt content can lead to corrosion in the coils and other components. To mitigate this issue, we suggest using coastal-approved units, applying protective coatings, and regularly rinsing the exterior of the unit to remove salt deposits.
