We recommend servicing your AC at least twice a year to keep it running efficiently and to catch any potential issues early.

If your AC is blowing warm air, making unusual noises, or your energy bills have spiked, it may be time for a professional repair.

Improving your home’s air quality is simple with our advanced air filtration systems and UVC technology. These systems help reduce airborne particles, creating a cleaner and healthier indoor environment for you and your family.

With regular maintenance, most AC units last 10-12 years. However, the Florida climate may cause systems to wear out faster without proper care.

• Investing in a high-efficiency air conditioning system
• Scheduling regular maintenance 

Doing both of these will help reduce your energy bills by keeping your unit running efficiently.

Florida’s high humidity makes AC systems work harder. Proper humidity control can not only keep your home comfortable but also reduce wear and tear on your unit.

Yes, we do. We are there when you need us! 

We offer a range of whole-home air filtration and purification systems to suit your needs:

• Lennox PureAir: A powerful whole-home air purification system that targets and eliminates airborne pollutants, providing cleaner air throughout your home.
• Premier One: Utilizes advanced UV technology to purify your indoor air, reducing harmful contaminants for a healthier environment.
• Remy Halo: A whole-home air filtration system that reduces airborne particles and improves overall air quality.

There are a few signs that may indicate your air ducts are leaking:

• Humidity or sweating at the grill: If you notice moisture or sweating around the air vent grills, it could be a sign of leaking ducts.
• Longer system run times: If your system is running longer than it used to or seems to struggle to maintain the desired temperature, leaking ducts might be causing your system to work harder.
• Temperature inconsistencies: Uneven temperatures between rooms or a difficulty in keeping your home at the desired temperature could point to air escaping through leaks in your ducts.

Setting your thermostat between 75-78°F when you’re home and a few degrees higher when you’re away can help balance comfort and energy savings.

This could be due to several factors, including:

• Low refrigerant
• A dirty evaporator coil
• Poor insulation
• Inefficient ductwork

A professional inspection can identify the problem and restore your AC’s performance.

• Poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and even asthma. 
• Regular maintenance and air filtration systems can reduce pollutants, allergens, and improve overall health.

Two-stage AC systems and inverting units are excellent choices for controlling humidity in Florida’s climate. These systems run at varying speeds, allowing them to remove more moisture from the air while maintaining a comfortable temperature. By operating more efficiently, they help keep your home cooler and reduce humidity levels.

Water leaks usually indicate a clogged drain line, frozen evaporator coil, or low refrigerant. Turn the system off and schedule a service ASAP to prevent further damage.

Choosing the correct size is crucial for efficiency and dehumidification. Our certified technicians can help you select a unit based on square footage, insulation, and other factors to ensure optimal cooling.
