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 […]
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 […]
Your air conditioner should run unnoticed. While it may have a soft air moving whir, that’s about the loudest it should ever get. It should blow cool air to the temperature of your choosing as set by the thermostat while on and shut down moments after you hit the off button. You should not really have to think about your […]
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 […]
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. It’s likely your current unit struggled to maintain proper cooling levels on the most scorching summer day, […]
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 […]
Let’s face it. It’s Florida. We rarely think about our heaters let alone use them. While the cold winter spell hasn’t hit yet, it is coming. Making sure your HVAC unit is working properly not just for your AC but also for your heater is important. Us Floridians do not have thick blood and finding yourself freezing during a cold […]
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 […]
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 […]

Let us guide you in recognizing the signs that it may be time to have your insulation replaced. DRAFTY SPACES: Drafts are an […]
