Due to Florida's year-round AC usage, annual maintenance may not suffice. Most HVAC experts suggest biannual inspections and servicing, occurring every six months. This frequency is crucial for maintaining system health. We encourage you to contact us today to schedule service with our experienced technicians.

A properly functioning air conditioner typically cycles for 15 to 20 minutes, two to three times per hour. The runtime may increase if indoor temperatures are significantly higher than the thermostat setting or if outdoor temperatures are exceptionally high. As experienced professionals, we recommend setting your thermostat to 78 degrees, which aligns with the Florida Public Service Commission's guidance. For energy savings, consider setting a higher temperature when you're away from home while still maintaining comfort upon your return.

Air conditioning systems generally require replacement every 15 to 20 years. However, each unit's lifespan can vary based on usage and maintenance. With proper care, a high-efficiency air conditioning system can provide effective cooling for up to two decades. It's worth noting that regular maintenance can extend an air conditioner's lifespan by up to 40%, according to Payless Power. Despite this, only about 40% of homeowners schedule routine professional maintenance.
