Frequently asked questions

How often should I change my air filter?

How often should I change my air filter?
Most homeowners should change their air filter every 1–3 months. Homes with pets, allergies, or heavy AC use may need more frequent replacements. A clean filter helps improve airflow, indoor air quality, and system efficiency.

Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling?

Common causes include a dirty air filter, a clogged condensate drain, low refrigerant, dirty coils, or a thermostat issue. If changing the filter doesn’t help, it’s best to have the system inspected.

How long should an air conditioner last?

Most central air conditioning systems last 10–15 years, while well-maintained systems may last 15–20 years.

How often should my HVAC system be serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. In Florida, where air conditioners run much of the year, two maintenance visits annually can help keep the system operating efficiently.

What are signs I need to replace my AC?
  • Your system is over 10–15 years old.
  • Frequent repairs.
  • Rising energy bills.
  • Uneven cooling.
  • Strange noises or odors.
  • The home never feels comfortable.

Why is there water around my indoor unit?

The condensate drain may be clogged, the drain pan may be damaged, or the evaporator coil could be frozen. Water around the unit should be addressed promptly to help prevent damage.

Should I cover my outdoor AC unit in the winter?

In Florida, covering the entire unit generally isn’t necessary. Keeping it free of leaves and debris is usually sufficient.

What should i be concerned about putting near my outdoor unit?

Sprinklers! They are the common cause of out door unit corrosion. 

HVAC Tips

Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clean

Remove leaves, grass clippings, and weeds from around the condenser. Maintain at least 2 feet of clear space around the unit to help with airflow.

Don’t Close Too Many Air Vents

Closing multiple supply vents can reduce efficiency and place additional strain on your HVAC system.

Keep Interior Doors Open

Keeping doors open allows air to circulate more evenly throughout your home.

Energy Saving Tips
  • Set your thermostat to 78-80°F when you’re not home.
  • Install a programmable or smart thermostat.
  • Seal air leaks around doors and windows.
  • Keep blinds or curtains closed during the hottest part of the day.
  • Avoid placing lamps or electronics near the thermostat, as they can affect temperature readings.

Signs You Should Call an HVAC Technician
  • Warm air coming from your vents.
  • Weak airflow.
  • Ice forming on the indoor or outdoor unit.
  • Burning or musty odors.
  • Loud banging, squealing, or grinding noises.
  • Water leaking around the indoor unit.
  • Frequent cycling on and off.
  • Unexpectedly high electric bills.

Use Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans can make rooms feel cooler, allowing you to raise the thermostat a couple of degrees without sacrificing comfort.

Change Your Filter Before Summer

Replacing the air filter before peak cooling season helps your system run more efficiently.

Schedule Maintenance Before It Breaks

Many emergency breakdowns can be prevented with regular inspections and maintenance.

Indoor Air Quality Tips
  • Replace air filters regularly.
  • Keep humidity between 30% and 50%.
  • Vacuum and dust frequently.
  • Consider installing a whole-home air purifier if needed.
  • Have your ductwork inspected if you notice excessive dust or inconsistent airflow.

Myth vs. Fact

Myth: Setting the thermostat to 60°F cools your house faster.
Fact: Your air conditioner cools at a consistent rate. Setting the thermostat much lower won’t make it cool more quickly—it just keeps it running longer.

Myth: Bigger AC units cool better.
Fact: An oversized system can cool too quickly without removing enough humidity, leading to reduced comfort and increased wear.

Myth: Maintenance isn’t necessary if the system is working.
Fact: Routine maintenance helps identify minor issues before they become major repairs and can improve efficiency.
