outside-ac-unitWhen it comes to your home’s air conditioner, size plays a bigger role than you may realize.

So, what do you need to get your AC size just right? It’s a matter of understanding air conditioner loads. Our professionals in St. Augustine, FL, are able to perform expert calculations to ensure every client’s AC is the perfect size for their property.

The Most Common Central AC Repair Needs

Monday, October 25th, 2021

smiling-technician-working-on-outdoor-ac-unitEven talking about “Autumn” in Florida is almost laughable. Our weather doesn’t typically cool off until January, and even then we’re lucky if we can use our heating systems for a few weeks. That said, it’s obviously super important that our air conditioners stay in the best shape possible! This starts with routine maintenance.

At least once a year, you should have your central air conditioner professionally tuned-up. During a maintenance tune-up, our technicians comprehensively inspect, adjust, and clean your air conditioner inside and out. When we inspect it, we check for signs of wear and tear. From there we can alert you to any small problems so you have the chance to schedule component replacements before this wear and tear leads to a much bigger repair emergency.

Following an annual maintenance schedule can actually help you avoid up to 85% of the repairs your central air conditioner may ever need! Additionally, maintenance helps the system work as efficiently as possible, for as long as possible. But whether you’re alerted during maintenance to repair needs or you suspect there might be an issue with your central AC system, what are the other 15 % of repairs you’ll likely need at some point? Read on to find out!

two-techs-working-on-ac-unitIf you’ve lived in Florida for even just a year, you know that there really isn’t such thing as “fall” or “winter”… at least not how our neighbors up north understand it. Fall foliage and warm cozy fires, while it snows outside just, aren’t a thing here.
