FAQs
How often should I schedule maintenance for my air conditioning system in Ocoee?
Because Ocoee’s hot, humid weather puts extended stress on cooling equipment, we recommend professional maintenance twice a year—once in early spring for your cooling system and again in early fall for the heating side of a heat-pump or HVAC combo unit. A tune-up includes cleaning the condenser coil, checking refrigerant charge, tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, and verifying thermostat calibration. Regular service can improve efficiency by up to 15 %, reduce breakdowns, keep your manufacturer warranty valid, and prolong the life of the unit.
What size air conditioner is right for my home?
Proper sizing depends on the home’s square footage, insulation quality, window orientation, ceiling height, and even the number of occupants. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact cooling and heating load rather than relying on rough estimates. An undersized system will run constantly and never reach set temperature, while an oversized unit will short-cycle, waste energy, and reduce humidity control—both scenarios cost you money and comfort. We provide a detailed report and equipment options so you can choose the most efficient solution.
How can I lower my energy bills without sacrificing comfort?
Start with routine filter changes (every 30-60 days in summer), keep supply and return vents unblocked, and use a programmable or smart thermostat to raise the setting 2-3 °F when you’re away. Sealing duct leaks can improve system efficiency by up to 20 %. If your current unit is over 10-12 years old, upgrading to a high-efficiency SEER2-rated heat pump or variable-speed air conditioner can slash cooling costs by 30 % or more. Our team also offers attic insulation top-ups and solar-ready HVAC options to maximize savings.
When is it better to replace rather than repair my existing AC?
We use the 5,000 rule: multiply the repair cost by the system’s age; if the result exceeds $5,000, replacement typically makes more financial sense. Frequent breakdowns, refrigerant leaks (especially with phased-out R-22), rising utility bills, or uneven temperatures are additional red flags. New units come with 10-year compressor warranties, quieter operation, advanced humidity control, and superior energy ratings that often pay for themselves within a few years.
What indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions are compatible with my HVAC system?
Ocoee’s pollen, dust, and humidity can aggravate allergies and mold growth. We integrate whole-home media filters, UV-C air purifiers, and REME HALO in-duct systems that kill 99 % of airborne bacteria and viruses. For moisture control, we install variable-speed air handlers and whole-house dehumidifiers that maintain ideal indoor humidity between 45 % and 55 %. All IAQ products are designed to work with new or existing HVAC setups and can be controlled through your smart thermostat.
Do you offer emergency AC repair in Ocoee, and how quickly can you arrive?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency heating and cooling service throughout Ocoee, Winter Garden, Windermere, and surrounding West Orange County. Our on-call technicians carry common OEM parts on their trucks and typically arrive within 2 hours of your call—often sooner during extreme heat advisories. Transparent, upfront pricing is quoted before any work begins, and most repairs are completed on the first visit so you can get back to comfort fast.
