FAQs
How often should I schedule routine air-conditioning maintenance in Ocoee?
Because Central Florida’s long cooling season places heavy demand on your system, we recommend a full professional tune-up once a year—ideally in early spring before peak heat arrives. High-use homes, rental properties, or systems more than 10 years old may benefit from a mid-season check in late summer as well. Regular filter changes (every 30–60 days) should continue year-round.
What services are included during a maintenance visit?
Our standard maintenance package covers: • Inspection and cleaning of evaporator and condenser coils • Refrigerant level and pressure checks • Tightening of electrical connections and testing capacitors, contactors, and relays • Calibration of thermostat and verification of correct cycle times • Lubrication of moving parts, blower assembly cleaning, and motor amperage check • Clearing and flushing of condensate drain line to prevent algae clogs • Airflow measurement across the duct system and replacement of standard filters • Written report with any recommendations or emerging issues.
Why is preventive maintenance so important for AC systems in Ocoee’s hot, humid climate?
Heat, humidity, and airborne pollen force local units to run longer and harder than in most regions. Dust and biological growth accumulate quickly on coils, reducing efficiency and increasing operating pressures. Without annual cleaning and adjustment, minor issues can escalate into compressor failure, frozen coils, water leaks, or costly refrigerant loss. Routine service can restore up to 20% of lost efficiency, extend equipment life by several years, and improve indoor air quality.
Will routine maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, or improper airflow can raise energy consumption by 10–30%. A tuned system removes heat more effectively, runs shorter cycles, and maintains set temperature without overworking. Most homeowners see their maintenance fee offset within a single cooling season through reduced utility costs and fewer emergency repairs.
How long does a maintenance appointment take, and do I need to be home?
A comprehensive visit generally takes 60–90 minutes per outdoor/indoor system. We work within scheduled arrival windows and can call or text when en route. Someone 18 or older should be present to grant access, discuss findings, and sign the service report. If you have a locked outdoor gate but no indoor access is needed (e.g., package units), we can perform exterior tasks with prior authorization.
Is annual maintenance required to keep my manufacturer or extended warranty valid?
Most major manufacturers—including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, and Goodman—state in their written warranty terms that proper, documented maintenance by a licensed HVAC professional is a condition of coverage. Skipping yearly service can give the manufacturer grounds to deny claims related to premature compressor or coil failure. We provide an itemized digital record after each visit so you have proof of compliance should a warranty issue arise.
