FAQs
How often should I schedule professional AC maintenance in Ocoee?
In Ocoee’s hot, humid climate, we recommend having a trained technician service your air conditioner at least once a year—ideally in early spring before peak cooling season begins. A professional tune-up includes cleaning coils, calibrating thermostats, checking refrigerant charge, inspecting electrical components, and confirming proper airflow. Routine maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns during extreme heat, maximizes energy efficiency, and can extend the life of your system by several years.
What size or capacity air conditioner is right for my Ocoee home?
AC sizing isn’t just about square footage. Our professionals calculate the correct tonnage using ACCA Manual J load calculations, which account for insulation levels, window type, home orientation, duct layout, occupancy, and Ocoee’s high humidity. An undersized unit will run constantly and struggle to remove moisture; an oversized unit will short-cycle, wasting energy and leaving indoor air clammy. After an on-site assessment, we provide a detailed sizing report and recommend models that balance comfort, efficiency, and budget.
How can I lower my cooling bills without sacrificing comfort?
Start with simple steps: replace dirty filters monthly, keep vents unblocked, set your programmable thermostat to 78 °F when you’re home and 4–6 °F higher when away, and seal window and door gaps to keep humid air out. For bigger savings, consider a high-efficiency variable-speed heat pump, adding attic insulation, or installing a smart thermostat. Our technicians can perform an energy audit, suggest duct sealing or zoning, and explain local utility rebates for high-SEER equipment that can cut cooling costs by 20–40 %.
Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling properly?
Common causes include a clogged air filter, frozen evaporator coil, low refrigerant, dirty outdoor condenser, or a failing capacitor or compressor. Florida’s pollen and dust can quickly clog coils, and refrigerant leaks reduce cooling capacity while harming the environment. Our licensed professionals use digital gauges to measure pressures, infrared leak detectors to find refrigerant losses, and thermal imaging to spot airflow restrictions. We’ll pinpoint the root cause, give you repair options and upfront pricing, and restore comfort quickly.
What indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions work best with AC systems in Central Florida?
High humidity encourages mold, dust mites, and allergens. We integrate whole-home dehumidifiers, UV-C germicidal lights, and MERV-13 media filters directly into your HVAC system to control moisture and clean the air. For households with asthma or severe allergies, we can add an electronic air cleaner or a HEPA bypass filtration unit. Our professionals test indoor air, recommend the right IAQ upgrades, and ensure they’re properly sized so they don’t restrict airflow or strain your AC.
When should I replace my air conditioner instead of repairing it?
Consider replacement if your unit is 10–15 years old, requires frequent costly repairs, or has a SEER rating below today’s efficiency standards (now up to SEER2 18–20). A new system can cut energy use by 30–50 % and often qualifies for manufacturer rebates and federal tax credits. We’ll compare the repair cost to the long-term savings of a new unit, provide load calculations, and offer financing options so you can make an informed decision about your comfort and budget.
