FAQ
Air Conditioning questions, answered
How often should an AC system be serviced in Florida?
At least once a year, ideally a pre-summer tune-up in late winter or early spring. Our long cooling season puts far more runtime on Gainesville systems than on AC up north, so annual service is the minimum to protect efficiency and catch small problems before a July breakdown.
Repair or replace — how do I decide?
A good rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than about a third of a new system, or the unit is 12+ years old and using R-22 refrigerant, replacement usually wins. We give you the honest math on your specific system rather than pushing a sale.
Do you service all brands?
Yes. We repair and maintain all makes and models, and we are a certified authorized Trane dealer when you are ready to replace.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
Common causes are a refrigerant leak, a failed capacitor, a frozen evaporator coil, or a clogged condensate drain. Our diagnostic isolates which one so you are not guessing — or paying for the wrong part.
