What is the benefit of a maintenance agreement in Florida?
Routine maintenance is crucial here because your AC runs almost year-round. It prevents unexpected breakdowns, keeps your unit running at maximum efficiency (lowering energy bills), and keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid.
How often should I change my AC filter?
In Florida's climate, we recommend checking and changing standard 1-inch filters monthly, especially during peak cooling season, to ensure proper airflow and indoor air quality.
What are your financing options for a new AC system?
We offer flexible financing plans for new system installations, including 0% interest financing for up to 21 months on approved system replacements. Contact us for details!
Why is my AC unit constantly running but not cooling the house?
This often indicates low refrigerant levels (a leak), a dirty coil, or a malfunctioning fan motor. Turn the unit off and call us for emergency diagnosis and repair.
Do you service my area outside of St. Augustine?
Yes, we proudly serve all of St. Johns, Clay, and Duval counties, including Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra Beach, Green Cove Springs, and Flagler Beach.
Why is my heating bill high when I barely use my furnace?
A high bill often suggests an underlying issue with your heat pump or furnace efficiency. It could be due to dirty coils, leaky ductwork, or a failing component. A tune-up can quickly diagnose the problem.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. We are a fully licensed Florida Certified Air Conditioning Contractor (CAC-1824035) and carry all necessary liability insurance for your protection and peace of mind.
What does 'Veteran-Owned' mean for your service?
It means we adhere to principles of integrity, respect, and discipline. We offer straightforward, honest assessments and highly reliable service on every job, guaranteed.
Can a duct leak really affect my energy bill?
Yes, a significant amount. Leaky ducts can lose up to 30% of your conditioned air into unconditioned spaces (like the attic or crawl space), forcing your AC to run longer and costing you money.
What is a SEER rating, and why does it matter?
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures the cooling output over a typical season divided by the energy used. A higher SEER rating means better energy efficiency and lower long-term cooling costs. We recommend high-SEER units for the Florida heat.
