With spring comes warmer weather and longer days, especially here in Florida. It’s the perfect reason to enjoy the air conditioning system you invested in. But as summer approaches, our units have to work even harder to keep us cool.
Luckily, there’s a service that protects your AC while making sure it performs well when you need it most.
With temperatures never really cooling down in our part of the country, the time to start thinking about how to best take care of your air conditioner this coming summer is now.

There are, of course, a few maintenance tasks that you can and should be doing on your own. For instance, your air filter needs to be changed every 1-3 months during periods of use, depending on the level of contaminants in your home. This helps protect both your cooling and heating systems. You should also ensure that both the outdoor unit and indoor vents of your AC are unobstructed.
In most parts of the country, we’re prepping for winter, by making sure our heaters are maintained and any needed repairs are managed. However, in these parts, winter doesn’t mean much—except that it’s the perfect time to turn off our air conditioners for a bit! This means it’s also the perfect time to schedule Navarre, FL air conditioning maintenance.
Remember though, only a highly trained technician can handle the variety of tasks involved with such a service, such as inspecting motors and electrical components, cleaning coils and moving parts, and making any adjustments necessary to prevent component or system breakdown.

What if you have a conventional central AC system though or a ductless system? Is it still necessary to schedule your Destin, FL air conditioning maintenance on a bi-annual basis?
The short-and-sweet answer is—“yes.” But why is that necessary? In Northwest Florida, our temperatures tend to soar for the majority of the year. While other parts of the country may use their cooling systems for 3-4 months out of the year, we use our considerably more—typically for 8-9 months, and we may even have heat waves in the “dead of winter.” Because of this extra use and wear on the system, twice-a-year maintenance is a necessity.
When you live in as hot and humid of a state as we do, your air conditioning system is naturally a huge part of your home’s comfort. Since it gets a lot of use over the years, it’s only natural that it will suffer from the effects of wear and tear and eventually need small repairs here and there.
To best prepare your AC system for the cooling load that it will bear all summer, a maintenance appointment is essential. Maintenance serves many benefits, some of which we’ve explained below. Be sure to contact us ASAP to schedule your summer AC tune-up.
