Air Conditioning Service and Repair

 

 

Your Emergency Air Conditioning Repair Company

Day or night, we're here to help. We know how uncomfortable life can be when your central air conditioning system fails. Here in Central Florida, we rely on our air conditioning nearly everyday! Plus, we also realize that many of our older residents rely on their heating systems more during our cooler months. We know how important your climate control is, so let us keep you in your comfort zone. 

7 Days a Week Service

Conveniently located in Lakeland, we are able to provide rapid service to most of central Florida. We are able to service all brands of central cooling and heating systems, and we are authorized factory warranty service providers for all Intertherm mobile home equipment.

Due to recent budget and personnel reductions, we have had to restrict our emergency service hours and area of coverage. We currently have a technician available for emergency calls till 9:00 pm local time. Emergency service is currently available to customers in Highlands, Hillsboro, Manatee, Orange, Pasco, Pinellas, and Polk counties. We still offer non-emergency and warranty service to our entire coverage area.

 

 
 

When calling for service, you can expect to have someone travel to your home and diagnose what is wrong with your appliance (all part of the service call charge).  It is guaranteed that the service technician will not smoke or use foul language in your home.  With honesty as a foremost quality, you can be assured that you will be given every option available to resolve your problem.  Our service truck has the most commonly used parts to fix most jobs on the first call.  If a part needs to be ordered, it will usually be available in 1-2 days.  

We respectfully ask that animals be put away while a service person is in your home (it is not unusual to have an animal jump on us while servicing the system or even run off with one of our tools). 
         
Here are a couple of tips to help when calling for service about your system:

 
 

    If your air conditioner is not cooling well, turn it off and leave the inside fan "on" several hours before a service person arrives.  If there is a refrigerant leak, the indoor coil may have turned into a large ice cube, and this must be melted before it can be repaired or charged. This will save you time and money!

    Many problems are repaired quickly.  If you have taken anything apart out of curiosity, please reinstall everything as it was before.  More times than not, a product has to be reassembled to properly diagnose the problem.  Reassembly prior to our arrival will save you money in labor charges.

 
 

Regular Maintenance is Critical for a Comfortable Home

Regular maintenance is critical for the longevity of your air conditioning system. Without regular maintenance an air conditioner looses about 5% of it's original efficiency for each year of operation. This means that the 12 SEER unit that you bought just a few years ago may be functioning like a 9 SEER unit today! The good news is that you can recover most of that lost efficiency through regular maintenance.

Annual Air Conditioning Maintenance Means Lower Energy Bills!

Studies show that with regular tune-ups a unit will maintain up to 95% of it's original efficiency. The annual cost of proper maintenance is quickly recuperated in savings to your monthly electric utility bill and typically reduced repair costs, if any are necessary.

Air Conditioners Last Longer with Quality Air Filters

In addition to bi-annual maintenance, we recommend buying good air conditioner filters and make sure to change them on a regular basis. On an average, once per month, the filter should be replaced or when it appears covered with dust, debris and other particles.

Keep Shrubs and Any Obstacles At Least 18" Away from Your A/C Compressor

Next, keep bushes and other materials away from the outside unit of your air conditioner. Another good idea is to avoid closing supply air outlets in your house. In almost all cases, closing supply outlets is harmful to the operation of the overall system.
