We understand how frustrating it can be when your AC isn’t working properly, especially in Florida during the hot summer months, but we’re here for you when it happens. Our team of friendly, expert technicians will accurately diagnose your A/C unit’s issues and fix the problem quickly so you can get back to feeling cool and comfortable in no time.
We take the time to find the cause of your A/C trouble.
The cause behind this may be a tripped circuit breaker, a worn blower belt, or low refrigerant levels.
The cause behind this may be a tripped circuit breaker, a worn blower belt, or low refrigerant levels.
If your A/C is tripping a fuse every time it turns on, this may be due to poor A/C installation or faulty wiring.
There may be a few reasons why your A/C is blowing hot air instead of cool air. These may include low refrigerant levels or refrigerant leaks, dirty air filter, clogged ducts, or debris in your compressor.
If you notice any condensation outside your unit or leaking water, contact our team to take care of the issue. The cause may be worn lines and connections, blocked drainage pipes, or issues with condensate pumps.
If your A/C coil is freezing, your system is working too hard. Potential causes include a dirty air filter, blocked condenser unit, or issues with the blower fan or ducts.
Are you hearing squealing, grinding, or other noises out of nowhere? You may have issues with the belt or motor bearings.
An A/C that runs constantly is one of the most common A/C issues and should be handled right away, especially if you want to avoid higher energy bills. While it’s common in higher temperatures for your air conditioning unit to run more often, it should still turn off every now and then. Common causes include electrical issues or problems with the thermostat, air filter, or compressor.
If you notice any bright-colored stains near your A/C unit, turn off the unit immediately to avoid serious damage to the compressor and give us a call. This could be caused by holes or cracks in the evaporator coils.
If your unit isn’t completing a full cooling cycle – known as short cycling – you’ll want to give us a call right away, as this is a serious issue that could damage the compressor, the most expensive part of the unit to replace. The problem could be dirty or clogged air filters, miscalibrated thermostats, or a unit that’s too powerful for the square footage of your home.
If you notice a burning smell, turn off the A/C right away, as there may be wiring issues or a clogged air filter may have caused the system to overheat. Mildew smells may mean there’s a drainage issue.
If you notice your unit running but temperatures are still high, there may be a blocked or clogged condenser coil in the condenser unit.

If your A/C system is failing to cool your home or is obviously not working properly, there are a number of potential issues that could be the cause. These include:
Luckily, regular tune-ups can prevent these issues or detect them early on before they cause emergencies. If you notice your A/C isn’t cooling your home properly or any other issues, give our Clearwater, Florida A/C experts a call and we’ll diagnose and handle the problem quickly.
The best way to keep your A/C unit functioning properly is by taking preventative measures. Here are our top recommendations for ensuring your AC unit operates efficiently without issues.
We all have our own preferences for setting the temperature in our home. During the summer it’s common to set it at 75 to 78 degrees. The lower the thermostat setting, the higher your energy usage will be, but you’ll also reduce the risk of mold growth, which is especially important in Florida. We highly recommend a programmable thermostat, which can be programmed to keep your system off while you’re away from your home and turn on just in time for your home to be cool when you return.
When facing expensive repairs, it’s not uncommon to wonder whether or not it’s worth investing the money in your current A/C unit or in a new unit, especially if you have an older air conditioner.
Today’s A/C units are far more efficient than they used to be, so more often than not, it’s a good idea to replace your old one if you have the money. Depending on the model and SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), you could save 35% to 65% off your power bill, which means you can earn your money back in as soon as just a couple of years. However, if you’re planning on moving soon, then it may make more financial sense to repair your unit instead. While a new A/C system can increase the value of your home, it won’t increase it by the full cost of the unit.
