Never Come Home to a Dead AC Again

South Florida's snowbird season means a lot of homes sit empty for months at a time, and an AC system that's shut down improperly, or started back up without a check, is a common source of surprise breakdowns. We publish seasonal guidance for both leaving and returning.

Common Questions

  • How often should I change my AC filter in Florida?

    Most Florida homes should change a standard filter every 30 to 60 days, given the higher humidity and pollen load compared to drier climates. Homes with pets or allergy concerns often need changes closer to the 30-day mark.

  • What is the A2L refrigerant transition?

    It's the industry-wide shift away from R-410A refrigerant toward newer A2L refrigerants like R-32 and R-454B, driven by new CR2 regulations. The transition affects how existing systems can be serviced and what refrigerant new installations use going forward.

  • Do I need to do anything to my AC before leaving for the season?

    Yes, an AC system left completely off for months can develop issues that show up the moment you turn it back on. We publish seasonal shutdown and startup guidance specifically for homeowners who are away part of the year.

  • Do I need a whole-home system, or will a standalone air purifier work?

    It depends on the size of your home and the specific concern you're addressing. Whole-home systems integrated with your ductwork generally treat air more consistently across every room, while standalone units are more limited to the space they're in.
