Quick Answers

Tap a question to ask
- How often should I change my AC filter in Florida?
- Most Florida homes should change a standard filter every 30 to 60 days because of the higher humidity and pollen load. Homes with pets or allergies often need closer to every 30 days.
- What is the A2L refrigerant transition?
- It is the industry-wide shift away from R-410A toward A2L refrigerants such as R-32 and R-454B. It changes what refrigerant new systems use; existing R-410A systems can still be used and repaired.
- Do I need to do anything to my AC before leaving for the season?
- Yes. A system left off for months can develop problems that show up the moment it restarts. Schedule a check before you leave or before you return.
