Preparing Your HVAC System for Florida's Summer Heat

In Florida, "Summer Prep" starts early. By the time the humidity hits Homosassa, our Weekend Emergency Service teams are busy, so being proactive in the spring is key. A few simple steps can ensure your Cooling Services are ready for the triple digit heat index.

Essential Summer Readiness Steps

Clear the Outdoor Unit

Ensure there are at least two feet of clearance around your outdoor condenser; remove any weeds or debris that could restrict airflow.

Test Your Thermostat

Switch to cooling mode and ensure the temperature drops as expected before the hottest days arrive.

Flush Your Drain Line

A cup of white vinegar down the condensate drain line can help prevent the algae growth that leads to summer clogs.

Schedule a Professional Tune-Up

Our Carrier Specialists will check refrigerant levels and tighten electrical connections to prevent a mid-summer breakdown.
