Contrary to what some people might tell you, electric furnaces are pretty common in our area. They’re affordable, efficient, and they’re perfect for keeping a home warm during a Florida winter. However, they’re not without their own set of unique problems.
We want to keep homeowners up to speed on what can happen with their electric furnaces. Things aren’t always smooth, and when something goes wrong, we want you to be as informed as possible. While we’re always available to call for help, we want homeowners to know exactly when they should call for help.

Have you ever wondered about what keeps heat inside your home in the winter, and outside in the summer? Aside from the air that’s blown in through your HVAC system, and the walls of your home, there has to be something else that helps, right? Something sits in your attic between you and the cold (or heat) of the outdoor air and keeps you safe, healthy, and comfortable. This is called attic insulation, and it’s what we’re here to talk about.
Well, how is it? We’re not asking you rhetorically, we want you to truly think about the performance of your heater. It’s heating season here in Florida, and many homes are struggling to meet the demands of their owners. Heaters are chugging along as well as they can, and we want to let you know that we can help. We’re not just a team that’s dedicated to broken down heaters, but also to the ones that are struggling.
The outbreak of a pandemic this year has really pulled things into perspective. With COVID-19, we’re seeing just how easily something like a virus could spread, and it’s becoming more and more apparent how poor our indoor air quality is. It’s not anyone’s fault, least of all you, but something needs to be done about it. While tests and studies are still coming out about this virus in particular, other contaminants can be stopped in their tracks with 
We talk a lot about getting air conditioner maintenance on this blog. To give ourselves a little bit of credit, we do live in Florida, and air conditioners are run into the ground from all the heavy use if they aren’t maintained properly. AC maintenance is the first line of defense against costly repairs, issues of a shortened lifespan, and other problems that could be potentially devastating for your air conditioner and your wallet.
Let’s face it, we put a lot of strain on our air conditioners throughout the year. We marvel at the fact that our northern neighbors have air conditioners that are 20 years old, while ours can barely manage 15 with the sheer amount of cooling they’re tasked with doing. It’s so important that everyone in our area who has the luxury of utilizing an air conditioner’s warranty keep doing so for as long as possible.
It’s that time of year again! Another brutal summer has come and gone, and while we might still be dealing with a few hot days to come, the worst of it is over. So, how exactly did your air conditioner do? If you’re unsure as to how to answer that question, then don’t worry, we’ve got the solution for you. It’s time to give your air conditioner the grade it deserves!
There are plenty of scenarios that can happen when you turn your heater on for the first time this season. It can come on without a hitch and act like it did last season, which is the best possible outcome. It can turn on with some minor problems that make you raise your eyebrow high. Or, it could not even turn on at all—signaling something sinister at the bottom of it.
We are always baffled by homeowners who think their family member can install a new air conditioner. With how expensive, important, and complicated these systems are, it’s always a bad idea to have someone that’s not licensed and certified perform this type of work. Notice how we didn’t say sometimes, we said always.
Air conditioners have air filters that are meant to keep dust and debris out. This isn’t just for our own personal health, although it doesn’t hurt, it’s supposed to keep the coils of your AC clean from contaminants. Contaminants can cause the coil to become damaged which would ruin the effectiveness and efficiency of your cooling. So, long story short—replace your air filter today!
