How Often Should You Service Your AC in Florida?
Because Miami's cooling season never really ends, AC maintenance matters more here than almost anywhere in the country. Here's the schedule we recommend.
Twice a year is ideal
In Florida, we recommend a professional tune-up twice a year — spring before peak season, and fall. Systems that run this hard benefit from more frequent attention than the once-a-year national norm.
What a tune-up covers
- Coil cleaning (indoor and outdoor)
- Refrigerant level check
- Electrical and capacitor testing
- Condensate drain clearing
- Thermostat calibration and airflow check
It protects your warranty
Most manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep the warranty valid. Skipping it can void coverage on an expensive repair.
The easy way to stay on schedule
A maintenance plan handles the scheduling for you, keeps records for your warranty, and usually includes priority service and repair discounts.
