FAQs

In Florida's hot and humid climate, your AC works nearly year-round. That's why Air America recommends two maintenance visits per year, once in the spring and again in the fall. This ensures your system is clean, efficient, and ready for the intense summer heat. Be sure to contact us if you need air conditioner contractors.

Our comprehensive maintenance checklist provided by our air conditioner contractors includes a full system inspection, coil cleaning, a refrigerant level check, an electrical safety check, thermostat calibration, clearing and flushing the drain line, inspecting ductwork, and air filter replacement or cleaning. This ensures your system runs smoothly, efficiently, and safely.

Florida’s climate puts extra strain on AC systems due to high humidity, salt air exposure, and long run times. Regular maintenance from Air America's experienced air conditioner contractors helps reduce breakdowns, improve cooling performance, keep energy bills lower, extend equipment lifespan, and maintain healthy indoor air quality.

Absolutely. A well-maintained air conditioner operates far more efficiently. In our experience, when coils are clean, refrigerant levels are correct, and airflow is optimized, your system doesn't have to work as hard, often resulting in 10-20% lower energy costs during peak season. Our air conditioning contractors can help address energy-related inquiries that may arise.

If you notice weak airflow or uneven cooling, strange noises such as banging, buzzing, or rattling, unusual odors like musty, burning, or chemical smells, rising energy bills, water leaking from the unit, or your AC running longer than usual, it’s time to call our experienced air conditioning contractors at Air America.

If your air conditioner shows signs such as warm air blowing from vents, weak or inconsistent airflow, strange noises like buzzing, grinding, or rattling, unusual odors such as musty, burning, or chemical smells, water leaks or clogged drain lines, ice forming on coils, or sudden spikes in your energy bill, it’s time to call Air America, your experienced air conditioning contractors.

Air America typically recommends repairing your AC if it is still under 10 years old and the issue is minor. A replacement may be the better investment when your system is 12–15+ years old, requiring frequent repairs, not cooling effectively even after service, using outdated refrigerant like R22, or causing high electric bills due to poor efficiency. According to AirDucts.com, the NADCA recommends that most homes clean their air ducts every three to five years. As experts in AC repair and AC installation, our technicians always give honest recommendations based on cost, condition, and long-term value.
