Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my heating system serviced in Florida?
Annual maintenance is recommended, ideally in fall before the cooler months. Since most Florida homes use heat pumps that also provide cooling, twice-yearly service (spring and fall) is ideal.
Does my heat pump need separate maintenance for heating and cooling?
Your heat pump uses the same components for both heating and cooling, so a single annual tune-up covers both modes. We check heating-specific components like the reversing valve during our inspection.
What are signs my heating system needs maintenance?
Signs include uneven heating, higher energy bills, unusual noises, the system cycling on and off frequently, or the system taking longer to reach the set temperature.
Can I do any heating maintenance myself?
You can replace the air filter regularly and keep the outdoor unit clear of debris. All other maintenance should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician.
