But right now it’s a Florida summer, it’s very hot, and your heat pump is chugging away in cooling mode. Then, one day, it won’t turn to cooling mode. Maybe you’re only getting room-temperature air from the vents. Or worse, the heat pump is putting out warm air. That’s not what you want your summer to feel like! Let’s examine why this problem might occur and help you find the best solution.

Now Is a Great Time for Regular HVAC Maintenance!

November 6th, 2023

It may sound odd that we’re recommending you arrange to have HVAC maintenance in Panama City, FL right now. The weather is hovering around that ideal point where it’s not hot enough to need the AC to run frequently and it’s not even remotely cold enough to justify putting on long sleeves.

But the best time to have your HVAC system inspected and tuned-up for the season ahead is during a time when you don’t need it. You won’t have to worry about going without your AC or heater during maintenance because you wouldn’t have either of them running anyway. 

HVAC maintenance is a biannual job, ideally done in spring to prepare for summer and then in fall to prepare for winter. We’re deep into fall right now, and even though we don’t experience extreme cold in Florida, it’s still important to make sure you’re prepared for the chillier days—especially since we live near the ocean. If you haven’t gotten your fall maintenance done yet, call us today to schedule it.
