Whether you’re considering an air conditioner replacement or have recently purchased a home with an HVAC unit and you’re concerned about it and have questions.
A/C FAQs For Florida Homeowners
First, call the air conditioning professionals from Symbiont Air Conditioning in Englewood, Florida answer frequently asked questions.
- How long will the unit last? The lifespan for an HVAC unit, a ductless air conditioning system or a heat pump can last more than a decade with proper care and maintenance.
- How to protect your HVAC unit? Change the air filters, keep the area around the unit clean and schedule air conditioning maintenance inspections at least two times a year.
- Why is the air conditioner freezing up? If you notice frost or ice building up on the refrigerant lines or the evaporator, it could be caused by airflow issues, dirty coils, a clogged air filter or an issue with the compressor.
- Why is it leaking water? The air conditioning professionals at Symbiont Air Conditioning explain that algae clogging the condensate drain can lead to leaks. Leaking can because the evaporator is thawing. If you notice water leaking, give us a call to inspect the unit and check for damage.
- How often does the air filter need to be checked, cleaned or replaced? The air filter should be inspected monthly. The filter needs to be replaced if it is dirty. HEPA or high-efficiency filters have a useful life of about six months to a year. Basic fiberglass filters will need to be replaced at least quarterly. If you have pets in the house you may want to inspect and clean the filters more frequently.
How do you know when you need to replace the HVAC unit?
The Symbiont Service Air Conditioning professionals explain that if your unit is frequently breaking down, is costing more to run or is having many repairs and replacement issues, you may find it more cost-effective to replace.
