***Update as of August 31, 2022: The Non-Business Energy Property Tax Credits have been extended and apply retroactively through 12/31/2022. In 2023, there will be additional updates. Stay tuned for details!

Did you upgrade your air conditioner in 2021 or 2022? In addition to bringing you benefits like lower electric bills, your new AC could save you some cash this tax season.

In 2022, the government extended the Non-Business Energy Property Tax Credits on residential air conditioning equipment. This means that certain qualifying air conditioners and heat pumps installed through December 31, 2022 are eligible for a $300 tax credit.

 The tax credit also retroactively applies to new air conditioners installed in the 2018-2021 tax year. (The tax credit originally expired December 31, 2017.) If you have not previously claimed the Non-Business Energy Property Tax Credit, consult with your tax professional for details.

Valued Customers,

Hurricane Ian left our central headquarters for Symbiont Service Corporation without water, internet, power, or cell phone service. Several parked vehicles were damaged, signs were torn down, and water damage to some office spaces. The roadways out of Symbiont are blocked by fallen trees or flooding, and gas for our vehicles is in limited supply. It is difficult for some of the employees to report to work as their homes are also damaged.

Our East Coast Florida team is available for service if we can dispatch the service information to them. We are working on a plan through the weekend to set up partial operations by Monday, and we ask that you be patient with our response time. We value our customers and want to help as soon as possible.

My cell number is 941-716-8217; I am in the Sarasota area and currently have cell service.

I appreciate your understanding and hope you and your families are safe.

Take care,
Sandy King

When homeowners or commercial building owners in Englewood, Florida call our Symbiont Service Air Conditioning office and ask, “why is my AC making noise?” That is a red flag and prompts action on the part of our HVAC professionals. Why? Because if you’re hearing a noise that is new to you — chances are it is a problem that needs to be addressed. 

The last thing you want to do, on one of the hottest and most humid days in Florida is to have your HVAC go out. If you hear a noise, schedule a service call. Chances are it could be nothing, but you don’t want to take that chance and cross your fingers hoping the noise goes away. 

When you live in an area like Florida, it is crucial to have a working air conditioning unit and this is especially true if you have a health condition or are elderly. High heat and humidity in a home or office could prove to be fatal. 

What kind of noises might you hear?
