Seasonal Residents: Prepare Your Air Conditioner for the Florida Summer

Even while you’re up north for the summer, your air conditioner still plays a crucial role in your Southwest Florida home. Running your AC throughout the summer helps prevent mold and mildew, but the Florida intense heat puts strain on your system.

Every summer, we get dozens of SOS calls from seasonal residents with AC breakdowns. Often, by the time they discover the problem, their AC has been down for days, exposing their home to damaging humidity.

Two Simple Steps to Avoid AC Trouble

Before heading north, take these steps to reduce the risk of AC failure and to make handling an AC replacement from afar easier if needed.

#1 Schedule an AC Tune Up.

Would you drive your car cross-country without first checking to make sure it’s in good condition? In the same way, tuning up your air conditioner prepares it for the “journey” through the summer.

A professional tune up:

1. Helps Prevent Breakdowns: Your AC technician will check and clean your air conditioner, making sure it’s in top running condition. In doing so, he’ll be able to detect a potential problem before it becomes an issue. Preventative maintenance is almost always less costly – and less hassle – than repairing a broken system.
2. Lowers Cooling Costs: Over time, dust and debris builds up on your air conditioner coils, causing your system to run less efficiently. By cleaning the coils and other critical mechanical parts, your technician can increase the operating efficiency of your air conditioner, saving you money on your energy bill.
3. Increases Your AC’s Lifespan: Just like regular oil changes can make your car last longer, regular tune ups can increase your air conditioner’s serviceable life.

💡 Pro tip: Kobie Complete is offering an AC Tune Up for only $87 with this coupon! Also, ask about our preventative maintenance packages.

#2 Get a Free Quote on a New AC

If your air conditioner is over eight years old, we recommend getting a quote on a new system before you leave. At Kobie Complete, AC replacement quotes are always free – and having one on hand will not only give you peace of mind, but it will save you time and stress if your AC fails while you’re away!

With an AC quote, you can:

1. Know your options: Be armed with information about equipment options and pricing to make the best choice for your home.
2. Act fast: Avoid delays and make a quick decision if replacement is needed – before mold and mildew have a chance to take root in your home.
3. Work with a company you trust: Since you’ve established a relationship with a local HVAC contractor, you can avoid the hassle of hiring a company remotely.

💡 Pro tip: Check Kobie Complete’s current AC rebates page for deals on system replacement. You could save hundreds!
