Make sure your Heat works before Winter hits.
It happens every year. The windows are open all October. You enjoy turning off our A/C, breathing the fresh air and lower your progress energy bill.
Then it happens, around Dec 15th. The first cold day of the year. Its not that cold in Florida, however, these block houses and terrazzo floors are awfully cold when its 45 degrees outside. You turn on our heat and....it doesn't work.
Don't be caught off guard this year. Have your Heating system checked out before you need it.
Call us to schedule your check up on your Heating and Air Conditioning system.

Florida Rebate Suspended!!!
Well, we knew it was too good to be true.
The Florida Energy and Climate Commission suspended the Energy Star HVAC rebate program as of Sept 15, 2010. This was a program giving homeowners up to $1500 for installing a qualified energy star Air Conditioning System and having their duct work tested to ensure proper size. That's a $1500 rebate on top of the $1500 tax credit being offered by the Federal Government.
The reason:
Our legislators are arguing this fact: Can Florida spend the money they (the state) received from the federal government for this rebate program without budget approval? There is not a line item in the budget since the budget was finalized in May, and this rebate did not arrive until august.
Governor Christ is pushing for this...asking the legislative Budget commission to release the funds.
We will keep you posted.......

Summer is Here---2010
Most of us went from heating season, to pollen season, to full blast air conditioning season, all in a couple weeks. We didn't have much time to enjoy having the windows open and smell the fresh air. Well, like I said, Summer is here!!
Remember to change your filters often this season. If you feel your system isn't working correctly, give Andy a call. IF your thinking of changing out your old and tired system, we have FPL rebates available, and you may qualify a 1500 tax credit. Remember this is only good until the end of 2010.
We are here for all your air conditioning needs. 727-447-1903

Looks like smoke is coming out of my air conditioner.
Did you see smoke coming out of your air conditioning unit this morning? We have received many calls from panicked customers. No need to panic.
Its cold here in Florida and our heat pumps are working overtime. Its so cold that ice forms on the outside of the heat pump unit. This is perfectly normal. The heat pump senses the ice and switches into defrost mode which causes the unit to look like it is smoking. What happens is the fan will stop spinning, and the valves will hold all the refrigerant inside the machine, and it will groan and shutter. You will see steam which looks like smoke. The unit is doing its job in defrost mode to melt the ice and will resume normal operation shortly. Do not shut off your system as this will interrupt the process. Its a scary sight but all is perfectly normal and a process that is typical of a heat pump system.
Don't have a heat pump? Straight cool systems are working even harder this season. Its so hard for a 5 or 7.5 kw heater to heat up a whole house in 30 degree weather. Now is the time to think about installing a heat pump. The heat is much warmer, cheaper and rebates are available from the power company. Feel free to call us for a free estimate. 727-447-1903 Deal directly with the owner and save!!
