Summer is just around the corner.

The groundhog didn't see his shadow.  That means spring is on its way.  In Florida, Spring turns into Summer quickly, so are you ready?

We suggest you do the following to prepare for this years cooling season.

•Purchase 6 months of filters and change them monthly. Changing your filters monthly will allow your system to breathe. A system that can breathe will have less repairs and will take longer to wear out.

•Clean any debris away from your condenser. Use a garden hose to "blast off" any leaves or dirt that might "starve" your condenser of air.

•Purchase a programmable thermostat. You will find that setting your air a few degrees higher when you are not home will save you money.

•Have a check up performed on your air conditioning system. Click on this link for more information. http://www.clearwaterac.com/ResidentialServiceAgreements.html

•Think about replacing your worn out system with a new high efficiency system. Most air conditioners break during the peak of the cooling season. You don't want to be vulnerable and have to wait for days for a new system and not make the right product choice in the "heat" of the moment

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.......

Pictures---Remember to change your FILTERS!!

You hear it over and over gain, "Change your filters", in order to maintain an healthy and long lasting air conditioning system.

We recently changed an air handler for a customer who either did not change their filter, or did not use a filter at all. See pictures below:

Here is a picture of a customers air handler who routinely changed their filters:

Failing to change your filters will result in higher electric bills and cause your air conditioning system to fail before its time.

Just another reminder to "Change your FILTERS!!!!"
