Air Conditioner Maintenance, Repair Slideshow

Proper air conditioner maintenance is the key factor in

keeping overall a/c costs down

Often, in the course of repairing and maintaining air conditioners in Fort Myers, we encounter situations and scenario’s that need to be brought to the home owners attention.  Many times the air conditioner equipment we are servicing is on a roof top, or in an attic, or the home owner is unable to get to the equipment easily.  In order to be able to fully explain the precise nature of the problem, and the options available to fix it, it has been our policy to photograph these components, or the problems affecting them with our digital cameras, and use those images to explain the situation.  As a result we are often able to share these photo’s here and give interested parties an inside view the day to day challenges we face, and a greater understanding of the myriad of potential problems a typical a/c system may face.

 

 

Far too often the only way one can determine if a problem actually exists is to open up the air handler and package unit.  Without a thorough inspection by a knowledgeable contractor there are a myriad of potential hazards to the well being and efficiency of your expensive air conditioning equipment.

 

The cost of maintaining your air conditioner is far cheaper

than the cost of replacing it!

 

Get the most out of your air conditioning equipment ... maintain it!

The only reason this air conditioner has lasted 30+ years is because the owner kept up the maintenance! Most home owners will replace their a/c equipment every 10 to 15 years … an expense that can often times be avoided!!!

Electrical Problems Common In Air Conditioners

By on 03/02/2014 in Air Conditioner Repairs Ft Myers

“Wiring/electrical problems are one of the most common problems air conditioners face”

As a Ft Myers air conditioning contractor one of the most common problems I encounter on repair calls is a burned wire.  Air conditioners in SW Florida work in fairly extreme conditions.  Not only are a/c units sitting outside, exposed to sub-tropical heat and humidity, but also generate significant amounts of heat on their own.  This one two punch of internal and external heat sources is hard on all parts of ones HVAC equipment, and especially hard on the housing that insulates the wiring inside your equipment.

From Electrical Air Conditioner Problems – Ft Myers

 

By the time a wire is visibly damaged it has already been something of a detriment to your air conditioning equipment for some time.  Even a microscopic crack in the housing can cause arcing, minimal performance, and unnecessary strain on the various component parts that work independently, and in conjunction with each other, to provide a level of comfort that is satisfactory.  Any variance in the voltage has the potential to throw the balance “out of whack”, causing the equipment to work harder to achieve the desired result, which often translates into higher utility bills, and equipment that doesn’t last as long as it should.

 

 

From Electrical Air Conditioner Problems – Ft Myers

“… damaged or improperly wired air conditioning units will cost more to operate, and deteriorate faster than properly maintained and serviced units will …”

 

 

Another common problem that arises in today’s air conditioners is an extremely simple one … many customers don’t realize their thermostat now runs on batteries instead of being wired directly to the homes electrical panel.  We have gotten in the habit of asking our clients that call to check the batteries in their thermostat BEFORE we send a truck out on a service call.  Too many times have we arrived on the scene only to discover all the client needed to fix the problem was two batteries they already had, sitting in their kitchen drawer!

From Electrical Air Conditioner Problems – Ft Myers

“… the good news about electrical problems is that they are, generally speaking, among the easiest and least expensive to repair.”

Ft Myers Air Conditioning Solutions

“When repairing air conditioners … Knowledge and experience are your most valuable tools!”

Air conditioning service contractors in Ft Myers often see a wide variety of problems arise in their clients equipment. High humidity, damp conditions, and warm temperatures can cause a wide variety of vegetative growths within the equipment. During hurricane season winds and high water can damage parts of the a/c exposed to the elements. Our air conditioners work longer hours, throughout a much longer year than our counterparts in the north due to the SW Florida heat.

Often times property owners aren’t present when we perform our check-ups or make repairs, they have to be at work or are otherwise engaged. Other times … for instance if the equipment is in the attic or on a roof … it isn’t practical for them to climb to where the equipment is located. We have gotten in the habit of always taking a digital camera or our cell phone with us so we can take pictures and explain our findings to our customers. The presentation below has pictures that display some of the equipment we have repaired recently.

 

“Even after 44 years of repairing Ft Myers’ air conditioners … once in a great while I occasionally see a problem I haven’t encountered yet, but I haven’t encountered one yet that couldn’t be fixed!”

Every job is a little different than the other, from the location, to the problem, to the solution. After 40+ years of repairing a/c equipment in Fort Myers the variety of the challenges we face from day to day are a big part of what makes the job fun and interesting! When we find something of particular interest, new, or unique in any way we like to get a picture of it to share with the homeowner, and sometimes here as well.

UV Lights Help Your Air Conditioner Purify The Air In Your Home

By on 02/02/2014 in Air Conditioner Repairs Ft Myers

Air conditioning service companies in Ft Myers Florida have seen an increase in the number of U/V light kits they install. Although they have been on the market for years the general public has always seemed a bit skeptical about the effectiveness of the light kits. Now however, with more homeowners than ever using them and sales on the rise it appears that U/V lights for a/c units are more than a passing fad. They have been used for decades in the food preparation industry, and are also used in the Medical field to purify the air and minimize the growth of germs, bacteria, and other types of vegetative growth.

Barrage Of Cold Weather Puts Ft Myers Heaters To The Test

By on 01/22/2014 in Air Conditioner Repairs Ft Myers

Community Cooling and Heating Inc.

Ft Myers air conditioning/heating contractors have been scrambling to keep up with service calls to repair ineffective or non-working heating equipment across the SW Florida area.  For the most part Winters in the Fort Myers/Naples area are typically mild with an occasional cold front moving through now and then, lingering a day or so, and then moving back up north.  This year, however, we are experiencing an unrelenting barrage of cold fronts assaulting the area.  Before one cold front can make it’s retreat northward, another one moves south before our normal temperature range even has a chance to reassert itself.

 

Meteorologists are now predicting this may be the status quo from now until Spring!

For many in the area, given the relatively small amount of days throughout the year that heat is a necessity, people will elect to “tough it out”, break out an extra blanket or two, and wait for the weather to warm up.  This year has been different!  As it has become apparent that this year is turning out to be significantly colder than normal, folks in Ft Myers have become less tolerant with their level of discomfort, and are placing a greater priority on making certain their heating equipment is fully serviced and working properly.  And for good reason … cold weather not only creates a less than desirable environment to live in, but also, has the potential to impact the health and quality of  life of the elderly, children, and those who suffer from …

Air Conditioner Maintenance Saves YOU Money In The Long Run

By on 01/14/2014 in Air Conditioner Repairs Ft Myers
239-267-2117

Air Conditioner maintenance is tied directly to optimal efficiency,

cost effectiveness, and durability of your equipment!

Proper air conditioner maintenance is important no matter where you live, but it is critical in the South!  Air conditioners in Ft Myers, or any part of Florida require regular servicing to continue to cool your home as effectively as possible, and keep your electric bills low. Your air conditioner uses more electricity, and accounts for a larger percentage of your electric bill, than anything else in your house. How well it will perform (and last) is largely dependent on how well it is maintained!  The best way to avoid problems with your equipment, and to keep small problems from becoming large (and expensive) problems is to have a qualified contractor examine, assess, and service your equipment regularly!  An air conditioner is actually several different electrical, mechanical, and chemical actions working in sync to provide a specific, desired result.  When any single part of that balanced, interdependent, system becomes defective the other parts often begin to wear out prematurely.

Air conditioner maintenance saves YOU money!

… in Florida … every homeowner with a heater problem discovers that problem on the same night!

Often time heating service is the farthest thing from your mind until you discover you have a problem.  The first cold night of the year a LOT of people make that same discovery.  Cold weather is making it’s way to Fort Myers, whether this week or next, eventually a cold front will make it this far south and you will depend on your HVAC equipment to maintain the comfort within your home. Heating is an important issue when you’re used to 80 degree + days, and nights that aren’t often much cooler than the low 70’s.  Once accustomed to our subtropical climate we Floridians start to get pretty uncomfortable when the temperature drops to the low 50’s. It’s always a good idea to check your heating system before the weather turns cold.  If there is any problem you can find it, determine the best course of action, and  resolve the issue before you truly need the heat,   I recommend starting your heater with open windows to allow any smell, due to dust on the heater coil, to ventilate.  If all is well, and it usually is, you are ready for winter’s cold fronts and cooler temperatures …  if you find something amiss … call a local Fort Myers air conditioning contractor to repair the problem.  The most common causes of heating problems are …

Thermostat issues
Drafts, caulking, or insulation problems
Problems with restricted air flow
Bad electrical connections
Faulty or burned out coil

The best time for heating service is before you need the heat!

Having served the SW Florida community’s air conditioning needs for over 40 years there isn’t much we haven’t seen or repaired!  We have the experience, the knowledge, and the tools and equipment to satisfy all your heating and cooling expectations.
