Keep Your Cool When Florida Heat Strikes
Living in Central Florida means dealing with intense heat and humidity for much of the year. As temperatures soar during summer months, your air conditioning system becomes one of your home’s most critical components. Ferran Services understands the importance of maintaining your HVAC system to ensure optimal performance when you need it most.
Preventative Maintenance Checklist
To keep your AC running efficiently throughout the summer season, follow these essential maintenance steps:
- Replace or clean air filters monthly
- Clear debris from outdoor units
- Check and clean condensate drain lines
- Verify thermostat accuracy
- Inspect ductwork for leaks or damage
Regional Considerations
Whether you’re in Orlando, Winter Park, or Lake Mary, Florida’s unique climate presents specific challenges for HVAC systems. High humidity levels and salt air (especially in Volusia) can accelerate wear on system components. Regular maintenance becomes even more crucial in these conditions.
Energy Efficiency Tips
Maintaining comfort while managing energy costs requires a strategic approach:
- Program your thermostat to 78°F when home and higher when away
- Use ceiling fans to improve air circulation
- Seal windows and doors to prevent cool air loss
- Schedule regular professional maintenance
Warning Signs to Watch
Don’t wait for complete system failure before calling for service. Watch for these indicators:
– Unusual sounds or odors
– Inconsistent cooling
– Higher than normal energy bills
– Poor airflow
– Frequent cycling

Remember that professional inspection twice yearly is recommended, with special attention before peak cooling season. This proactive approach helps prevent unexpected breakdowns when cooling is most critical and helps maintain optimal indoor air quality for your family.
By following these guidelines and partnering with experienced professionals, you can maintain a comfortable indoor environment while maximizing your system’s efficiency and longevity.
