Living in South Florida means your air conditioner works hard — almost year-round. But how often should you really service your AC system to keep it running smoothly and avoid surprise breakdowns?
Let’s break it down with data, not guesswork.
1. Florida Climate Demands More Frequent Maintenance
In a mild northern state, once-a-year AC service might be enough.
But in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, where systems often run 10–12 hours a day for 8+ months, experts recommend servicing twice a year:
- Spring: Before peak summer heat
- Fall: After heavy usage, to check wear and tear
This schedule isn’t overkill — it’s essential.
2. What Does an AC Tune-Up Include?
A professional HVAC maintenance visit should cover:
- Cleaning coils and drain lines (essential in humid climates)
- Checking refrigerant levels and pressure
- Inspecting electrical components and thermostats
- Testing airflow and duct integrity
- Lubricating moving parts to reduce friction
- Replacing or recommending air filters
At Colder of Miami Inc, our maintenance includes a full 15-point checklist and real-time reporting — so you see exactly what’s being done.
3. Why Regular Maintenance Saves You Money
Here’s what happens when you skip it:
- 10%+ increase in energy bills due to dirty coils or low refrigerant
- Shorter AC lifespan (sometimes by 3–5 years)
- Expensive emergency repairs for parts that could’ve been prevented
Servicing costs less than a single breakdown.
4. What About New Units?
Even new AC systems need maintenance. Most manufacturers require annual service to keep the warranty valid. And in Florida’s heat and humidity, that’s the bare minimum.
We recommend biannual servicing for new and older units alike — especially if:
- You live near the beach (salt can corrode coils)
- You have pets or allergies
- Your AC is older than 7 years
