In Florida, AC maintenance timing is different. Here's how often your system really needs professional service.
How Often to Service Your AC in Florida
Most manufacturers recommend annual service — but Florida isn't most places.
The Florida rule
Because our cooling season is so long and demanding, we recommend professional maintenance at least once a year, ideally in spring before peak heat. Homes that also use heating benefit from a fall check too.
Why it matters here
- Prevents summer breakdowns when you need AC most
- Controls humidity and mold
- Keeps energy bills down
- Protects your manufacturer warranty
What about filters?
Check monthly, replace every 1-3 months — more often with pets.
