Spring in Florida isn’t just about blooming flowers and beach days—it’s also the perfect time to get your HVAC system in shape before the summer heat hits. A little prep now means a cooler, more comfortable, and energy-efficient home all season long.
Here’s your easy spring HVAC checklist to help avoid surprise breakdowns, reduce energy bills, and extend the life of your system:
✅ 1. Replace Your Air Filter
Start fresh! A dirty filter restricts airflow and forces your system to work harder. We recommend replacing it every 1–2 months, especially in homes with pets or allergy sufferers.

✅ 2. Clear Debris Around Your Outdoor Unit
Leaves, mulch, and plants can block airflow. Keep 2–3 feet of clear space around your outdoor condenser unit so it can breathe and operate efficiently.
✅ 3. Clean Your Air Vents and Registers
Dust and debris can build up on vents and registers, restricting airflow and spreading allergens. Give them a quick vacuum or wipe-down to keep things flowing smoothly.
✅ 4. Test Your Thermostat
Before the temperatures soar, set your A/C to cool mode and test the system. If it doesn’t respond or cool quickly, it may be time for a professional inspection—or a smart thermostat upgrade for better efficiency.

✅ 5. Inspect Your Ductwork (Or Let Us Do It!)
Leaks or cracks in your ductwork can waste up to 30% of your cooling energy, costing you money each month. We offer duct inspections as part of our seasonal maintenance.
