Filter maintenance may not top your list of concerns. Your air conditioner and furnace continue to chug along, with or without your attention. But filter maintenance shouldn’t be ignored, even during milder seasons in Southwest Florida. Read More
Because of our long, hot and humid summers, most homes in Southwest Florida require some sort of dehumidification system to feel comfortable. Many air conditioners come with a dehumidifying function, but because their main role is to cool the air, they can’t always achieve ideal humidity levels. 
When you’re making a heat pump upgrade, keep the lifetime costs of your investment in mind as well as the sticker price. In the long run, operating costs will outweigh your upfront expense — so it’s important to weigh energy efficiency heavily when you’re choosing a new heat pump. The heat pump you buy will affect your household’s finances for years to come. 
Much like buying a new car or upgrading a large appliance, you want to be sure you have received the most from your existing equipment before you make a major investment. However, if you wait too long, costly repairs and poor performance could end up being more expensive. The same is true when you decide to replace an HVAC system: you want to get the most from your existing equipment while avoiding breakdowns and discomfort. 
Even on the hottest Florida summer day, it can be uncomfortable to feel an icy blast of cold air when your air conditioner kicks on. With a variable-speed air handler, you get a constant flow of heated or cooled air, so you have more precise comfort control all year long. 
Your heating and cooling system is just that — a system. Several components play a role in the overall energy efficiency of the system, including the HVAC equipment, ductwork, thermostats and your home. 
When it comes to thermostat options, you basically have two choices: manual or programmable. Both of them are easy to use, but only a programmable thermostat will help you increase energy savings without sacrificing home comfort. 
Because air conditioners are used so frequently during the long cooling season in Southwest Florida, 
Programmable thermostats are an excellent way to save on heating and cooling bills, but energy management thermostats make energy savings even easier. You already use your smartphone or computer to check the weather, make purchases and set calendar reminders. Why not use the same technology to keep your home comfortable? 
Buying a new HVAC system is not like getting a new pair of shoes — you can’t just pick the features you like and get the same size as before. Even if your contractor did a careful calculation the last time you purchased home comfort equipment, you should not assume that your needs have not changed. -
