Most AC problems St. Augustine HVAC sees on newer systems trace back to installation day. An oversized unit cycles on and off too quickly to dry the air, so a St. Augustine, FL home ends up cold and damp. An undersized unit runs flat-out through every heat wave and still falls behind. Either way, the equipment never reaches the efficiency on its label. Our fix is simple: a real load calculation built from your home's size, insulation, windows, sun exposure, and duct system, not a rule of thumb or the tonnage of the unit being replaced. It is the first step toward a system that performs for fifteen years.
The repair homeowners call us about most is AC Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
