Common Cooling Systems Issues We Solve in Archer

High Energy Bills

Older, inefficient units cost $50-100+ more per month to operate than modern high-efficiency systems in Florida.

FAQs

Cooling Systems Questions from Archer Homeowners

helpWhat size AC do I need in Florida?

Proper sizing requires a Manual J load calculation considering your home's square footage, insulation, windows, orientation, and more. As a rough guide, most Gainesville-area homes need 2.5-4 tons, but exact sizing prevents humidity and comfort issues.

helpIs a higher SEER worth the extra cost?

In Florida, absolutely. With 8-10 months of AC operation, the energy savings compound quickly. A 16 SEER2 system typically pays back the premium over a 14 SEER2 in 3-5 years, with ongoing savings after that.

helpHow often should I replace my AC in Florida?

With proper maintenance, quality systems last 12-15 years in Florida's demanding climate. Consider replacement at 10+ years if repairs exceed $1,000, the system uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out), or energy bills keep climbing.
