An AC blowing warm air is most often caused by low refrigerant from a leak, a frozen evaporator coil, a dirty air filter restricting airflow, or a failing compressor. Some causes are quick fixes, but low refrigerant signals a leak that needs professional repair. Have a licensed technician diagnose it before the problem worsens.

You should have your AC professionally serviced at least once a year, ideally in spring before the South Florida cooling season. Because of the year-round heat and humidity here, many homeowners schedule maintenance twice a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent common breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently.

In Florida's hot, humid, coastal climate, a central AC system typically lasts 10 to 15 years. Salt air near the coast and constant year-round use can shorten that lifespan, so consistent annual maintenance is the best way to get the most years out of your equipment.

As a general rule, replace your AC if it's more than 10 years old and a repair would cost more than half the price of a new unit; otherwise, repair is usually the smarter choice. Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, and use of the older R-22 refrigerant also point toward replacement. We'll give you an honest recommendation, not a sales pitch.

An AC leaking water is usually caused by a clogged condensate drain line, which is very common in humid South Florida. Other causes include a dirty air filter, a damaged drain pan, or low refrigerant causing a frozen coil. A drain line flush typically resolves it; we recommend having it cleared before it causes water damage.
