Change filters regularly
Check filters monthly during peak summer. Restricted airflow reduces cooling, freezes coils, and strains the blower. Use the filter rating your system supports.
Keep the outdoor unit clear
Maintain clearance around the condenser. Remove leaves, grass clippings, and debris. Rinse coils gently if dusty—never bend fins aggressively. Coastal properties may need more frequent attention.
Schedule professional tune-ups
At least once a year (ideally before summer), have a licensed technician check refrigerant, electrical connections, drainage, and overall performance. Stone Cold Services offers residential and commercial HVAC maintenance across SWFL.
