FAQs
How often should I have my heating and cooling equipment serviced in Mulberry?
Because Mulberry experiences hot, humid summers and mild winters, both your air-conditioning and heating components work hard almost year-round. We recommend two professional tune-ups per year—one in early spring for the cooling side and one in early fall for the heating side. Regular maintenance keeps efficiency high, extends unit life, protects your manufacturer warranty, and allows small problems like refrigerant leaks or loose electrical connections to be corrected before they turn into expensive repairs.
What size HVAC system does my home need?
Proper sizing is critical; an oversized unit short-cycles and wastes energy, while an undersized unit runs constantly and never reaches the set temperature. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation that measures square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, air infiltration, and even local design temperatures for Mulberry. Once calculated, we recommend the correctly sized furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump that will maintain comfort, efficiency, and humidity control.
How can I improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in my Mulberry residence?
High humidity, pollen, and airborne pollutants are common in central Florida. To combat them: (1) Replace or clean filters monthly during peak season. (2) Consider a whole-home dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity between 40–50%. (3) Install a MERV-rated media filter or an electronic air cleaner to capture fine particles. (4) Add UV-C lights in the air handler to neutralize mold and bacteria on coils. (5) Schedule duct inspections; sealing or cleaning leaky ducts prevents dust and allergens from circulating.
Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air?
The most common reasons are a tripped breaker to the outdoor unit, a clogged air filter restricting airflow, a low refrigerant charge from a leak, or a frozen evaporator coil. Before calling for service, make sure the thermostat is set to COOL, the filter is clean, and both the indoor and outdoor units have power. If those items check out, shut the system off to prevent damage and schedule a diagnostic visit; our technicians will test pressures, check airflow, and locate any refrigerant or electrical issues.
Are heat pumps efficient in Mulberry’s climate?
Yes. Because Mulberry rarely sees prolonged freezing temperatures, a modern heat pump can both heat and cool your home very efficiently. In cooling mode it operates like a high-efficiency air conditioner; in heating mode it extracts ambient heat from outside air, eliminating the need for a separate furnace. Look for a unit with a high SEER2 rating for cooling and an HSPF2 around 8–9 for heating. A dual-fuel system can be paired with a gas furnace for backup heat on the rare very cold nights.
What incentives or financing options are available for new HVAC installations?
Customers in Mulberry may qualify for: • Federal tax credits of up to $2,000 on qualifying ENERGY STAR heat pumps and air conditioners. • Possible rebates from local utilities such as TECO Peoples Gas or Duke Energy for high-efficiency equipment. • Low-interest financing plans we offer through partner lenders, allowing payments to be spread over 6–120 months. Our comfort consultants will outline all available rebates and handle the paperwork so you get the maximum savings on your upgrade.
