Cold weather is upon us again in SW Florida. It might not get quite as cold as the weather our neighbors in the North get, but, to us “thin blooded” southerner’s it’s cold enough that we want to our jackets on hand, and our heat working properly. Most times, when the heater isn’t working properly, or to your satisfaction, a solution can be found rather quickly, without the need for expensive parts. The biggest problem with fixing the heater in SW Florida is you don’t know it’s broken until you need it most.

Regular maintenance of your air conditioning equipment should also include an inspection of your heating equipment as well. Far too often home owners aren’t aware there is a problem with their heater until they actually need it. Typically when the weather turns cold air conditioning contractors receive numerous calls for help and the home owner is without heat until the contractor can get there. By inspecting the heater before the weather turns cold you have full control over the comfort level in your home with the flick of a switch.

Our well stocked trucks, and well trained air conditioning technicians are always on call when you need air conditioner serve, repairs, or maintenance.

Barrage Of Cold Weather Puts Ft Myers Heaters To The Test

Ft Myers air conditioning/heating contractors have been scrambling to keep up with service calls to repair ineffective or non-working heating equipment across the SW Florida area. For the most part Winters in the Fort Myers/Naples area are typically mild with an occasional cold front moving through now and then, lingering a day or so, and then moving back up north. This year, however, we are experiencing an unrelenting barrage of cold fronts assaulting the area. Before one cold front can make it’s retreat northward, another one moves south before our normal temperature range even has a chance to reassert itself.

Meteorologists are now predicting this may be the status quo from now until Spring!

For many in the area, given the relatively small amount of days throughout the year that heat is a necessity, people will elect to “tough it out”, break out an extra blanket or two, and wait for the weather to warm up. This year has been different! As it has become apparent that this year is turning out to be significantly colder than normal, folks in Ft Myers have become less tolerant with their level of discomfort, and are placing a greater priority on making certain their heating equipment is fully serviced and working properly. And for good reason … cold weather not only creates a less than desirable environment to live in, but also, has the potential to impact the health and quality of life of the elderly, children, and those who suffer from …

… in Florida … every homeowner with a heater problem discovers that problem on the same night!

Often time heating service is the farthest thing from your mind until you discover you have a problem. The first cold night of the year a LOT of people make that same discovery. Cold weather is making it’s way to Fort Myers, whether this week or next, eventually a cold front will make it this far south and you will depend on your HVAC equipment to maintain the comfort within your home. Heating is an important issue when you’re used to 80 degree + days, and nights that aren’t often much cooler than the low 70’s. Once accustomed to our subtropical climate we Floridians start to get pretty uncomfortable when the temperature drops to the low 50’s. It’s always a good idea to check your heating system before the weather turns cold. If there is any problem you can find it, determine the best course of action, and resolve the issue before you truly need the heat, I recommend starting your heater with open windows to allow any smell, due to dust on the heater coil, to ventilate. If all is well, and it usually is, you are ready for winter’s cold fronts and cooler temperatures … if you find something amiss … call a local Fort Myers air conditioning contractor to repair the problem. The most common causes of heating problems are …

Thermostat issues

Drafts, caulking, or insulation problems

Problems with restricted air flow

Bad electrical connections

Faulty or burned out coil

The best time for heating service is before you need the heat!

What The News Press Had To Say About Us

TELL MEL ____________________________________________________- tellmel@newspress.com _____________________________________________________- Second opinion needed for AC fix _____________________________________________________ I don't usually do two air conditioning columns in a week, but Monday's column touched a nerve. So I thought I'd pass along some of the stories I've heard from AC company owners who have called. The first story comes courtesy of Kurt Hartmann of Community Cooling in Fort Myers. Hartmann gives free second opinions on other companies repair or replacement estimates. Recently, a woman who lives in a North Fort Myers mobile home park called him after another AC company had come to look at her unit. Several weeks earlier the woman had installed a thermostat and the AC worked fine. But when the weather turned cold, and she tried to get it to heat, the unit wouldn't work. She called a company, which will remain nameless. The technician removed the cover on the thermostat, examined it, and then went to look at the unit. His diagnosis: She needed a new relay and transformer. Total $2,300. Fortunately, the homeowner decided to brave the cold for a day and get a second opinion. Her unit was only six years old and she couldn't believe it needed such an expensive repair. When Hartmann's guy arrived, he too popped the cover off the thermostat. There he saw a switch with two positions for the heat - gas and electric. This thermostat had the switch in the position for gas, but she, like most people in Southwest Florida has an electric unit. When the thermostat was switched to the electric mode, the heater "worked like a champ" Hartmann said.
