Frequently asked questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Should I replace or repair my Air Conditioner?
    Wear and tear over time can cause your air conditioner to start operating insufficiently. If your system is a decade old or more and isn’t working as efficiently as before, a Suncoast AC & Heat qualified professional can assess your unit and help you make an informed decision.
  • How often should I replace my Air Conditioner?
    We recommend replacing any AC unit over 10-years old. It is also important to remember that as an air conditioner ages, compatible mechanical parts often become obsolete or difficult to find. This will make future repairs complicated and expensive. It is also important to remember that as an air conditioner ages, compatible mechanical parts often become obsolete or difficult to find.

  • How often should I service my Air Conditioner?
    Most homeowners have their AC units serviced annually to keep air conditioners running adequately. However, we recommend AC maintenance every six months or bi-annually, once in spring and again in fall. This is to make sure that everything is working as it should before a harsh winter or humid summer.
  • Why is Air Conditioner maintenance important?
    The more an HVAC system is taken care of, the more we can extend its useful life and provide cooling and heating to a home, commercial premises, building or industry. With proper HVAC maintenance, a unit can last for over 10 years. Considering the investment that goes into installing an HVAC unit, it makes sense that they would want to keep that unit running well for as long as possible. As with the life of the HVAC system, a well-maintained HVAC unit will run more efficiently. Studies show that dirty or unmaintained units need to work 20% harder to produce the same amount of cold or heat as a well-maintained machine. Less energy will be expended when running, which means less stress on machine components. Less wear and tear on the machine means easier maintenance during the spring and fall months. Maintenance will go much faster and smoother if one person takes the preventive measures to keep the system running in top shape.

  • Should I repair or replace my Heating system?

When a repair exceeds 50% of the cost of a new system, we recommend upgrading to a modern unit that is more energy-efficient and in better condition. You should seriously consider replacing your heater if: Your heat pump is over 10 years old Your boiler, furnace, or gas heater is over 15 years old Your unit is unevenly or inadequately heating your home Your system is outdated and incurring high energy bills You lack a programmable thermostat Your heater needs frequent repairs Your system is exacerbating humidity levels and poor indoor air quality
  • What is the average life span of a Heating System?
    The average life expectancy of heating systems is getting longer as technology and maintenance techniques improve. A well-maintained furnace can last 15 to 20 years, and a boiler can last up to 30 years if regularly serviced.
  • How do I know that my heating system needs to be replaced?
    As a heating system ages, expensive repairs and replacements will increase in frequency. When a repair exceeds 50% of the cost of a new system, we recommend upgrading to a modern unit that is more energy-efficient and in better condition.
