Q: What is a SEER and HSPF Rating?

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings are essential when selecting a new air conditioning system. SEER measures the cooling efficiency of an air conditioner, while HSPF measures its heating efficiency. Generally, the higher these ratings are, the more energy efficient the unit is and the lower your energy bills.

Brandt from FL-Air-heating is very professional, friendly and willing to answer any questions the customer has. Brandt is thorough and very efficient in his work, both on time and in efficiency. I am completely satisfied with Brandt's service and would recommend him to anyone.

David Turner

This is an update to my initial review of FL-AIR Heating & Cooling almost a year ago. HVAC tech Brandt came to my home yesterday to perform routine maintenance on our air handler. He arrived on time. His manner was courteous and professional. Brandt's work was both careful and thorough from start to finish.

During a previous appointment Brandt noticed that the insulation on the inside of the handler's front panel was peeling off. He spray-glued it back into place and anchored the perimeter with a strong adhesive tape. I appreciate that he pays attention to the details.

Before leaving, Brandt gave me a brief verbal summary of all the items he had checked and serviced. In a nutshell, my experience with FL-Air has been excellent. I give them my highest recommendation.

Lee Brown

Efficient, clean, well prepared and gave me as much information as I asked for. Coming back to change my thermostats as the are unintelligible.

Sherri Scharber

My first experience with FL-Air Heating and Cooling was when I called for my mother to have her A/C serviced. I was so impressed with the customer service and professionalism. I have since called them on multiple occasions for my mother's A/C repairs and for my own service and repairs. They have extended office hours, which is convenient for those that work during regular business hours. The office staff and the technicians are very friendly and have gone above and beyond to accommodate our needs as quickly as possible. Brandt has been our technician each time we've needed someone to come out, and we love him! He is so courteous and always explains everything in great detail, so that we fully understand what the issues are and what can be done to fix them. I would highly recommend that you call FL-Air Heating and Cooling the next time you need your heating and AC unit serviced and/or repaired!

FAQs

When Should I Replace My Air Conditioner?

Age is one of the most important factors to consider when deciding whether or not to replace your AC system. Generally, it would be best if you replaced HVAC equipment that is more than ten years old. The older an AC unit is, the less energy efficient it becomes and the higher your energy bills will be. Suppose you have an older system and notice a drastic increase in your energy bill. In that case, it may be time to replace your air conditioning. In addition, if you also find that your Central Air Conditioning System is not cooling or heating your home effectively enough, it may be time to upgrade.

How Do I Choose A New AC Unit?

Several factors must be considered when selecting a new air conditioning unit. You will want to identify the type and size of AC unit that best meets your needs. The size and efficiency of your new AC unit should be based on the size of your home, insulation levels, and climate conditions. Additionally, you should ensure the HVAC equipment you choose is Energy Star-certified, which will help you reduce energy consumption.

At FL-Air, our expert technicians can help you select a suitable AC unit for your home. We'll provide a free estimate and work with you to identify the best air conditioning system that fits your needs and budget. Contact us today to find the perfect HVAC Solution for your Tampa home.

When Is the Best Time to replace my HVAC System?

The best time to replace your HVAC system is when it's no longer functioning correctly or efficiently. It may be time to upgrade if you're experiencing frequent repairs, decreased performance, or higher energy bills. Additionally, if your system is more than ten years old and has not been adequately maintained, replacing it with a newer model will help you save on energy costs and improve the overall efficiency of your home.

What is a SEER and HSPF Rating?

How long is the warranty on a new AC unit?

Most new air conditioning units come with a manufacturer's warranty covering parts and labor for a predetermined period. Typically, the duration of this warranty will depend on the type of AC unit you select. Higher-end systems may have more extended warranties than standard models, so be sure to ask your contractor about the specifics of your system's warranty before purchasing.

What size AC do I need?

The size of the AC unit you need depends on the size of your home, as well as its insulation levels and climate conditions. If you need clarification on which AC system is best for your home, our professional technicians can help. We'll conduct a thorough inspection to determine the type and size of air conditioning unit that will work best for your specific needs.

Afterward, we'll provide a free estimate and work with you to identify the perfect system for your Tampa home.

Can I Finance my AC Installation?

How Long Does AC Installation Take?

The time it takes to install a new air conditioning (AC) system can vary greatly depending on a variety of factors, such as:

The Type of AC System: Central air conditioning systems take longer to install than simpler systems like window units or split systems.

The Size and Complexity of Your Home: Larger homes with more rooms will take longer to install an AC system than smaller homes. Additionally, homes with complex layouts or hard-to-reach areas may require more time.

Existing Infrastructure: If existing ductwork is in good condition, the process can be faster because the contractor won't need to install new ducts. But it'll take longer if the ducts need to be repaired or replaced or if there's no ductwork (for central AC).

Unforeseen Challenges: Sometimes, unexpected issues may arise during the installation process, like discovering mold in the ducts, electrical problems, or incompatible components. Resolving these challenges can add time to the project.

After assessing your home and specific needs, our skilled Tampa AC technicians can give you an estimate based on your particular situation and give you a more accurate timeframe. On average, you can expect a new AC system installation to take anywhere from several hours for simple systems to several days for more complex central AC installations.

Which AC systems are most efficient?

The efficiency of an air conditioning system is measured by its Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the system is. Federal regulations in the U.S. require a minimum SEER rating of 14 for AC systems. Still, highly efficient models can have SEER ratings of 20 or more.

Some of the most efficient AC systems include:

Variable-Speed or Multi-Stage Air Conditioners: These units can adjust the amount of cooling by varying the compressor's speed providing just the right amount of cooling needed, rather than cycling on and off, which can be less efficient.

Ductless Mini-Split Systems: These systems can be very efficient because they cool individual rooms or zones in a home, allowing you only to cool the areas in use. There is also no loss of efficiency due to leaky ducts, as these systems do not use ductwork.
