Heating installation, repair and maintenance, plus HVAC system service and thermostats — commercial and residential.
Central Florida heating has an unusual failure pattern equipment sits idle for eight or nine months, then gets asked to work hard for a few nights in January, which is exactly when a fault that developed quietly back in June finally shows itself, on the one night every contractor in the region is fully booked. Most homes and light commercial buildings here run heat pumps rather than furnaces, and heat pumps fail in their own particular ways a reversing valve that won’t shift, a defrost board that’s stopped cycling, auxiliary heat staging that’s failed so the system is either freezing or burning through expensive resistance strips.
We install, repair and maintain heating systems for commercial and residential customers, along with the wider HVAC system service and thermostat work that goes with them and because heating and cooling are usually the same equipment here, a heating fault and a cooling fault are often the same underlying problem caught at different times of year. Thermostats deserve a mention of their own: a control sited above a lamp or in a draft reads a temperature the room never actually has, and a smart thermostat wired into a system that doesn’t support its staging will run auxiliary heat far more than it should the first sign is usually a January power bill.
The classic Florida failure. A system idle since spring, a fault that developed unnoticed, and a cold snap that finds it — on the one night the whole region is calling for the same thing.
A reversing valve that will not shift, or a failed defrost control. The system runs, air moves, and nothing gets warm. Distinct from a no-power fault and diagnosed differently.
Resistance strips are expensive to run and are meant to supplement, not carry the load. When staging fails or a thermostat is mismatched, they run far more than they should and the bill is usually the first clue.
Very often a ductwork or zoning problem rather than a heating fault. We diagnose the whole system, because replacing equipment that was never the problem is an expensive way to keep the symptom.
Commercial and residential, across the I-4 corridor and the wider Central Florida region.
October or early November, before the first cold snap. The logic is specific to this climate: a system that has been idle since spring is the one most likely to fail, and the failure always seems to arrive on the coldest night of the year when every contractor in Central Florida is already booked. A check in autumn turns an emergency into a scheduled visit, and that is most of the value.
Yes, and heat pumps are the common setup across most of Central Florida. They fail differently from furnaces — reversing valves, defrost boards, auxiliary heat staging — and they get misdiagnosed as generic no-heat calls fairly regularly. We diagnose them as heat pumps rather than treating every no-heat call the same way.
Usually because the auxiliary heat is doing work the heat pump should be doing. Resistance strips draw a great deal of power and are designed to supplement the system in genuinely cold conditions, not to carry the load. If staging has failed, or a smart thermostat is calling for auxiliary heat when it does not need to, you get heat — and a bill that reflects the most expensive possible way of producing it.
Yes, including on commercial sites with multiple zones. It is worth a short conversation first, because not every system supports every model — particularly heat pumps with multi-stage auxiliary heat, where the wrong control will happily run the expensive stage far more than necessary. We would rather have that conversation before you buy the thermostat than after.
It is worth it precisely because the system is used so little. Light use is what allows faults to sit undiscovered for months. Cooling problems announce themselves within days because the system runs constantly; heating problems wait until the one week you need them. A maintenance visit is simply the decision to find that fault at a time you choose.
Yes. Commercial heating in this region is often the same heat-pump or packaged equipment that handles cooling, so it sits inside the same service and maintenance program rather than being treated separately. For restaurants and businesses, that generally means one schedule covering the whole building.
