AC Repair in Orlando: what's different

Orlando's afternoon thunderstorms make lightning and power surges one of the top causes of AC repairs, damaging control boards, capacitors and compressors. Many homes in the area have air handlers in garages, where heat and humidity add stress.

Neighborhoods built in the 1980s and 1990s often still have original ductwork and air handlers, so repairs may be weighed against replacement. Clean condensate drains and surge protection are two of the most common recommendations from local techs.

Ask the tech to check the float switch and drain line on every visit. Clogged drains in Orlando's humidity are one of the most common reasons an AC shuts off, and they're inexpensive to fix early.

Orlando climate

Hot, humid summers with daily storms, mild winters, and hurricane risk.
