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.

FAQ
AC Repair questions
Should I add a surge protector to my AC in Orlando?+
Many Central Florida techs recommend one because lightning-related surges frequently damage AC electronics.
Should I repair or replace my AC?+
Repair is usually the right call if the system is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than a third of a new system. Past 12–15 years in Las Vegas heat, or with an R-22 leak, replacement often makes more sense.
Why does my AC run but not cool?+
The most common causes are a dirty filter or coil, a failed outdoor fan motor or capacitor, or low refrigerant from a leak. A tech can tell which with a pressure and temperature test.
