Getting this wrong is how people come back to a house full of mold. - [Heat Pumps](https://trueacrepair.com/services/heat-pumps): Heat pump installation, repair, and maintenance.

Multiply the age of the system by the cost of the repair. If the result is over $5,000, replace it; if it is under, repair it. A 10-year-old system facing a $600 repair gives you 6,000, so that leans replace. It is a rough guide rather than a law, and on this coast it leans further toward replacement than it would inland, because salt exposure shortens equipment life here. ### What is the 3-minute rule for air conditioners? Wait at least three minutes before restarting an air conditioner after it shuts off. Restarting sooner can make the compressor try to start against high refrigerant pressure that has not equalized yet, which is hard on it and can trip the breaker. Most modern thermostats enforce the delay on their own. ### What is the average lifespan of an AC unit in Florida? Shorter than the manufacturer figure. Florida systems run close to year round, so a well-maintained inland unit commonly reaches 12 to 15 years. Within a few miles of the Gulf, where salt corrodes the outdoor coil and electrical components, 8 to 12 is more realistic without proactive corrosion care. ### What does a typical AC repair cost? The cost depends on what failed. Contact us to arrange an inspection and discuss the repair options. ### Why is my AC running but not cooling? The common causes are a dirty filter restricting airflow, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor stopping the outdoor fan, a frozen evaporator coil, or a clogged condensate drain shutting the system down on its float switch. If the house is at temperature but still feels damp, that is a different problem: usually an oversized system that short-cycles and never dehumidifies. ### Do you offer emergency AC repair in Englewood? Yes. True AC of Southwest Florida provides 24/7 emergency air conditioning service in Englewood and nearby communities. Call (941) 229-6946 any time. ### How often should an AC be serviced? Once a year is the floor. For homes within a few miles of the Gulf, including Manasota Key, Grove City, Placida, and much of Englewood, twice yearly is the better call. The difference is almost entirely about how often the condenser coil gets rinsed of the salt that corrodes it. ### How quickly can a technician get to my home?
