AC Maintenance Checklist for Florida Spring

March and April are the right months

Hernando County cooling load climbs hard in May. Catching a weak capacitor or low refrigerant in March means parts get ordered before peak season backlog hits.

What a real tune-up covers

• Capacitor microfarad test
• Refrigerant pressure check, both sides
• Condenser and evaporator coil cleaning
• Condensate drain flush
• Electrical contactor and amp draw
• Thermostat calibration

What you can do yourself

• Replace the air filter
• Clear leaves, mulch, and pine needles 2 feet around the outdoor unit
• Flush the visible drain line with a half-cup of distilled vinegar
• Check thermostat batteries

Then call

Anything inside the cabinet, refrigerant work, electrical, or coil cleaning past the surface — call our dispatch line and a licensed Hernando County partner will handle it.
