Frequently Asked Questions
-
If your vents are blowing air but the temperature isn't dropping, your system is likely failing to move heat out of the house. In Florida, this is commonly caused by a heavily clogged air filter or an outdoor condenser unit that is caked in dirt or salt air. It can also indicate a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, or an evaporator coil that has frozen into a block of ice. Check your air filter first; if it’s gray or caked in dust, replace it and see if the air temperature improves after an hour.
-
Deciding whether to repair or replace usually comes down to three factors: the age of the system, the frequency of the breakdowns, and your monthly power bill. In Florida, most AC units have a lifespan of about 10 to 12 years because they run nearly year-round. If your system is over a decade old and you are calling for repairs more than once a season, you are likely putting "good money after bad." At that point, the cost of an expensive repair like a compressor or an evaporator coil is often better spent on a new, high-efficiency system that comes with a full warranty and lower monthly operating costs. Some homeowners use a 20% rule. If the costs of repairs are equal to 20% of buying a new one then it may be time to invest in a new air conditioner sooner rather than later.
-
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It is essentially the "miles per gallon" rating for your air conditioner. The higher the SEER number, the less electricity the unit uses to cool your home. Because AC units in Florida run for thousands of hours a year, the SEER rating has a direct impact on your monthly power bill. Modern high-efficiency units typically start at 14 SEER, while older units are often 10 or 12. Upgrading to a higher SEER can significantly reduce your cooling costs over the life of the system.

I’ve been using Affordable Air since 2020 and I’ve never had an issue. Everyone that has come to service outlet unit has been knowledgeable and professional. All of them are good with our overactive dog as well. Highly recommended.

We called Affordable based on a Facebook community recommendation, and we couldn't be happier with the service. They came early the same day, and Tyler performed a thorough, detailed assessment of our heating/AC unit, both inside/outside. The price was fair, and we were given the info needed to feel secure in our next steps. We would definitely call again for anything needed in the future.
