"HUGE thanks to whoever recommended ABC Air Solutions! They came out same day, fixed our AC for $180 when another company quoted $650 for the same repair. This group saves me so much money! 💙"

"Update on the flooding in my Windermere neighborhood: My sump pump saved my house! For anyone on the fence about getting one, DO IT. Water was 2 inches from getting in. Best $400 I ever spent 🙏"

Essential Florida Home Maintenance

Florida's unique climate requires special attention to keep your home in top condition. Here are key tasks to perform regularly:

Bi-Annual Maintenance

  • HVAC System: Clean or replace filters, check refrigerant levels, and inspect ductwork
  • Roof Inspection: Look for missing, damaged, or loose shingles and check for leaks
  • Gutter Cleaning: Clear debris to prevent water damage and mosquito breeding
  • Exterior Paint: Inspect for peeling or cracking that could lead to moisture damage
  • Window/Door Seals: Check and replace weather stripping to maintain energy efficiency

Annual Maintenance

  • Termite Inspection: Essential in Florida's humid climate to prevent structural damage
  • Hurricane Prep: Check shutters, trim trees, and review insurance coverage
  • Water Heater: Drain and flush to remove sediment buildup
  • Irrigation System: Check for leaks and adjust sprinkler heads for efficiency
  • Deck/Patio: Inspect for rot, reseal if necessary, and check for loose boards

Pro Tip: Seasonal Adjustments

In Florida, adjust your maintenance schedule based on seasons. Focus on hurricane preparedness before June 1st (start of season) and schedule HVAC checks before the intense summer heat arrives.
