Air Conditioning in Florida: what's different
Air Conditioning across Florida depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 1–2). In hot-humid climates the air conditioner removes moisture as well as heat, so refrigerant charge, airflow and a clear condensate drain matter as much as raw capacity. Oversized systems short-cycle and leave rooms clammy.
In Florida specifically: salt-air corrosion. Coastal outdoor units corrode quickly. Coated coils and fresh-water rinses help them last. Mold and drain clogs: Constant dehumidification makes clogged condensate drains and mold in air handlers common problems.
Florida licenses air conditioning contractors through the Construction Industry Licensing Board, with Class A, B and C classifications. You can verify a license through the state's DBPR license lookup. Common systems in Florida: Heat pumps, Central AC with heat strips, Ductless mini-splits, Whole-home dehumidifiers.
FPL serves much of the state, with Duke Energy Florida, TECO (Tampa Electric), JEA, OUC and municipal utilities in other areas.

FAQ
Air Conditioning questions in Florida
Can I get air conditioning service anywhere in Florida?+
Our contractor network covers many Florida ZIP codes. Call with your ZIP code and we will tell you whether a licensed contractor serves your address.
How long do AC systems last in Florida?+
Often 10–15 years, and less near the coast, because of year-round use, humidity and salt air.
Should I run my AC after a hurricane flood?+
No. If the outdoor unit or air handler was under water, have it inspected before turning it on to avoid electrical damage and safety risks.
How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?+
Age, refrigerant type and the failed part decide it. A newer system with a bad capacitor or fan motor is a repair. An older R-22 system with a failed compressor or leaking coil is usually a replacement.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?+
Common causes are a dirty filter or coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed outdoor fan or capacitor, or a frozen indoor coil. Turn the system off if you see ice and call for a diagnosis.
