Most homes are concrete block on slabs with air handlers in garages or closets and pool cages. Many homes were built in the 2000s housing boom and are on similar-age equipment. Most lots back onto canals, so outdoor units often sit within a few feet of salt or brackish water. Many older homes from the 1970s and 1980s have small attics with ducts in tight spaces. For emergency AC Repair, that means the contractor should start with tell us what's happening and confirm what is actually installed before quoting. Another local pattern worth mentioning to the tech: storm surge damage. Ian flooded many garages and destroyed air handlers and outdoor units.
