South Florida's heat and humidity put extreme demands on AC systems. Here's the complete seasonal checklist every Miami homeowner should follow.
South Florida's climate is one of the most demanding on HVAC equipment in the United States. With temperatures averaging 89°F in summer and humidity regularly exceeding 80%, your air conditioner runs nearly year-round — far longer than systems in northern states.
Pre-Summer Checklist (March/April)
- Replace or clean air filters
- Clean evaporator and condenser coils
- Flush condensate drain line
- Check refrigerant level
- Inspect electrical connections and capacitors
- Test thermostat calibration
Post-Summer Checklist (October/November)
- Replace filters again
- Check for drain line buildup
- Inspect ductwork for leaks
- Test heating elements if equipped
