Yes. You must change the filter regularly. Based on our industry experience, we recommend changing it every 90 days or three months. This frequency may vary based on the age of your air conditioner system, its usage, your location, and whether you have pets. If you want, consult an experienced technician to understand exactly when you should change the air filter. Taking great care of your system can help prevent costly HVAC repairs down the road.

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. It measures how energy-efficient your air conditioner system is. The law requires every manufacturer to rate their A/C units for energy efficiency. Your A/C will also come with a SEER rating. The higher the rating, the more efficient the equipment. 

The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute outlines some of the current SEER standards. As of January 23, 2006, the minimum SEER rating of an air conditioner system in the United States is 13. Most systems operating today have a SEER rating of 16 but some highly efficient systems have a rating as high as 23. Contact our team to learn more about SEER ratings and which unit will work best for your HVAC installation project.

Leaking water builds up moisture inside your house, creating a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and bacteria. Mold can lead to many health problems such as a stuffy nose, wheezing, red or itchy eyes, or skin. So, you need to fix the leak immediately. 

From our experience, if your air conditioner system is leaking water inside the home, it’s usually a clogged condensate drain line. When dirt, dust, or mold gets trapped in the condensate line, it results in a leak since water cannot flow out. There could also be other reasons, like a broken condensate pan, faulty installation, or even low refrigerant levels. You should consult a local air conditioning repair service provider to help you identify and fix the problem. Choose our team for next-level service!

With over 15 years of local HVAC repair experience, we've seen that most Florida homeowners experience this frustrating issue. There are many reasons your A/C will ice up. It could be due to insufficient airflow across the condenser coil. Without proper heat exchange, the condenser coil will freeze. This may require you to check your air filter. 

Other reasons include a low refrigerant level, a dirty evaporator coil, or mechanical failures like a defective motor or relay. All of these reasons require professional help. Contact a trusted air conditioning service provider immediately.

With no cold air blowing, the inside temperature and humidity will rise. It can directly impact the health of your family and pets. There are several reasons for your air conditioner system to stop blowing cold air. 

One of the most common reasons that we see is leaking or low levels of refrigerant. Without enough refrigerant, the A/C will stop blowing cold air. A dirty or clogged filter can also prevent the cold air from entering your house. Debris sources like hair, lint, dust, and pollen build up in the air filter over time. Changing the filter can solve this problem.

Other causes include thermostat-related issues, malfunctioned or broken condenser coils, and blocked or clogged registers. You will need an expert to tend to this issue, whatever the reasons may be. So, call a reliable HVAC repair technician from our team at Razorback Air Conditioning as soon as possible.

A/C units may not run silently, but a weird noise coming from your A/C is a sign of malfunctioning. Besides, a noisy air conditioner system takes away your comfort!

There are many reasons for your A/C to make loud buzzing noises. It could be due to missing or broken isolation feet, refrigerant leaks, loosened parts, or a malfunctioning compressor. 

Usually, we see that when one part comes loose, it puts pressure on the rest of the components, which leads to loud noises. If unchecked, your A/C may stop working eventually. As these are not usual DIY issues, you should call an HVAC repair technician as quickly as possible.

There is nothing worse than your A/C not turning on in the intense Florida heat! But before you freak out, you will need to find out why it won’t turn on. It could be something as simple as your thermostat getting switched off. Try turning it on. If it doesn’t, check the batteries. Replacing the dead batteries should turn it on.

Another common issue we see is the circuit breaker getting tripped. A power surge can cause the circuit breaker to trip. Check your electrical panel and turn ON the OFF switch button. That should turn your air conditioner system on.

However, the issue may not always be so straightforward. It could be a clogged filter, blown-out fuse, motor malfunction, refrigerant leak, clogged drainage line, or false temperature readings, among other things. It’s difficult to trace the exact cause if you are no expert. Call an HVAC repair service provider from our team immediately. They can identify and fix the problem quickly.
