Air conditioners in Broward County run most of the year, so many homeowners schedule maintenance once or twice a year. Near the water, salt air makes regular cleaning and inspection even more important. A technician can recommend a schedule for your system.

Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven cooling and a system that is 10 to 15 years old or more are common signs. A technician can inspect the equipment and explain your options before any work begins.

Common causes include a thermostat set to the wrong mode, a dirty air filter, a tripped breaker, a frozen evaporator coil, a failed capacitor or low refrigerant from a leak. Check the thermostat and filter first. If the air is still warm, turn the system off and call a technician, since running it may make the problem worse.

Ice on the indoor unit or the refrigerant line usually points to restricted airflow, such as a dirty filter or blocked vents, or to low refrigerant. Turn the AC off and set the fan to on so the ice can melt, then call a technician to find the cause. Running a frozen system can damage the compressor.

In humid Broward County, the most common cause is a clogged condensate drain line that backs up and overflows the drain pan. A cracked pan or a frozen coil can also cause leaks. Turn the system off to avoid water damage and have a technician clear the line or find the leak.

An oversized system that cools quickly and shuts off before it removes much moisture, a dirty coil, airflow problems or low refrigerant can all leave the air damp. South Florida humidity is high, so it is worth having a technician check the system, because lingering moisture can lead to musty smells and mold.

Change the filter regularly, keep up with maintenance, seal air leaks and keep ducts in good shape, use ceiling fans, close blinds on sunny windows and avoid setting the thermostat much lower than you need. An older, inefficient system is often the biggest factor, and a technician can tell you whether repairs or a replacement would help most.

SEER (and the newer SEER2) ratings measure how efficiently an air conditioner cools, and a higher rating generally means lower electricity use. Because cooling runs most of the year in Broward County, a more efficient system can pay back more here than in cooler states. Systems must meet a federal minimum rating, and a technician can compare options for your home and budget.

Size depends on more than square footage: insulation, windows, sun exposure, ceiling height and ductwork all matter, which is why a proper load calculation is the right way to size a system. A unit that is too big cycles on and off too often and removes less humidity, and one that is too small runs constantly without keeping up.

Usually yes. Florida building rules generally require a permit to replace an air conditioning system, and the local building department sets the details, so requirements in Hollywood can differ by city or county. Ask any contractor how permits and inspections are handled before you sign.

Many standard one-inch filters are changed every one to three months, and more often if you have pets or allergies or the system runs constantly, which is common in Broward County. Check the filter monthly and follow the size and replacement guidance for your system. A clogged filter reduces airflow and can lead to a frozen coil.

Before a storm, keep the outdoor unit clear of loose items and do not cover it, and consider turning the system off at the breaker if the power may surge or go out. After a storm or flooding, do not run the system until it has been inspected; a technician can check for damage first. Scheduling maintenance before hurricane season is a good habit.
