Cooling carries most of the load, which is why compressors and condenser fan motors wear out faster here than in northern cities. Freezing nights are rare here, but a normal year brings 111 days over 90°F.

Alafaya Housing Stock
Half the homes in Alafaya were built before 2002 (Census ACS median), so the typical house is about 24 years old. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. About 21,000 households here own their home, 65.1% of the occupied total. With a median household income of $98,289 and a median home value of $391,900, local labor rates come out above the national middle in our model.
NOAA storm reports for Orange County show 14 hail days and 21 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 1.75 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. Orange County also had 3 tornado days in that period.

Florida Licensing and Efficiency Rules
Florida is in the DOE's Southeast region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). Most repairs don't need a permit. Anyone who opens the refrigerant circuit does need EPA Section 608 certification, and in Florida the company should carry a state license or registration. Ask for both.
Before You Hire
- Keep space heaters away from curtains and bedding, and never heat the house with a gas oven.
- If the CO alarm goes off, get everyone outside and call 911 or the gas company before you call an HVAC company.
- Maintenance plans often put members first in line for emergency calls.
