Orange County had 14 hail days and 21 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. 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). A repair usually goes ahead without a permit, but the tech handling refrigerant must hold EPA 608 certification. Ask the company for its Florida license or registration number before the visit.
Before You Hire

- Maintenance plans often put members first in line for emergency calls.
- Keep space heaters away from curtains and bedding, and never heat the house with a gas oven.
