Symptoms Worth a Service Call

- The thermostat calls for heat and nothing happens

- The blower won't stop running

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
- Check the filter, the thermostat batteries and the breaker first. Those three cause a surprising number of no-heat calls.
- If the furnace is past 15, ask the tech to price both a repair and a replacement.
- Have the model and serial number from the furnace label handy. Parts get ordered faster.
