NOAA storm reports for Osceola County show 8 hail days and 5 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.

Symptoms Worth a Service Call

  • The blower won't stop running
  • A yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue one
  • Banging, squealing or rattling from the furnace
  • The burners light, then shut off a few seconds later
  • The thermostat calls for heat and nothing happens

What Moves the Price

  • The furnace's age and brand, which affect parts availability
  • Whether the part is still under the manufacturer warranty
  • Which part failed: a flame sensor costs far less than a control board or blower motor
  • Night, weekend or holiday rates
  • The diagnostic or service call fee

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

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