🚨 Don't Risk Heat-Related Illness

Miami temperatures regularly hit 90-95°F with 80%+ humidity. Without AC, indoor temperatures can reach 100°F+ in hours. This is dangerous for children, elderly, and anyone with health conditions.

CDC warns: Indoor heat can be deadly. If your AC fails in Miami, it's an emergency - call immediately.

Why AC Units Fail Faster in Miami

South Florida's tropical climate is brutal on air conditioning systems

🌊

Saltwater Air Corrosion

Miami's coastal salt air destroys AC coils, compressors, and electrical connections 3-5x faster than inland. Most Miami AC units last only 10-12 years vs 15-20 inland.

HOW WE FIX IT:

Marine-grade coil coatings, corrosion-resistant parts, monthly salt-spray protection treatments

💦

Year-Round Extreme Humidity

Miami's 70-90% humidity forces AC units to work overtime removing moisture, not just cooling. This is why your AC runs constantly and still feels muggy.

HOW WE FIX IT:

Oversized dehumidification systems, proper drainage, humidity sensors, variable-speed compressors

🌀

Hurricane Season Preparation

Storm damage, power surges, debris impact, flooding - your AC takes a beating during hurricane season. Most Miami AC failures happen June-November.

HOW WE FIX IT:

Surge protectors, hurricane covers, elevated mounting, pre-storm inspection, emergency restart service

🦠

Mold & Mildew Growth

Miami's tropical climate creates perfect mold conditions inside AC ducts and drip pans. This causes health problems and that musty smell.

HOW WE FIX IT:

UV light sanitization, antimicrobial coatings, duct cleaning, improved ventilation, drain pan treatments

❄️ Why Miami AC Units Need Specialized Service

Your AC doesn't just cool - it fights 90% humidity, saltwater corrosion, hurricanes, and runs 11+ months per year. Standard mainland maintenance doesn't work here. Our techs use marine-grade parts, hurricane-rated equipment, and antimicrobial treatments specifically designed for South Florida's brutal climate. That's why Miami AC units serviced by us last 30% longer than industry average.

Why Your Miami AC Runs But Doesn't Cool

The most common complaint we hear - and the easiest to fix

🧊

Low Refrigerant (Freon Leak)

Miami's saltwater air corrodes coils causing leaks. AC runs but can't cool. Fix time: 1-2 hours.

Typical cost: $200-400
💨

Dirty Coils/Filter

Miami humidity + salt spray clogs coils fast. Blocks airflow. Fix time: 30-60 min.

Typical cost: $100-200

Bad Compressor/Capacitor

Overwork from humidity + heat = early failure. Motor runs but doesn't compress. Fix time: 2-4 hours.

Typical cost: $150-$2,000
💡

Good News: 80% of Miami AC Problems Can Be Fixed Same-Day

Most issues are leaks, dirty coils, bad capacitors, or clogged drains - all fixable in 1-4 hours. Only severe compressor failures or hurricane damage require full replacement. We carry parts on our trucks so most repairs finish in one visit.

Common Questions About AC Repair in Miami

How fast can you fix my AC in Miami heat?

Average 23-minute response time. Most repairs (freon recharge, capacitor replacement, coil cleaning) finish same-day in 1-3 hours. Compressor replacements take 4-6 hours. Full system replacement requires 1-2 days but we can provide temporary cooling. We understand Miami heat is dangerous - AC emergencies are our #1 priority.

Why does my AC fail so often in Miami?

Three reasons: (1) Saltwater air corrodes coils and electrical connections 3-5x faster, (2) 90% humidity forces AC to run 11+ months per year vs 6 months inland, causing premature wear, (3) Hurricane season brings power surges, debris impact, and flooding damage. Miami AC units last 10-12 years vs 15-20 inland. Regular maintenance with saltwater protection can extend life significantly.

Do you charge extra for emergency AC calls at night?

Day hours (6am-10pm): No surcharge, 7 days a week. Late night (10pm-6am): $50-75 emergency fee. Always disclosed before we come. No hidden charges. In Miami's extreme heat, we consider all AC failures urgent and prioritize them even during regular hours at no extra charge.

Should I repair or replace my Miami AC unit?

General rule: If repair costs more than 50% of replacement AND your AC is 8+ years old, replace it. For Miami specifically: Units over 10 years with saltwater damage should be replaced - corrosion keeps spreading. New hurricane-rated units ($4,000-7,000) include surge protection, corrosion-resistant coils, and 10-year warranties. We provide honest recommendations - sometimes a $200 repair buys you 3 more years.

Can you prepare my AC for hurricane season?

Yes - hurricane prep is essential in South Florida. Our service includes: surge protector installation (prevents electrical damage), hurricane cover (protects from debris), elevated mounting if needed (prevents flood damage), full system inspection for weak points, and emergency restart protocol. Best done April-May before peak season. Cost: $199-499 depending on unit size. Many insurance companies offer discounts for documented storm prep.
