Sunny, 75, and Still AC Season

Florida “winter” is a funny thing. One week you’re in flip-flops, the next you’re debating whether 68 degrees calls for a hoodie. But while you’re enjoying the break from triple-digit heat, your AC is still part of the picture — and it deserves a little off-season attention.

Why bother? 

Because ignoring your system now could mean sticky, sweaty regret later. Here’s how to keep your cool even when the weather’s mild.

1. Clear the clutter

Fallen leaves, yard debris, and rogue palm fronds can block airflow around your outdoor unit. A quick cleanup keeps things breathing easy.

2. Change the filter

Yes, even in the “off” season. Dust, pet hair, and mystery fuzz don’t take holidays, and a clean filter keeps your air fresh and your system happy.

3. Give it a spin

Run your AC for a short cycle every couple of weeks. It keeps the parts moving, prevents musty smells, and makes sure it’s ready when summer strikes again.

4. Book a tune-up

Winter is prime time for maintenance. No sweltering emergency calls, just a stress-free check to make sure your system’s in top shape for next season.

Your AC doesn’t get to migrate south for the winter. It stays right here, ready for action. A little love now means no surprises when the thermostat starts climbing again.
