AC Repair & HVAC in Palm Coast, FL
A lot of Palm Coast homes went up during the 2000s building boom, and plenty of them still run the system they were built with. We help you keep it going or replace it the smart way, with upfront pricing every time.
A planned city with a building boom behind it
Palm Coast started in 1969 as a planned community developed by ITT Community Development Corporation, and it became a city in 1999. Today the Intracoastal Waterway forms its eastern edge.
Census data puts the median Palm Coast home at 2003, and about 42% of the city's housing was built between 2000 and 2009. That's a lot of homes whose original air conditioners are now right around the age where things start to go.
We're veteran & family-owned, based in St. Augustine, and Palm Coast is a regular part of our service area. Our techs carry the common parts on the truck, so most repairs are done in one visit.

If your system came with the house
When a big share of a city gets built in one decade, a big share of its air conditioners hit the end of their life around the same time. Here's what that means for a lot of Palm Coast homeowners right now.
Pre-2010 systems may use R-22
New air conditioners stopped being made with R-22 refrigerant in 2010, and production and import of R-22 ended January 1, 2020. If your system was installed before 2010, there's a good chance it runs on R-22, and recharging a leak gets harder and more expensive every year.
Repair or replace, honestly
An R-22 system with a small, fixable problem can still be worth repairing. One with a leaking coil usually isn't. We'll tell you which one you've got and give you the price either way.
Heat pumps do double duty
About 94% of occupied homes in Palm Coast heat with electricity, so for most families one system handles both cooling and heating. That's year-round run time, and it's why yearly checkups matter.
Easier on the budget
0% financing for up to 21 months is available on approved system replacements through Hearth, and new equipment has to meet Florida's current efficiency minimums.
Salt water in your backyard
Palm Coast has 23 miles of saltwater canals, and they're in the Palm Harbor section, connected to the Intracoastal. Living on them is great. Your outdoor unit doesn't love it.
Salty air near the water
Carrier notes that salt water can be carried as far as two miles from the coast, depending on wind and humidity. Canal and Intracoastal homes get it from more than one direction.
Corrosion on coils and wiring
Salt corrodes condenser fins, tubing and electrical connections. That cuts cooling power and can shut a system down when a connection fails.
Coil cleaning helps
Our $179.95 Premier visit is a full tune-up plus coil cleaning. The Premier Maintenance Plan gives you that visit twice a year, starting at $259.95 for one system.
Humidity control
Living on the water means humid air. Our air quality options include dehumidifiers and whole-home air purifiers.
Is your original system wearing out?
Systems from the 2000s don't usually die all at once. They tend to slow down first. Here's what to watch for if your equipment is getting up there.
Longer run times
The system runs and runs but the thermostat barely moves. That can be low refrigerant, a dirty coil or a worn-out compressor.
Higher power bills
If your bill is creeping up and your habits haven't changed, your system may be working harder to do the same job.
Repeat repairs
One repair is normal. Calling for help every summer is a sign it's time to compare the cost of fixing against replacing.
Noise and short cycling
Rattling, grinding or a system that kicks on and off every few minutes deserves a look before it leads to a bigger failure.

Do you service Palm Coast?

How do I know if my AC uses R-22?
Check the data plate on the outdoor unit; it lists the refrigerant type. If you can't find it, we'll check during a service visit. Systems installed before 2010 are the most likely to use R-22.
Is it worth repairing an R-22 system?
Sometimes. A bad capacitor or contactor is usually worth fixing. A refrigerant leak is a different story, since R-22 production ended in 2020. We'll give you an honest answer and upfront pricing either way.
I live on a saltwater canal. Do I need extra maintenance?
Salt air speeds up coil and electrical corrosion, so twice-a-year service with coil cleaning is a smart plan. That's what our Premier Maintenance Plan covers.
How can I tell when my system was installed?
The data plate on the outdoor unit usually shows a manufacture date, sometimes built into the serial number. Ask during any visit and we'll read it for you. If it's from before 2010, check the refrigerant type too.
Is a new system really more efficient?
Systems built to today's standards have to meet higher minimums than many units installed in the early 2000s. We'll show you the efficiency rating of what you have and what we'd install, so you can compare.

Yes, we take emergency calls. We're open 24 hours Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday.
