Common Problems

Installation Problems We See in Palatka

These are the issues our technicians deal with most often. If something sounds familiar, give us a call.

build

Improper Sizing

An oversized AC cools quickly but doesn't run long enough to remove humidity. We perform Manual J load calculations to ensure the right size for your home.

build

Poor Ductwork Design

Even a high-efficiency system wastes energy with leaky or undersized ducts. We inspect and seal or replace ductwork as part of new installations.

build

Inadequate Condensate Drainage

Florida systems produce significant condensation. Proper drain installation with float switches prevents water damage and system shutdowns.

build

Missing Hurricane Straps

Outdoor units must be properly secured per Florida code. We ensure all installations meet wind load requirements.

FAQs

Installation Questions from Palatka Homeowners

helpHow long does a new HVAC installation take?

Most residential installations are completed in one day (6-8 hours). Complex jobs involving ductwork modifications may take 2 days. We schedule the county inspection within 1-2 business days.

helpDo I need a permit for HVAC installation in Florida?

Yes, Alachua County requires permits for all HVAC installations. We handle all permit paperwork and inspections—this is included in our installation service.

helpWhat size AC do I need for my home?

System sizing depends on square footage, insulation, window orientation, and more. A "rule of thumb" estimate often leads to improper sizing. We perform a detailed Manual J calculation to determine the exact capacity needed.
