If you live in Florida, you may have already forgotten about your air conditioner for the winter. This is a mistake because if your home is like most in Florida, you probably have a heat pump that provides both heating and cooling. You may have noticed that even though the same system is providing your heating and cooling, your January and February electric bills are almost as high as June and July despite running the heat in winter for far less time than you run the cooling mode in the summer.
This is because your AC’s heating mode costs considerably more to run than its cooling mode. If you put off AC repair in until spring, you’ll effectively be doing the same thing as going through the summer with an underperforming air conditioner. Even worse than having a higher winter electric bill is that when air conditioner parts start struggling, they put stress on other parts, so you could be faced with a more costly repair when you eventually decide to get it fixed.
