HVAC FAQs
How do I know if I need repair or replacement?
Newer equipment suffering from minor system issues may benefit most from an HVAC repair service. However, if your unit is 10 years old or older, needs frequent, expensive repairs, or has a notable decline in efficiency, an HVAC replacement may be more cost-effective.
How do I tell what type of HVAC system my home has?
To identify your home’s HVAC system type, check the unit’s label or documentation for system details, such as whether it’s a central AC, heat pump, or furnace. Alternatively, inspect for visible features like outdoor units (common for central AC and heat pumps) or ductwork (indicating a forced-air system).
Should I install a heat pump?
Heat pumps are best suited for moderate climates with mild winters, making them an ideal option for homeowners throughout Orlando South. They provide year-round comfort with heating and cooling capabilities and exceptional energy efficiency for ongoing savings on utility bills.
How do I change an air filter?
To change an air filter, turn off the HVAC system and locate the filter compartment (usually near the return air duct or furnace). Next, remove the old filter and insert a new one, ensuring the airflow arrows point in the correct direction.
How often should I service my HVAC system?
Since Floridians rely on their air conditioning systems all year, it’s recommended that they be scheduled for professional maintenance at least twice annually to ensure proper working order.
Plumbing FAQs
Why is there no water in my house?
If there’s no water in your house, check if other fixtures are affected, verify if the main water valve is turned on, and contact your water provider to see if there’s an outage or plumbing issue. If you’re dealing with a plumbing issue, contact the Del-Air team for prompt repair.
How long do water heaters last?
With routine maintenance, standard tank water heaters have an average lifespan of 8 to 12 years while tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years or longer.
What causes clogged drains?
Hair, grease and oil, organic matter, sediment buildup, and pipe deterioration are the most common causes of clogged drains.
How do I unclog a kitchen sink?
To unclog a kitchen sink, use a plunger or pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the drain, followed by hot water. If that doesn’t work, you may need to use a plumber’s snake or call a professional.
What should I do if I have a leaking faucet?
If you have a leaking faucet, turn off the water supply to the fixture, disassemble the faucet to inspect for worn-out washers or seals, and replace them. If you’re unsure what the problem is, contact a plumber for repairs.
Electrical FAQs
Can I fix my home’s electrical issue myself?

Should I install a surge protector in my Florida home?
Given the prevalence of hurricanes, tropical storms, and thunderstorms, it’s smart to install a surge protector in your Florida home. Surge protectors protect your electrical equipment from damage caused by power surges.

When do I need an electrical inspection?
Electrical inspections should be conducted whenever you’re buying or selling a property, after completing major electrical work, or if your home is older and has never been inspected to ensure safety and code compliance.

Lighting installations are complex projects that require wiring knowledge. It’s best to trust a professional electrician with any lighting installation projects your home may require.
