Trusted HVAC Solutions

Living in Southwest Florida means enjoying sunshine, beaches—and prepping your home for extreme heat and hurricane season. At Four Seasons Air, we help homeowners stay cool and safe all year long. Here’s our expert-approved checklist to ensure your home is ready before summer kicks into high gear.

✅ AC Maintenance: Beat the Heat Before It Starts

— Book a Professional Tune-Up: Our licensed HVAC techs check refrigerant levels, inspect coils, test electrical components, and ensure your system is running efficiently—so you’re not caught off guard during the peak of summer heat.

— Change Air Filters: We recommend checking your air filters monthly and replacing them as needed to maintain strong airflow and high indoor air quality, typically every one to three months.

— Clear the Outdoor Unit: Remove palm fronds, leaves, and any yard debris around your condenser unit; good airflow prevents your system from overworking and needing emergency AC repair.

— Test Your System Early: If you don’t run your system year-round, or if you’ve just returned from vacation, test your AC now. Don’t wait for the first ninety-five-degree day. Run your system, and call us if it sounds off or feels uneven.

— Seal Leaks: As your AC system operates overtime in summer, sealing around doors, windows, and attic spaces reduces energy bills and keeps your home consistently cool.

✅ Hurricane Preparation: Prep Before the Warnings Roll In

— Inspect Your Roof and Gutters: Loose shingles, rusted flashing, or clogged gutters can lead to water damage during a storm. A professional inspection before hurricane season ramps up can provide peace of mind, especially if your roof is older. Some local roof inspectors to consider include Kirkey Roofing, Roman Roofing, or Kingdom Roofing.

— Secure Outdoor Furniture: Sudden gusts can turn patio furniture into dangerous projectiles. Know what needs to be brought inside or tied down.

— Backup Generator Check: Test your generator, stock up on fuel, and keep extension cords handy. This can be a lifesaver during post-storm power outages.

— Surge Protection for Your AC: Lightning strikes and outages are common in summer storms. Are your appliances and electronics protected? Consider a whole-home surge protector to safeguard your HVAC system and electronics. You might want to check with FPL Home about whole house surge protection @fplhome.

— Stock Emergency Supplies Now: Avoid the last-minute rush—make sure you have water, batteries, non-perishable food, and a first-aid kit ready before any storms are named.

Hurricane season began June 1st, so prepping early can help you avoid long wait times for service or repairs when storms approach. We all recall the chaos over plywood and toilet paper! Hurricane warnings are stressful enough, so give yourself some peace of mind by preparing early.
