Frequently Asked Questions

AC maintenance should be performed twice yearly, ideally before summer and winter seasons. Regular maintenance includes air filter checks, thermostat calibration, coil cleaning, and freon level monitoring. At All American Cooling, we recommend comprehensive inspections to enhance efficiency and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Professional AC repair includes leak repairs, compressor and motor repairs, refrigerant recharges, thermostat calibrations, and electrical troubleshooting. Most services also offer emergency repairs. At All American Cooling, we provide 24/7 emergency service to address urgent cooling issues promptly.

Yes, professional AC installations typically include manufacturer warranties on parts. Quality installations feature top brands like Ruud, Rheem, and Carrier with comprehensive coverage. At All American Cooling, we provide 10-year parts warranties and handle same-day unit registration for immediate protection.

Air ducts should be cleaned every 3-5 years or when you notice reduced airflow, excessive dust, or musty odors. Professional duct cleaning improves airflow, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality. More frequent cleaning may be needed in South Florida's humid climate.

Poor energy efficiency typically results from dirty coils, clogged filters, leaky ductwork, or inadequate insulation. Damaged ductwork and insufficient attic insulation force systems to work harder. At All American Cooling, we address these issues through comprehensive maintenance and duct sealing services.

UV lights installed in HVAC systems eliminate bacteria, mold, and airborne contaminants as air circulates through the unit. They continuously sanitize air without chemicals or filters. UV light systems are particularly effective in Florida's humid environment where mold growth is common.

Duct repair addresses specific leaks, tears, or disconnected sections while replacement involves installing entirely new ductwork. Repair is suitable for minor damage, but replacement is necessary for severely damaged or poorly designed systems to optimize HVAC performance.

Yes, proper attic insulation significantly reduces cooling costs by preventing hot air from entering your home. Quality insulation maintains consistent indoor temperatures and reduces HVAC workload. In Sunrise's hot climate, adequate attic insulation can lower energy bills by 15-30 percent.

HVAC inspections include air duct assessments, system performance evaluations, and comprehensive safety checks. Technicians examine electrical components, refrigerant levels, and airflow patterns. At All American Cooling, we identify potential issues before they become major problems requiring expensive repairs.

Refrigerant recharging is necessary when AC units lose cooling capacity due to low freon levels from leaks or normal system wear. Proper refrigerant levels ensure efficient cooling and prevent compressor damage. Low refrigerant forces systems to work harder, increasing energy costs significantly.
