Recommended Upgrades for your AC System During Summer

Lady suffering the consequences of not upgrading the AC system

Central Florida summers have high temperatures and humidity. They strain AC systems. Are you struggling to keep your home cool and comfortable during this time? If so, your air conditioning (AC) system may be struggling as well.

High temperatures and humidity strain AC systems, reducing performance and increasing energy bills. Upgrade your AC system for better efficiency and comfort throughout the summer. Several options are available.

These Are The Recommended Upgrades for your AC System To Sail Through Summer

  • Smart Thermostat

    • Upgrading to a smart thermostat can help you control the temperature of your home more efficiently and save on energy costs.
  • High-Efficiency Air Filter

    • A high-efficiency air filter can help improve the quality of the air in your home by removing allergens, dust, and other pollutants.
  • UV Light Air Purification System

  • Insulation

  • Upgrade To A High-Efficiency SEER2 AC System

    • Upgrading to a high-efficiency SEER2 AC system can help you save money on energy costs in the long run, as these new systems are designed to use less energy to cool your home.
  • Schedule Regular Maintenance

  • Consider A Whole-Home Dehumidifier

    • The high humidity levels during summer in Central Florida can make your home feel uncomfortable and put additional strain on your AC system. A whole-home dehumidifier can help reduce humidity levels and improve indoor air quality.
  • Float Switch

    • A float switch is recommended for your AC system because it helps prevent water damage caused by a clogged condensate drain, which can occur when your system is working hard to keep your home cool.
  • Duct Sealing

    • If your ducts are leaky, you could be losing up to 30% of the cool air that your AC system produces. Sealing your ducts can help prevent this and reduce energy waste.
  • Variable-Speed Air Handler

  • Zoning System

    • A zoning system can help you control the temperature in different areas of your home, allowing you to save energy and reduce wear and tear on your AC system.
  • Add Attic Ventilation

    • Proper attic ventilation can help prevent hot air from getting trapped in your home, which can reduce the workload on your AC system.
  • Use Reflective Window Film

    • Reflective window film can help reduce the amount of heat that enters your home through your windows, which can make it easier for your AC system to keep your home cool.

Don’t Risk Having a Miserable Summer

Skipping AC upgrades in Central Florida’s summer may cause performance drop, higher bills, temperature issues, and breakdown risks.

Your home might develop hot or cool spots if ventilation and insulation aren’t adequate. This makes some areas uncomfortable. An inefficient AC can raise humidity levels, causing mold growth and indoor air quality problems.

The high temperatures and humidity of Central Florida summers can put a lot of strain on your AC system, causing it to work harder and less efficiently.

Consider system upgrades to prevent reduced performance, longer cooling times, and increased noise levels. Over time, the strain on your AC system can also lead to mechanical problems and breakdowns, resulting in costly repairs.

Upgrade your AC system for better performance, efficiency, and comfort. Ensure it runs smoothly.

AC Service Testimonials

UPDATE 12/11/25-
Mr. Scott, the owner took the time to speak with me the day before to take ownership of the unfortunate event, and to rectify it, he personally came over to speak to me and issued a refund for the blower motor replacement to honor me being a customer and purchasing the unit from them in recent times. This speaks a lot about his integrity and customer centric approach. Even though I didn’t hear from them initially for a few months, this was a great gesture in difficult times, and I appreciate this, therefore updating my review.

STAY AWAY!!!

I purchased a new AC system from Scott’s Air & Heat in 2022 for approximately $7,000. Since then, I have already spent over $1,500 on repairs in 2 years. Despite the system having a 10-year parts warranty, I was charged $650 for labor alone to replace a blower motor—a repair that took about one hour to complete. Another reputable company quoted $500 total, including both parts and labor, for the same job.

Additionally, I was charged $258 for the same issue just a week prior, and when the problem recurred, the company billed me again instead of honoring their previous service. Attempts to reach the owner or manager for a resolution went unanswered.

Overall, I found their pricing to be excessive and their customer service severely lacking. I would not recommend this company based on my experience.
Response from the owner:Hi, Thank you for taking Scott's call today & allowing us to make this right. We're looking forward to meeting you tomorrow with the hopes of being able to earn your 5-star rating. We genuinely care for our customers and their families and want you to be 100% satisfied. Thank you again.
It’s been a long process, but Scott did call personally to make sure that our ac unit was working properly. They even upgraded to the correct size unit we needed after many repairs and issues. I appreciate the follow through and transparent communication! They will make sure to follow up and help when needed. Thank you Scott and team!!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Robin, Thank you so much for giving us an opportunity to make this right. We're happy to hear your system is running good now & we were able to turn your experience around. Thank you for trusting us with your home.

Same day update! I want to applaud Scott, the owner, for contacting me about my concerns regarding the labor charge for our last job. It was a disappointment that I had to have such an expensive charge on a relatively new unit. However, we talked about it, and he’s going to try to help. I appreciate any owner who listens to customers and wants to try to make things right. Thank you, Scott. I guess I don’t have to shop around for a new AC company for now.

Just to clarify. My response says that I’m frustrated to pay for labor for a warranty repair. I didn’t understand this was a warranty repair and I always am fine with paying for labor if a job is done. I believe my review explains my frustration with flat fees no matter how long the job takes.

Update today. The price that was quoted me was not only labor. They are charging flat fees for jobs. This is a change from the past with HVAC companies , but with more explanation and a little flexibility, I think we will stay with Scott’s for the time being. We’ll see how it goes. They still remain extremely responsive and professional and kind. This is worth something. They also come quickly when you have a problem.

This is a big change in my review for this company. Over the past five years things have changed. The company I used to trust I am now very skeptical of. They no longer charge labor by the hour so that you pay more for something that is more difficult and less for something that is less difficult. Just flat fees. And extremely high ones at that! Guess I’m looking for a new company now.
Response from the owner:Hi Karon, Thank you for trusting us with your home all these years. I can understand your frustration in having to pay labor for a warranty repair. The warranty from the manufacturer (not us) only covers the part itself. We value our customers and our community & want to make sure we take care of you and your home. We've left you a message & hope you'll return our call so we can make this right.
Chelsie was absolutely amazing!! She was on time, super friendly and personable! She was knowledgeable and even took the time to explain the problem and solution with our ac. I highly recommend them to service your HVAC needs!
