Florida is different
What a system in Marion County is up against
An air conditioner in Ocala does the work of two northern ones, and the problems it develops are Florida problems: water, heat and hours.
Humidity
Outdoor humidity sits above 70 percent most of the year. A system that is oversized or short-cycling never runs long enough to wring it out, and the house reads 74 and feels sticky. Right-sizing, sealed ducts and, where the numbers call for it, whole-home dehumidification are how a Florida house gets to feel dry.
A nine-month season
Cooling runs from March into November. Capacitors bake in the sun, contactors pit from the cycling, and the condensate line grows algae in any warm, wet pipe. A documented spring tune-up prevents most of the summer emergencies and keeps the manufacturer's parts warranty valid.
Heat pumps, not furnaces
Marion County heats with heat pumps and electric strips for a few weeks a year. The first hard freeze is when the sticking reversing valve and the dead heat strip show up, and it is the one time of year the strips can quietly double a power bill.
Why Paddock Air
Straight answers, from people who are not paid to sell you a system
A leaking capacitor on an eight-year-old system is a repair, and we will not talk you into a replacement. A twenty-year-old R-22 system with a failed compressor is a replacement, and we will not sell you a repair that buys eighteen months.
You get both numbers when both are real, the reasons in plain language, and the answer to "what would you do in your own house." The quote is in writing, it does not move once we start unless you change it, and nobody calls you three times a week to close it.
We work the whole county, from the block homes of Silver Springs Shores to the villages south of County Road 42 and the farms of Reddick and Citra, and we know which building department, which utility and which gate each one goes through.
