In Central Florida, summer doesn't knock politely — it kicks the door in, cranks up the heat, and stays for a long, sweaty visit. Here in the greater Orlando area, we average 115 days a year with highs over 90°F, according to the National Weather Service. And let's not even start on the humidity — unless you enjoy that "just stepped out of a sauna" feeling by simply walking to your mailbox. 

Your air conditioner is about to work overtime. 

Is it ready? 

If you're not sure, it's time to schedule a Precision Tune-Up (PTU) with the local pros at ServiceOne Air Conditioning & Plumbing. Here's why waiting even a few more weeks could turn into a costly — and sweaty — mistake. 

Your AC Isn't "Fine" — It's Either Ready, or It's Not 

It's tempting to think, "Hey, my AC turned on today. It's fine." 

But here's the thing: Fine today doesn't mean fine tomorrow, especially when temperatures spike. Without a professional PTU, small issues you can't see — like low refrigerant, dirty coils, or a weakening capacitor — could cause sudden breakdowns when you need cool air the most. 

And trust us, breakdowns love to happen at 5 PM on a Saturday when the Orlando heat index is soaring above 100°F and every HVAC tech in town is booked solid. 

What Exactly Is a PTU, Anyway? 

At ServiceOne, a Precision Tune-Up isn't just a quick once-over with a flashlight. 

It's a deep, thorough check performed by trained technicians who know exactly what to look for. We're talking: 

  • Testing system pressures 

  • Inspecting electrical components 

  • Cleaning coils 

  • Calibrating thermostats 

  • Checking for hidden leaks 

  • And about 27+ other key steps to make sure your AC can handle everything a brutal Florida summer throws at it. 

It’s not a "quickie" maintenance visit. It’s like a full-body wellness check for your AC — designed to catch tiny problems before they become giant, wallet-draining headaches. 

Florida Summers Are No Joke 

Think about it: Orlando’s hottest temperature on record was 103°F, and with rising temps globally, we’re seeing longer, hotter seasons every year. 

Last year, Orlando had its second-warmest summer on record, with average highs consistently above 92°F for weeks. 

Your AC needs to be in peak fighting shape — and that's only possible if you treat it like the essential system it is, not an afterthought. 

Waiting Could Cost You... Big 

Skipping your PTU this spring can lead to: 

  • Higher energy bills (a dirty or uncalibrated system can run up to 30% less efficiently) 

  • Unexpected repair costs (an average AC repair in Florida runs around $350–$800... if you're lucky) 

  • Full system replacements (a new system in Central Florida easily costs $5,000–$12,000, depending on size) 

When you break it down, a PTU is basically the most affordable insurance you can buy for your home's comfort — and your wallet.
