How often should I have my HVAC system serviced in Midway’s climate?

Because Midway and the Tallahassee region deal with high heat and humidity for much of the year, your HVAC system works harder than in cooler climates. Regular inspections catch issues early—things like refrigerant leaks, clogged filters, or drainage problems before they become major repairs.

We recommend scheduling service at least once a year, and preferably twice (spring for cooling prep + fall for heat pump/comfort check) to keep your system running smoothly and efficiently.

Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air even though it seems to be running?

There are several common causes in Florida’s climate: low refrigerant levels (often due to leaks), frozen evaporator coils (yes—this can happen here too), dirty or clogged filters restricting airflow, or the outdoor condenser being blocked by debris or vegetation.

If you’re feeling warm air instead of cool, it’s a clear sign to call a trusted HVAC contractor for a full diagnostic rather than hoping it fixes itself.

What can I do as a homeowner to improve indoor air quality and comfort with my HVAC system?

In Midway’s humid environment, indoor air quality and comfort go beyond just temperature. Good practices include:

• Replacing or cleaning your HVAC filter monthly (or every 30-60 days) to keep airflow strong.
• Ensuring proper ventilation and keeping outdoor unit clear of debris so the system can breathe.
• Considering upgrades like better filtration, dehumidifiers, or thermostat upgrades if you have allergies or sensitive occupants.These actions not only improve the air you breathe but also reduce wear on your HVAC system.

My utility bills are going up but I can’t tell anything wrong with the HVAC—what might be happening?

Rising utility bills often signal that your HVAC system is working harder than it should—either due to restricted airflow (dirty filters, blocked vents), refrigerant or mechanical inefficiencies, or even an undersized/oversized system operating inefficiently. It’s worth having a technician check system performance (including thermostat, ductwork, refrigerant levels and equipment sizing) to identify hidden inefficiencies.

When should I consider replacing my HVAC system rather than repairing it in Midway?

Replacement becomes worth considering when any of the following apply:

• Your system is more than ~10-15 years old and experiencing frequent breakdowns.
• Major components have failed (compressor, coil) and repair cost is more than ~50% of replacement cost.
• You’re not getting consistent cooling or comfort, high humidity persists, or you’re seeing sharp increases in repair/energy costs.

When these happen, investing in a new high-efficiency system (correctly sized for Florida conditions) can save money and give you better comfort for years to come.

My outdoor unit needs to be replaced. Do I need to replace my indoor unit as well?

My air ducts are always popping, what can be the issue?

If you’re hearing a popping noise, it could mean your ducts are too small for the airflow your system is generating. Our experts can inspect your ductwork and make the necessary adjustments to ensure your system runs smoothly. Contact our team in Midway to address the issue promptly!

My A/C is freezing up, what could be the issue?

There could be several reasons behind the issue you’re facing. One possible cause is a problem with the evaporator coil, which helps transfer heat from your home to the outside. If the coil is freezing, it could be due to restricted airflow or a refrigerant shortage. We recommend contacting Tony Kelly HVAC Inc. in Midway to accurately diagnose the cause of your A/C freezing and quickly resolve the issue.

What’s the best level of humidity inside of my house?

That’s a great question! We recommend keeping the humidity in your home around 35%, though anywhere between 30% and 40% is ideal. It’s important not to let humidity go above 40%, as this can cause condensation on windows and create an environment where mold can grow. Mold can lead to allergies and respiratory problems, so maintaining the right humidity level is key to keeping your Midway home healthy.
