Orlando's average summer dew point hovers near 72 degrees, which means your air conditioner is not just cooling air. It is removing massive amounts of water vapor. This latent heat load stresses the evaporator coil and forces the compressor to work harder. When refrigerant levels drop even 10 percent below spec, the system loses the capacity to handle that moisture load. The result is an air conditioning not blowing cold air and a home that feels sticky even when the system runs. Coastal homes near Lake Nona and Winter Park see even higher humidity intrusion, which accelerates coil freeze-ups and blower motor strain.
Summit HVAC Orlando has worked in every Orlando neighborhood, from the historic bungalows in College Park with outdated ductwork to the newer construction in Avalon Park with modern variable-speed systems. We understand the building code requirements for refrigerant line installations and the permitting process for compressor replacements. We know the local HVAC suppliers and can source parts faster than national chains. When you call a local company, you get a technician who knows your home's construction type, your system's common failure points, and the fastest way to get you back to cold air.
