As the temperature rises and the humidity climbs, it’s vital to ensure that your air conditioner is in top working order. Neglecting AC maintenance can lead to breakdowns, high energy bills, and shortened lifespan of your system. That’s why it’s important to follow some basic steps of air conditioner preparation and maintenance.
At Keith Key Heating & Air, we believe a well-maintained AC system is the key to a comfortable and healthy living environment. Our team of experts has put together this guide to help you prepare and maintain your air conditioner for maximum efficiency and longevity. So let’s learn more about AC maintenance in Midway, FL, and surrounding areas.
AC Preparation for Summer
Preparing your air conditioner for the summer season involves some basic tasks that can make a big difference in its performance. Here are the steps you should take:
- Clean the outdoor unit: The outdoor unit of your air conditioning system can collect dirt, leaves, and debris that obstructs the airflow and reduces its efficiency. Use a garden hose to gently clean the unit and remove any buildup.
- Change the air filter: A dirty air filter can also hinder the airflow from your air conditioner and decrease indoor air quality. Replace your air filter every month or as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Check the thermostat: Make sure your thermostat is set to the right temperature and mode. A thermostat can help you save energy and money by adjusting the indoor temperature according to your schedule.
- Inspect the ductwork: Leaky ducts can cause up to 30% energy loss and reduce the AC’s efficiency. Check the ducts for cracks, holes, or loose connections, and seal them with duct tape or mastic.
By following these simple steps, you can help your air conditioner to run smoothly and efficiently during the summer. If your AC unit is not functioning efficiently and needs an upgrade, you can contact our experts for AC replacement in Midway, FL.
AC Maintenance for Longevity
Regular AC maintenance can prevent significant problems and increase the lifespan of your system. Here is a checklist of maintenance tasks you should perform:
- Schedule a professional tune-up: Our licensed HVAC technician can inspect, clean, and lubricate your AC system to ensure optimal performance. Contact Keith Key Heating & Air for a comprehensive HVAC service in Midway, FL.
- Clean the evaporator coil: The evaporator coil can accumulate dirt and dust that can impair the AC’s efficiency and cooling capacity. Hire a professional to clean the coil and apply a protective coating to prevent future buildup.
- Check the refrigerant level: Low refrigerant levels can cause your AC system to work harder, overheat, and break down. Ensure your refrigerant level is adequate and have a professional refill it if necessary.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company! From the initial call to trouble shoot our old system to the installation of the new system. Maya was awesome and patient with us and the bank. Stratton, Wilton, and Austin did the removal and install of the systems and they were professional and proficient. I will be recommending this company to everyone and anyone! Thank you for making this less stressful then it needed to be. I'm very grateful for the help and comfort they have given me and my family.
We’ve had issues with our a/c unit freezing up off and on for a month or so. Aden from Keith Key came out and checked our system out. He fixed an issue with the bypass valve and also tuned our fan. Additionally we also replaced our thermostats with new T10’s. He took his time and helped me connect all of them to the WiFi and the app.Aden is very friendly and knowledgeable. I haven’t had an issue with my system since. He was also willing to accept the assistance of our overly helpful shih tzu. Call Keith Key and Aden for any issues with hvac systems, they can get it fixed!
Tryston was amazing! So knowledgeable, pleasant and respectful. Keith Key H/A will forever have my family's business
We had a tenant with no heat during the recent 29 degree weather. I called Keith Key Heating and Air before office hours and left my infomation with their answering service. I got a call back from the office promptly at 8:00 a.m. They were able to schedule us for service the same day. The technician arrived at noon, diagnosed the issue and made the repair. The price was quite reasonable. Everyone that we dealt with was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them and will be using them again in the future. Thanks Keith Key Heating & Air!!
Heat wasn't working after the sleet storm and being without power for 18 hours. Keith Key sent Trystan the same day as my call. He did a great job (very personable) and got it repaired in no time. Many thanks!
Keith Key HVAC is wonderful! They service our HVAC and just helped me with a super stressful heating issue while I was out of state. They are very organized and professional, and take extra time to explain and follow up. I just love them!
We've called on Keith Key Heating and Air twice for help. Both times, they responded quickly, and were able to make repairs quickly. The techs we've dealt with have been friendly, reliable, professional and knowledgeable. And they don't dig in your pocket like some have been known to do. I honestly don't know what more we could ask for. A solid 10 of 10, and we highly recommend.
Had to replace my AC and Heating unit. Keith Key Heating and Air was very helpful in finding the right unit money wise for me. The young men they sent was courteous and knowledgeable. They made sure everything was up to my standards before they left. If you have trouble I would highly recommend them to you.
Keith Key regularly services both our personal home and one of our rental properties! They are good about communicating to us about the condition of the units at the rental property which is such a relief! We have had to call them for 2 emergencies and both times the techs appeared happy to be there helping us despite being on the weekend! 10/10 recommend.
