In Kissimmee, your air conditioner does almost all the work
Your air conditioner runs eleven months a year here, shutting off only for a short stretch in January. On summer afternoons that hit 91°F, it runs long and hard to keep up, and that kind of runtime wears on the compressor and the fan motor. When one of those starts to go, you notice the house not quite catching up to the thermostat, or the air coming out warmer than it should.
Most homes here heat with electricity, so when the power goes out, the heat goes with it. That matters in a place that saw 14 damaging wind events over the past ten years, and where more than a third of Florida households lost power for at least a day in 2024. When the power comes back on, some systems need a hand to get going again.

Florida requires HVAC contractors to hold a state license.
The license comes from the Construction Industry Licensing Board, and it means the contractor was tested by the state and is on record there. It attaches to the contractor, not to the specific repair, so the same license covers this job as it would any other HVAC work they take on.
For a repair to a heating and cooling system, that license is what stands behind the person doing the work in Osceola County.

- Why is my heat not working?
- Most homes here heat with electricity, so start with the breaker panel and see if the heat strip or heat pump breaker tripped. If the thermostat screen is blank or the fan will not even turn on, that points to power rather than the heating parts themselves. If the fan runs but the air stays cold, a heat pump may be stuck in defrost or low on refrigerant, and that needs a contractor to check. Heat only really matters here in January, so a stretch of cold nights is often when people first notice a problem that was already there.
- Why is my system running but not cooling the house?
- If the blower is running but the air coming out is not cold, check the outdoor unit first. A dirty outdoor coil or a fan that is not spinning out there will stop the system from rejecting heat, even though the indoor blower sounds normal. A clogged filter can also choke airflow enough that the coil freezes up and stops cooling. With summer afternoons here averaging 91°F, this is worth checking as soon as you notice it, since a frozen coil left running can lead to a bigger repair.
- What can I check before calling for HVAC repair?
- Check the thermostat batteries and setting first, since a dead battery or a setting bumped to the wrong mode causes a lot of no-heat and no-cool calls. Next, look at the breaker panel for a tripped switch, and check the filter to see if it is clogged. If the outdoor unit is covered in debris or leaves, especially after wind, clear it, since this area has seen 14 damaging wind events over the past ten years that can block airflow or knock loose a connection. If the system still is not working after that, a licensed contractor can diagnose the rest, and Florida requires that license for anyone doing the repair.
