In Collier County, your AC never gets a break
Your air conditioner runs all twelve months here. There's no spring or fall where it gets to rest, and no winter either since homes in this area don't need heat at all. Summer afternoons averaging 92°F push the compressor hard, day after day, and it's the compressor and the fan motor that wear down first under that kind of load. When one starts to fail, you'll notice the air isn't as cold as it should be, or the system runs longer to get the house down to temperature.
Most homes here heat and cool with electricity, so when the power goes out, the whole system stops with it. Collier County sees its share of damaging wind, and statewide, over a third of households lost power for at least a day in 2024. When the power comes back on, most systems restart on their own, but the strain of storms and outages adds up on top of the daily heat.

Florida requires HVAC contractors to hold a state license.
The Construction Industry Licensing Board is the state agency that tested this contractor and keeps the record on file. That license belongs to the contractor, not to any single job, so the same license covers a repair like this one and everything else the contractor is hired to do.
For a repair to a heating and cooling system, that state license is the thing accountable for the work. It means the person working on your system was tested by the state before being allowed to do this kind of work at all.

- Why is my heat not working?
- In Naples, this is almost always a heat pump problem, not a furnace problem, since so few homes here have a gas furnace. Check the thermostat is set to heat and not just fan. If the outdoor unit is caked in ice or debris, that will stop it from pulling heat in. A contractor can tell you if the issue is the reversing valve, a refrigerant problem, or something electrical.
- Why is my system running but not cooling the house?
- The blower is moving air, but something between the air and the cold is not working. Start with the filter. A clogged one starves the coil of airflow and the whole system loses its ability to pull heat out of the house. If the filter is clean, check the outdoor unit for a coil packed with dirt, leaves, or grass clippings, since that blocks the system from shedding heat outside. If both of those look fine, the system is likely low on refrigerant or has an airflow problem inside the ducts, and that calls for a licensed contractor to check pressures and diagnose it properly.
- What can I check before calling for HVAC repair?
- Check the thermostat first. Make sure it is set correctly and has fresh batteries if it uses them. Check the air filter next and replace it if it is dirty, since a clogged filter causes problems that look like bigger failures. Go outside and make sure the outdoor unit has clear airflow around it, with no leaves, mulch, or debris packed against the coil. If the system still is not working after that, a licensed contractor can diagnose what is actually wrong. Florida requires HVAC contractors to hold a state license, so ask for that before letting anyone work on the system.
