Every May, Longwood commissioners elect a new mayor among themselves to serve a one-year term. The mayor basically runs commission meetings, represents the city at events and signs documents. Otherwise, the position is mostly ceremonial, although the mayor has the same voting power as commissioners. Longwood commissioners, including the mayor, earn $4,804 a year.

You want to keep your home cool while minimizing your energy bills, correct? The best way to accomplish this is to choose an Florida air conditioner with a high seasonal energy efficiency ratio. Today’s most efficient air conditioners consume up to 50 percent less electricity than air conditioners from the 1970s. Even a 10-year-old unit may be 20 to 40 percent less efficient than a brand new one.

The trick is to understand what SEER ratings to look for. In 2006, new government standards went into effect. They stipulated that all newly manufactured air conditioners were required to have a SEER rating of 13 or higher. This was a 30 percent increase from the previous SEER 10 requirement.

Units can earn SEER ratings that are much higher than 13. In fact, many Energy Star-labeled central air conditioners have higher SEER ratings. The higher the number, the greater the savings. But these units are also more expensive. Thankfully, because Florida has such a high cooling demand, a high-efficiency air conditioner can pay for itself in energy savings after just a few years. Because the life span of well-maintained equipment is 15 to 20 years, your unit could pay for itself more than once before you need to replace it.

You may have even turned on the A/C system in your home a couple of times already this year due to warmer temperatures creeping in earlier than in years past, but the best time to get an air conditioning tune up is now before you need your air conditioner 24 hours a day. Our professional technicians can service and tune your A/C system to ensure that it operates at peak performance for the warm summer.

To ensure your air conditioner will work for you when you need it most, schedule a preseason tune up from our professional technicians. We offer a no break down guarantee when you have us check your system. You can rest assured that you will not wake up on a hot July night without air conditioning.

Too much freon in the evaporator tube and the pressure is not low enough to expand to gas and absorb heat, working inefficiently for no gain.  Too little freon and the conversion is also ineffective by not reaching the density needed to condense.

There are four types of valves with different benefits for different types of cooling environments.  With its ability to adjust minutely to changing conditions, the thermal expansion valve creates the perfect mixture of pressure and freon for more complicated systems.
