System age and whether the part is still under the manufacturer's warranty
Refrigerant type, since older R-22 systems are harder and costlier to service

Questions to ask before you hire
What exactly failed, and can you show me?
Is the part covered by the manufacturer's warranty?
Do you charge a diagnostic fee, and is it credited toward the repair?
If you suggest replacement, what would the repair cost instead?
Florida considerations
Clogged condensate drain lines are one of the most common summer service calls in Florida's humidity.
HVAC contractors in Florida must hold a state license. You can look it up at myfloridalicense.com.
Frequently asked questions
Should I keep running the AC if it's blowing warm air?
It's usually better to turn it off and call for service. Running a system that isn't cooling can make a small problem worse, especially for the compressor.
Repair or replace?
