This couple spent time and attention on my spring A/C tune-up. They communicated clearly and shared pictures and exactly what was happening and what to expect financially with my appointment. I highly recommend!

I'm absolutely impressed with Steven's (Chillax Heating and Air) knowledge, professionalism, and thoroughness. He took time to actually troubleshoot the odd issues I was having with my furnace. New parts were required (bent blower wheel and swiss cheesed blower housing from previous unrelated companies) as part of the repair. One of the parts had to be ordered from the factory due to my specific system. Steven made sure to call, in the middle of the parts wait, to insure I was ok during a cold spell and offered other repair choices in case I was in desperate need. There was no upsell no gotchas on pricing. Very upfront and honest. Pricing itself was very fair for the work involved. Honesty and care are rare in this era and Steven has both in spades.

Steven is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and an educator on HVAC systems. He came out when we were in dire need of service after moving into our new home. He not only serviced us at a more than fair rate, he let us know about some future signs to look out for regarding preventive maintenance. He does exceptional work and I am have been referring Chillax Heating and Air to everyone I know.

I'm so glad that we reached out to this company to get our heating system looked at before it gets cold. They responded very quickly, and were able to come out in the same day. Once they arrived, they were friendly, quick, and actually explained the issue and how to fix it. The price they gave was the price they charged, which was very fair. We will definitely be using them for HVAC needs in the future.

Preparing Lakeland Homes for Seasonal Weather
Lakeland’s weather patterns can create significant strain on HVAC systems. Extended summer heat increases cooling run times, while sudden winter temperature drops demand dependable heating performance.
​
Seasonal preparation helps reduce breakdown risk and improve efficiency. We focus on:
-
Cleaning condenser and evaporator coils
-
Checking refrigerant levels and system pressures
-
Inspecting electrical components and wiring
-
Testing heat strips and backup heating systems
-
​Inspecting burners, gas pressure, and ignition components
-
Verifying airflow and system performance
Routine maintenance often prevents small issues from turning into major repairs. Addressing worn components early can extend system lifespan and maintain steady indoor comfort throughout the year.
​
Our goal is simple: help Lakeland homeowners stay ahead of seasonal stress with proactive service and practical repairs.

FAQs for System Maintenance
How often should I schedule an HVAC system tune-up?
We recommend two tune-ups per year:​
-
One in the Spring for your air conditioning system
-
One in the Fall for your heating system
Seasonal maintenance keeps things running smoothly, extends the life of your equipment, and helps catch small problems before they become expensive repairs.
How can I prepare my home for severe weather?
A little preparation helps your HVAC system run efficiently and keeps your home comfortable, whether it’s hot or cold.​​
​
-
Clear vents and registers. Make sure furniture, rugs, or curtains aren’t blocking supply or return vents.
-
Seal gaps around doors and windows.
-
Adjust ceiling fans. Clockwise in winter to push warm air down; counterclockwise in summer to create a cooling breeze.
-
Be ready. Keep blankets, space heaters, fans, or portable AC units handy for temporary outages.
How often should I replace my air filter?
Most homes benefit from changing filters every 1–3 months.
Homes with pets, allergies, or high foot traffic should check monthly, while lightly used systems may stretch to 2–3 months.
Regular filter changes improve airflow, maintain efficiency, and prevent unnecessary wear on your HVAC system.
Why does my system struggle during extreme weather?
During very hot summers or sudden winter cold snaps, your HVAC system has to work harder and run longer cycles to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. These extended run times increase wear on motors and electrical components inside the system. Dirty coils, restricted airflow, or low refrigerant levels can also reduce efficiency and make it harder for the system to keep up.
​
If your heating or cooling system runs constantly but still falls behind, a seasonal maintenance visit can help identify small issues before they become larger repairs.
