"We were taken advantage of from a Jacksonville company when we needed help. DO NOT use this company for any plumbing, cooling or heating needs even if it’s an emergency. Please read the following: We called FENWICK for assistance with our HVAC. During a recent cold snap our HVAC system froze and required immediate attention. A technician arrived and said he couldn’t work on the system until it was defrosted. If it wasn’t frosted that night, he wasn’t sure when he or any other associate could return. He said it would cost $188.00 to defrost the system. For over an hour the associate and I, in freezing temperatures, late in the evening, using hot water from our bathroom tub and our buckets, defrosted the unit. He diagnosed the problem and said we needed a Heat Pump Defroster Sensor. (part number: HH18HA279). The part had to be ordered and would take 5 to 7 days and the part would cost $441.00. Installation could take another 5 to 7 days. FENWICK charged us $89.00 for the service visit and $188.00 to defrost the unit. The part was installed about a week later. While waiting for the part I went to their web site and found that 3 coupons were available but were not offered. We asked the technician why he didn’t offer the coupons to which he replied “that’s up to you”. I took a photo of the part number and found that the part was sold by FACTORY AUTHORIZED PARTS. I found the part on-line for $31.00 and that it was available from Amazon and could be delivered free the next day. The final cost was $490.00 for the installation of a $31.00 part. After questioning the cost, FENWICK offered to waive the $89.00 service fee and offered to honor the coupons we found on-line from their web site. Our final cost was $530.00 ($342.00 plus $188.00) for the service call. Caveat Emptor!"

Your Trusted HVAC Contractors for AC Repair Services in Edgewater, New Smyrna Beach, and Northeast Coastal Communities! Advanced Air and Heat is a local heating and air conditioning company that has been in existence for over 20 years. As a family oriented company we employ local hvac contractors committed to providing the highest quality hvac service and hvac maintenance in your area. We are based in Edgewater, FL and also serve the areas of New Smyrna Beach, Port Orange, Daytona and Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, Holly Hill, Ormond and Ormond Beach, Ponce Inlet, Flagler Beach, Palm Coast, Bunnell, Osteen, DeLand and Deltona, Saint Augustine, Deleon Springs, Crescent City, Oviedo, Lake Helen and Titusville.

"Be aware of this ripoff company. A technician came to my house to do the maintenance of my air condition which I had purchased from Air Advance 6 years ago. Same name but a different company. Apparently the fee was going to be $49. The kid was accompanied by a sales person who was looking for a chance to sell me a new AC. It seems to be their business style and was a complete set up. They told me that the maintenance couldn't be done because the capacitor and the motor were broken. Apparently the broken piece was covered under the warranty by Daikin but the labor was not. At the end they never did the maintenance but charged me $500 for a 10 minutes job. They did not install the original capacitor from Daikin as I was being told but a Chinese no name brand product which costs $11 on Amazon. I have the proof. I forgot to mention that the technician arrived drunk. With his boozy breath he also told me the motor was spinning the wrong direction (!) and also needed to be replaced which would add another cost of $800. He said he would order it the next day. When I called the office they were unaware of a broken motor. Of course the manager never called me back. This company is dishonest and unserious. The $49 maintenance fee is just the bait to force you into paying for excessive labor."

Founded in 1959, Tropic Aire is a full line Contracting Firm. We offer complete HVAC Services to the Residential and Commercial customer.

"Thankful for the annual maintenance and UV bulb replacement that was recently performed by Mr. Percival (didn't get last name). This was year one maintenance, after last years' new HVAC installation. The UV light replacement was not unexpected as it was the old bulb from the prior HVAC system (indicative of good cost consciousness for the consumer). The technician Percival was well-equipped with the latest tools and equipment, and was informative, presentable, courteous, and efficient. We've had decades of experience as a customer of Tropic Aire and are grateful for the knowledge and professionalism of the field and office staff. Thank you for a great install last year, and for keeping our system operating at its best every year!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

You can expect a diesel generator to last for up to 30,000 hours of use, which works out to 20 to 25 years with the proper maintenance, of course. That depends on how much you use it, so a diesel generator used for emergencies a couple of times a year will last a lot longer than a generator that takes over for a faulty electrical grid every month for a day or two. 

Potential benefits of using a natural gas generator include reducing your carbon footprint, lower likelihood of carbon monoxide exposure, budget-friendly operating costs, and low-maintenance, continuous fuel supply. Some possible drawbacks, though, include higher initial installation costs, dependency on a natural gas supply, and installation complexity. Keep in mind that pros and cons will vary based on the type and brand of natural gas generator. 

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.
