The full spec
Every line, in detail.
What each service actually includes — and why Southwest Florida’s heat, humidity, and salt air make it matter.
SR-01
AC Service & Repair — Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Naples
When your air conditioner quits in a Southwest Florida summer, waiting isn’t comfortable — and for kids, seniors, and pets it isn’t safe. Legacy Air runs 24/7 emergency dispatch with fast, honest diagnosis on every major brand and model. We find the actual fault — refrigerant leak, failed capacitor, clogged condensate drain, thermostat, or electrical — explain it in plain English, and get your approval before any work starts.
Our region is hard on equipment: ten months of cooling load, humidity that rarely drops below 50%, afternoon lightning storms, and salt air off the Gulf and the canals. That’s why the most common repair calls we run in Lee and Collier County are clogged drain lines, corroded coils, and storm-stressed electronics — and why our trucks roll stocked to fix them in one visit.
Quick checks before you call: confirm the breaker hasn’t tripped, the thermostat has fresh batteries, and the filter isn’t choked. Still down? Call 239-677-7806 — day, night, weekend, or holiday.
Signs you need it
- Warm or weak air from the vents
- Water pooling around the air handler
- Short cycling — on, off, on again
- Breaker trips when the AC starts
- Grinding, hissing, or bubbling sounds
- Cooling bills climbing month over month

AC Maintenance & Tune-Ups in Southwest Florida
In most of the country an air conditioner rests half the year. In Southwest Florida it runs eight to ten months straight — so we recommend two precision tune-ups a year: spring, before peak load, and fall, after the season’s worst. Regular maintenance protects efficiency, catches small faults before they strand you in July, and keeps manufacturer warranties valid.
Every Legacy Air maintenance visit follows a written checklist — no drive-by filter swaps:
| System | What we do |
|---|
| Coils | Clean condenser & inspect evaporator coil — the #1 defense against salt-air corrosion and lost capacity |
| Refrigerant | Verify charge, superheat & subcool readings against manufacturer spec |
| Condensate drain | Clear and treat the drain line — algae-clogged drains are Southwest Florida’s most common AC failure |
| Electrical | Tighten connections, test capacitors, relays & contactors under load |
| Airflow | Measure static pressure, inspect blower, replace or check filter |
| Controls | Calibrate thermostat, verify cycle times & safety switches |
| Report | Written condition report with anything worth watching — no commission upselling, ever |
DR-03
Duct Replacement & New Ductwork
Leaky, crushed, or undersized ductwork silently wastes a big share of the air you pay to cool — in older Florida homes, losses of 20–30% are common. If some rooms never cool, the house is dusty no matter how often you clean, or your ducts date to the original build, the duct system is usually the culprit — not the AC unit.
We design replacement runs to the load each room actually needs, seal every joint with mastic, and verify the result with static-pressure readings — sealed, right-sized ductwork that delivers the air your system produces.
Signs you need it
- Hot rooms the thermostat can’t fix
- Whistling or rattling behind walls or ceilings
- Dust rebuilding days after cleaning
- Ductwork 15+ years old or flex duct sagging in the attic
- High bills with normal AC operation
DC-04
Duct Cleaning for Southwest Florida Homes
Every cooling season pulls dust, pet dander, pollen, and construction debris into your duct system — then recirculates it through every room, every cycle. Our deep cleaning removes years of buildup from supply and return runs, registers, and the air handler cabinet, restoring airflow and cutting the allergen load your family breathes.
Duct cleaning pairs naturally with duct sanitation below: cleaning removes the buildup, sanitation neutralizes what humidity grows back.
DS-05
Duct Sanitation & Antimicrobial Treatment
Southwest Florida humidity doesn’t just make you sweat — inside a duct system it feeds mold, mildew, bacteria, and the musty odor you smell when the AC kicks on. Our antimicrobial fogging treatment reaches every interior surface of the ductwork and air handler, neutralizing microbial growth at the source instead of masking it.
It’s the right call after a duct cleaning, after any mold remediation, in homes with allergy or asthma sufferers, and in properties that have sat closed through a humid off-season.
SY-06
AC System Replacement & Installation
Florida heat works air conditioners hard: a system that lasts 15 years up north often gives out at 10–12 here — sooner near salt water. When repairs start stacking up on an aging unit, replacement math usually wins: today’s high-efficiency systems can cut summer cooling costs dramatically while holding humidity in check.
We size every replacement with a real load calculation — not a rule of thumb — then install, pull the county permit, haul away the old equipment, and commission the new system with documented refrigerant charge and airflow numbers. Financing options are available; ask dispatch when you schedule your estimate.
When replacement beats repair
- Your system is 10+ years old and repairs are getting frequent
- Cooling bills keep rising despite maintenance
- The system runs constantly but the house stays humid
- A major component — compressor or coil — has failed out of warranty
AP-07
Air Purification & Indoor Air Quality
Your home’s air is only as clean as the system moving it. We install whole-home media filtration that captures what throwaway filters miss, UV germicidal lights mounted at the coil — where Florida humidity grows mold first — and dehumidification that takes the load off your AC and keeps indoor moisture in the healthy range.
The result: fewer allergens, fewer spores and pathogens in circulation, less dust, and air that smells like nothing at all — the way it should.
NC-08
New-Construction HVAC — Design-Build
The best HVAC system is the one engineered before the drywall goes up. Legacy Air works with builders, general contractors, and owner-builders across Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties from the blueprint stage: room-by-room load calculations, duct design that fits the structure, equipment specified for Florida code and Florida heat, and clean coordination through inspection and commissioning.
Custom homes, spec builds, and additions — designed once, built right, documented for the county and the warranty.
PH-09
Pool Heater Installation, Repair & Service
A Southwest Florida pool should be swimmable in January. We install, repair, and service pool heat pumps sized to your pool’s volume and exposure, so the water hits your temperature on your schedule — and stays there efficiently through the cooler months.
Already have a heater that’s tripping breakers, throwing error codes, or just not keeping up? Same crew, same standard: diagnose first, fix it right.
