Local HVAC service for Fort Lauderdale homes

Know your Fort Lauderdale house

The George T. Lohmeyer plant treats wastewater and disposes of it through deep injection wells. Fort Lauderdale's Fiveash plant draws groundwater from the Biscayne Aquifer and can supply up to 75 million gallons a day.

The city maintains more than 1,400 miles of water and sewer lines. Many houses have heat pumps or electric strip heat rather than gas furnaces, since heating needs are modest.

AC runs almost all year here, so filters, coils and drain lines need more attention than in milder places. A clogged condensate line is a very common call. The city is known as the Venice of America for its roughly 165 miles of canals.

Rules and utilities worth knowing

Natural gas in Fort Lauderdale comes from a local gas utility where lines exist, since many homes here are all-electric. Electricity comes from Florida Power & Light. If you ever smell gas, leave the building and call the gas utility from outside. Air conditioning contractors in Florida are licensed through the Construction Industry Licensing Board at the Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

A little prep helps

Write down the thermostat setting and what the room temperature actually reads.
