Heating in Coral Gables, FL

Heating service is the repair, maintenance and replacement of the equipment that warms your home. In Florida that is usually a heat pump or electric heat strips, and sometimes a gas furnace. You need it when heat mode blows cool air, the heat trips a breaker, or a burning smell lingers after the first use. In Coral Gables, Abraham AC provides heating from its office in Oakland Park.

Signs

When to book heating

  • Heat mode blows cool or lukewarm air for long periods

The visit

What to expect

  1. You describe what the system is doing and, if you know it, what type of heat you have.
  2. The technician checks the thermostat settings, filter and airflow.
  3. Depending on your system, they test the heat pump's heating and defrost operation, the heat strips and their safety limits, or the furnace's ignition, burner and venting.
  4. They explain the fault and your options before any repair.
  5. They run a full heating cycle to confirm the house warms up normally.

Florida notes

Heating in Florida’s climate

  • Most Florida homes heat with a heat pump or with electric heat strips in the air handler, since heat is only needed on cooler days. The same outdoor unit that cools in summer often heats in winter.
  • In cold, damp weather a heat pump runs a defrost cycle. A little steam from the outdoor unit and a short pause in warm air during defrost are normal.
  • Heat strips and furnaces can sit unused for months in Florida, so dust settles on them. A brief burning-dust smell the first time the heat runs is common and should fade quickly.
  • Because the heat is used so rarely, test it on a mild day in the fall so a problem does not surface on the first cold night.

  • “AC went out. Got a ridiculously high quote from one company then 2 others about the same. Abraham was one of the 2 and went with them due to tech Rafael customer service and attentiveness to detail. Informed me all the way through the process and was very transparent. Would highly recommend.”

  • “I used Abraham AC a few years ago to help with a AC issue with a house we were just about to sell. They were kind enough to suggest a good, used unit saving us 1000s. I've since recommended them countless times…”

Questions

Heating in Coral Gables, answered

Who provides heating in Coral Gables, FL?

Abraham AC (954-491-3220) provides heating in Coral Gables. Enter your ZIP to book online from Abraham AC, or call to check your address.

Is a burning smell normal when I turn on the heat?

A light, dusty burning smell for a short time on the first cool day is common, because dust is burning off the heater. If the smell is strong, smells electrical or does not fade, switch the system off and call a technician. If you see smoke, leave the home and call 911.

Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm if I have a gas furnace?

Yes. Any home with gas appliances or an attached garage should have working carbon monoxide alarms. If one sounds, get everyone outside and call 911.

Why does my heat pump sometimes blow cool air?

Heat pump air is warm rather than hot, so it can feel cool against your hand, and during a defrost cycle the system briefly blows cooler air. If it blows cool air for long periods in heat mode, book a diagnosis.
