It’s officially the dog days of summer – ac breakdown days – and if you’re new to Southwest Florida, we’d love to tell you that this is as hot as it gets — but we’d be lying. And if you’ve lived here for awhile, you know it’s not even August yet – and that some say that September makes August look downright chilly. It’s July in the tropics – and while people like to say, “It’s the humidity, not the heat,” we all know it’s BOTH.
When it gets this hot in Southwest Florida, one thing we know for sure is that air conditioning is truly a lifesaver. Not only do we want to come home to a cool home after a long day at the beach, but we also need air conditioning here. If you live here, you know that’s the absolute truth! That’s why if your AC system breaks, Home-Tech considers it an emergency and will provide same-day service.
