A Guide To HVAC System Installation in Jacksonville

A Guide To HVAC System Installation in Jacksonville

If your HVAC system is on its last legs then there’s never been a better time for a new HVAC system installation in Jacksonville. Summer is right around the corner and that means unbearable heat that can not only make you uncomfortable but also make things dangerous in your home. At Ocean State, we’ve been performing first-rate HVAC system installations in Jacksonville since 1975 so we know when an HVAC system should be repaired and when it should be replaced.

One of our primary goals at Ocean State is to save you money. We’re a locally-owned company so we feel a genuine connection to this community and hate to see outside companies come to our area to try to sell you systems and products you don’t need. To make things easier for you as you look for a new HVAC system in Jacksonville, we thought we’d put together a list of things to keep in mind when you’re shopping for both a new system as well as a Jacksonville HVAC company to install it in your home.

Have a Budget In Mind

HVAC systems can range dramatically in price so it’s important to know how much you have available to spend. We have one of the largest inventories of HVAC systems and parts on the First Coast so our installation team will consult with you to determine the perfect fit and price for your home. We know that a new HVAC system in Jacksonville can be a big investment which is why we offer financing from Wells Fargo and a series of seasonal specials for up to $1,200 off the installation of select systems!

Be Sure You Trust Your Installation Team

Most companies that install HVAC systems in Jacksonville spend a lot of time telling you why they’re the best but we prefer to let our customers do the talking for us. We’ve been in business for 49 years and maintain a five-star Google rating because our customers know us to be honest, capable, and effective. When you meet with an HVAC installation team, be sure to ask them a series of questions about the specifics of why your system needs to be replaced and what other options you may have. Don’t forget the following things before meeting with an HVAC installation team in Jacksonville:

  • Non-local companies will try to upsell you on things you don’t need but you always have the power to say no and request a second opinion.
  • This is a BIG investment on your part and you need to know that the team you choose understands that and will do what they can to ensure you get the most bang for your buck.

Research Parts and Systems

You know your home and budget better than anyone so research what’s available before meeting with an installation team. If you have the answers to the following questions, you’ll be in a much better position to identify the best fit for your HVAC system in Jacksonville:

  • What is the average consumer rating for each system?
  • Should the system break down, are the repairs expensive, and are parts hard to find?
  • What does SEER Rating mean and why is it important?
  • Will any other part of my home need to be changed to accommodate my new system and will that cost extra?
  • What is the warranty on the system?
  • Does a new HVAC system installation in Jacksonville come with a maintenance plan? At Ocean State, we want your system to stand the test of time so we immediately sign you up for our maintenance plan that allows for twice-annual system tune-ups to keep your system firing on all cylinders.

Jacksonville HVAC Maintenance Tips Before Spring

Jacksonville HVAC Maintenance Tips Before Spring

Springtime in Jacksonville is just around the corner which means a respite from the cold and a bit of a break for your HVAC system. While the temperatures may not fluctuate to extremes in the coming months, it is important to ensure that your system is firing on all cylinders before spring rears its blossoming, beautiful head. When you live on the First Coast you know how important it is to have a functioning AC system and our Jacksonville HVAC maintenance plans are just the thing to tighten up your system year-round so you don’t need to worry about your system starting to deteriorate.

So what do you get when you sign up for one of Ocean State’s Jacksonville HVAC maintenance plans? Well, our plans allow for twice-annual appointments at a discounted rate so that our techs can inspect your system, make any tweaks and repairs that are necessary, and get your system firing on all cylinders year-round. As we approach the dawning of spring, these Jacksonville HVAC maintenance appointments become so much more important because we all know what this area feels like in the summer without cold air conditioning!

While spring isn’t here quite yet, there are some things you can do on your own to make sure your system is well-maintained and operating properly.

Change Your Filters

We understand that “changing your filters” is probably pretty low on your priority list this spring but you’d be surprised how much regular filter changes can extend the life of your system. Spring is known as being allergy season and filters can help remove the harmful contaminants that cause so much sneezing and discomfort. At Ocean State, we take the work of changing your filter off your plate with our Filter Club which delivers you the filters you need, when you need them!

Check Your Thermostat

If your thermostat isn’t 100% reliable then it may be time to upgrade to a smart thermostat. The technology in this area has really evolved in just the past few years and now smart thermostats can allow you to control your thermostat in every room in the house. If your thermostat isn’t communicating well with your system then you’ll not only have inefficient heating and air throughout the house, you’ll end up losing money in the long run. A smart thermostat allows you to remain energy efficient no matter the season and throughout your entire house.

Examine Your Outdoor System

We’ve had a lot of storms this winter which could cause detritus to build up around your outside system and cause disruptions. Now is definitely the time to head outside and clear the area around your system to prevent the kind of wear and tear that causes it to become less efficient during the summer.

Clean Your Air Ducts

Spring is almost here which means that allergy season is about to make an appearance. A clogged air duct inhibits air circulation throughout your home which can allow harmful particles to accumulate over time. In addition to the contaminants in the air, a clogged air duct makes your HVAC system work harder which contributes to wear and tear over time. At Ocean State, we use a patented Abatement System that uses an advanced, high-pressure push/pull HEPA method to clean the walls of your duct without getting any of the contaminants into the living area of your home. It’s quick, efficient, and dare we say, nothing to sneeze at.

At the end of the day, our Jacksonville HVAC maintenance plans are the best way to keep your system humming year-round. As we enter the spring season, we become more susceptible to the kind of allergens that uniquely affect our area. By ensuring every component of your system is firing on all cylinders before spring, you’ll be on the right path to breathing clean air and being fully prepared for the hotter months that are just around the corner!

Why Isn’t My HVAC System Heating The Entire House?

Why Isn’t My HVAC System Heating The Entire House?

There are few things more frustrating than a malfunctioning HVAC system in Jacksonville during the dead of winter. One of the more common problems we’ve seen during the winter is that HVAC systems are adequately heating one room while leaving others chilly and uncomfortable. It can get surprisingly cold on the First Coast so if your HVAC system isn’t heating the entire house then it’s a recipe for discomfort.

If your HVAC system is functioning properly then you shouldn’t be cozy and comfortable in one room only to feel a chill when you enter another. Don’t worry, you don’t have a ghost problem, and the culprit is likely one of the reasons we’ve identified throughout this blog. We’ve identified several of the issues for why your HVAC system in Jacksonville is failing to heat your entire house and offered several explanations and potential DIY solutions that will help you solve the problem.

Reset Your Circuit Breaker

This is usually the go-to suggestion from your significant other that can elicit an eye-roll but in this case, it just might be the solution. In the case of a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker, a reset can either fix or help you identify the issue. If the problem persists after a circuit breaker reset then you’ll need to call the Jacksonville HVAC technicians at Ocean State for an appointment to diagnose the problem.

Clean Clogged Air Ducts

Your air ducts distribute heat all throughout your house and a leak or obstruction may be the reason your house isn’t fully heating up. The Ocean State team uses a patented Abatement System that uses an advanced, high-pressure push/pull HEPA method to clean the walls of your duct without getting any of the contaminants into the living area of your home. Regular ductwork ensures unobstructed airflow in your home and we’re currently offering a winter special of $150 off duct cleaning! In addition to improving your home’s airflow, ductwork makes your air cleaner and also saves you money on energy bills!

Your HVAC System Needs Maintenance

Look, we know that most people don’t think about their HVAC system until problems arise. Our maintenance plans allow for twice-annual visits to check on the health of your system and stave off any small issues before they become BIG problems. If your HVAC system is failing to heat your entire home then it’s likely due to an underlying system issue that our NATE-certified technicians will be able to identify and repair–often in a single visit!

Check Low or Leaking Refrigerant

Low refrigerant levels can often be the cause of your HVAC compressor breaking down entirely which is a costly repair. Having an experienced HVAC professional to your house to add refrigerant to your system will reignite it to help distribute heat throughout your home. This is NOT something you should do on your own and our HVAC technicians can spot a leaky or low refrigerant issue from a mile away and immediately fix the problem.

Your Thermostat Might Be Malfunctioning

If your thermostat isn’t calibrated correctly then it can cause heat to be incorrectly distributed throughout your home. Oftentimes, this problem manifests itself when one room is noticeably MUCH hotter than the others. These disconnections between your thermostat and your furnace/system are easy to identify and most importantly, relatively simple to fix. It might be as simple as reprogramming your thermostat or could require a thermostat repair but either way, your heat should be redistributed properly in no time by our HVAC professionals!

If your HVAC system isn’t heating your entire house then give us a call at Ocean State. Our team is available 24/7 to identify and repair the issues so that you don’t have to worry about one room being an inferno and the other being an icebox. We’ve been this community’s choice of Jacksonville HVAC technicians since 1975 and we’ve never seen a system problem we couldn’t handle!

 

Why Winter Is The Best Time For HVAC Maintenance

Why Winter Is The Best Time For HVAC Maintenance

Snowbirds may flock to Florida for our mild winters but they also overestimate how bone-chillingly it can be when cold fronts arrive. Your HVAC system had to work overtime throughout one of the hottest summers on record and there’s nothing worse than having it malfunction when the temperatures plummet. It may not be a frozen tundra outside but that’s exactly why winter is the best time for HVAC maintenance in Jacksonville. A simple tune-up can not only keep you cozy and comfortable during the colder months but it also revitalizes your system in preparation for another oppressively hot summer.

At Ocean State, we offer a maintenance plan that provides the peace of mind that comes with not having to worry about your HVAC system all year. Since the onset of winter is the best time to service your system, we thought we’d provide a few examples of the services our maintenance plans provide to help you weather the winter and sail through the next summer!

Twice-Annual HVAC Maintenance

The First Coast is an area susceptible to extreme temperature fluctuations and our HVAC maintenance plans allow for twice-annual tune-ups to ensure you’re not left in the cold or sweating your system. Our NATE-certified technicians will meticulously inspect your system and provide the kind of HVAC maintenance in Jacksonville that has earned us a five-star rating from Google. These tune-ups require very little of your time and will help diagnose and fix any issues that may have arisen after the intense summer we just experienced. 

HVAC System Cleaning/Air Filter Replacements

You’re far more susceptible to harmful pathogens in the air that cause common colds and the flu during the winter season. Our maintenance plans allow for extensive cleaning using safe chemicals to remove the detritus and grime that may be blocking your air filters. This process not only prevents the buildup of germs within the air in your home, but it also leaves your home smelling fresh and clean.

We also know that “changing your air filters” is likely pretty low on your to-do list and we’ve come up with a solution that allows you to never have to worry about it. The Ocean State Filter Club is a convenient, automated service that automatically delivers air filters to your home or office right when you need them. Rather than worry about whether or not you need to change your air filters or where you need to go to purchase them, they’ll just arrive in the mail right on time!

Customizable Maintenance Plans

Ocean State is the company your neighbors recommend because we provide customized service based on your unique system. We’ll never try to upsell you on services you don’t need and we’ll cater our maintenance plan to what’s best for you and your system. If your system took a particularly rough beating during the summer then we’ll address the issue and fix it so that it’s running smoothly when the cold temperatures arrive with winter. 

HVAC Maintenance Plans Save You Money

Have you noticed that your energy bills have decreased since summer ends? This drop won’t last long as we enter the colder months of winter and a system tune-up is a great way to make sure your system isn’t overexerting itself to keep up. Winter is definitely coming and our maintenance plans will have your system breathing fire like Khaleesi’s dragons so that you’re getting the maximum efficiency from your HVAC unit.

The onset of winter is the best time for HVAC maintenance in Jacksonville and our maintenance plans provide the peace of mind and energy savings that will keep your family AND your bank account comfortable. Our team of NATE-certified technicians will come to your home and diagnose any issues before they become a problem so that your system is firing on all cylinders once things get frosty outside. We call ourselves the company your neighbors recommend and the customers that have received our HVAC maintenance in Jacksonville know they can weather the winter and get a headstart on summer at the best prices around!

How Do I Know If My Heat Pump Is Bad?

How Do I Know If My Heat Pump Is Bad?

There are few things worse than being left in the cold due to a malfunctioning heat pump. A vital part of maintaining comfort in your home during cold snaps, your heat pump can often make strange noises that are either perfectly normal or cause for alarm. Our heating repair specialists have seen it all so we want to make the distinction between a normal heat pump defrosting cycle and other signs that your heat pump may be malfunctioning.

How Does The Heat Pump Defrosting Cycle Work?

During dramatic drops in temperature, a layer of frost will build outside your heat pump which causes it to work harder and therefore less effective. The defrost cycle fundamentally reverses the heat pump process to remove this layer of frost from the outer coil and restore the pump to maximum efficiency. This will often cause the heat pump to make strange noises, shake, or even emit steam. Don’t be alarmed–it just means your heat pump is working effectively!

 

 

How Do I Know If My Heat Pump Is Bad?

Increased Energy Bills

  • If you see a noticeable spike in your energy bills it can mean that your heat pump is overworked. 

Strange Smells

  • If your heat pump is emitting a strange odor then it could be due to mold formation. If your heat pump emits a burning smell then it’s important to call a trained HVAC technician because it could become a fire hazard. 

Rattling, Screeching, or Grinding noises

  • While it’s natural for a heat pump to make a lot of noise, the sound of rattling or screeching could be due to a loose fan belt or an issue with a central air fan motor.

Hot And Cold Rooms

  • If there are different hot and cold rooms within your house then it’s a sign your heat pump is struggling to keep up with the demand of heating your home. 

 

What Are Common Heat Pump Problems?

  • Water leaks (both inside and outside the heat pump). 
  • Moldy buildup.
  • Heat pump doesn’t even turn on.
  • Blockage or detritus surrounding the heat pump.
  • Broken starter capacitor.

It can be difficult to know if your heat pump is bad but everything listed above should be a great indicator. Once you’re aware of the signs of a malfunctioning heat pump, the issues become much easier to diagnose. At Ocean State, we’ve seen it all when it comes to heat pumps which is why we recommend our clients sign up for one of our maintenance plans to ensure no unexpected issues arise at the worst possible time. A broken heat pump does not mean catastrophe and we always recommend hiring skilled technicians to fix the problem and most importantly, save you money on energy costs!

Save Money On Your Energy Bills This Fall

Save Money On Your Energy Bills This Fall

There’s nothing like fall in Florida and its arrival this year is especially welcome given the brutal summer we just experienced! This was one of the hottest summers on record and we know that you felt it even more when you looked at the exorbitant numbers on your energy bill. The cooler temperatures from the fall not only provide a respite from the heat but also an opportunity to give your system a bit of a breather after it had to work overtime to beat the excruciating heat.

More than just keeping an eye on the thermostat this fall, there are several ways you can save money on your energy bill this fall while also giving your system a bit of a breather. Our team genuinely cares about our customers and does everything we can to save you money which is why we’ve compiled this list of helpful tips for how to save money on your energy bill in Jacksonville this fall!

Nighttime is the Right Time To Cool Things Down

Did you know that every degree you set back the thermostat for eight hours can save you up to 2 percent on your energy bill? It may not seem like much but that really adds up over time! Lowering the temperature in your home at night allows you to ride the cool of the morning all day while turning off the thermostat. You’re effectively harnessing the power of the outdoors without having to worry about dramatic temperature fluctuations throughout the day which allows you to save money on your energy bill in the fall!

Sign Up For a Maintenance Plan

According to NASA, we experienced the hottest summer on record in 2023. This oppressive heat caused your system to be significantly overworked while potentially exacerbating any potential underlying issues. Nobody ever plans to have their system malfunction and the twice-annual system tune-ups that come with our maintenance plans allow you to push that worry far from your mind. We know summer just ended but winter is right around the corner so there’s never been a better time to schedule a check-up for your system to ensure it’s still firing on all cylinders. You’ll not only have peace of mind knowing that your system is up to snuff but you’ll also save money on your energy bill because your system won’t be overworked.

Duct Cleaning and Filter Changes

Regular duct cleaning not only allows you to save money on your energy bill in the fall but it also clears the air in your home which helps you and your family breathe easier. Fall is flu season and clean air is of paramount importance so regularly changing your air filters ensures that air is circulating properly throughout your home. At Ocean State, we offer a filter club that provides air filters when needed so you don’t have to deal with the hassle. As a club member, the price you pay for each new part will be lower than if you bought your filters one by one at the store. What’s more, regular filter changes extend the life of your system which not only saves you money on your energy in the fall but saves you money year round!

Seal Your Home

There are some fairly simple DIY solutions to help you save money on your energy bill in the fall. Sealing your home is easy to implement and should make a dent in your costs. Here are some options that will make a difference:

  • Ensure all windows are fully closed
  • Add caulking to windows and doors
  • Consider applying weather strips to the movable windows and doors in your home
  • Seal any open stud cavities or drywall gaps
  • Make sure any recessed lighting is insulated

We love watching the leaves fall in Florida but we also love it when our customers’ energy bills fall as well! By implementing these suggestions, you will be able to make your home more energy efficient, save money on your energy bills in the fall, and extend the life of your HVAC system. Our talented team of technicians is always available to visit your home for a system tune-up so you can rest easy knowing everything is airtight!

 

How Often Do I Need AC Service In Jacksonville?

How Often Do I Need AC Service In Jacksonville?

We sure have had a summer for the record books in Jacksonville and the extreme temperatures can really wear down your air conditioning unit. While nobody ever notices an HVAC system working, the wear and tear it accumulates over each season can cause it to stop working at a moment’s notice. There’s nothing worse than an unexpected AC system malfunction so we wanted to provide a helpful guide to how often you need Jacksonville AC service so that you can avoid headaches and discomfort!

When Should I Get HVAC Service In Jacksonville?

No two AC systems are alike which is why we recommend joining our maintenance plans that allow for twice-annual service. Just like with an oil change in a car, regular service can prolong the life of an AC system in Jacksonville so that it fires on all cylinders no matter the age or model. Our team of highly trained technicians have never met an AC system in Jacksonville that they couldn’t handle, so they’ll be able to identify potential issues long before they become a problem, saving you money and providing peace of mind.

What About an HVAC Replacement Instead?

A lot of HVAC companies in Jacksonville are owned by a larger corporation that prioritizes profit over performance so they’ll almost always try to upsell you on a brand-new, expensive system. At Ocean State, we’ve built our five-star Google rating by being honest and effective so if there’s a chance to salvage your system and save you money, we’ll immediately go that route. At the end of the day, regular Jacksonville HVAC service protects your system for the long haul and allows you to address small issues before they become big problems.

What Kind of HVAC Service in Jacksonville Can I Expect?

Our team is well-versed in every make and model of HVAC systems and we’ve won the Carrier Presidents Award EIGHT times by providing the kind of superior Jacksonville AC service you can count on. Our NATE-certified technicians will arrive on time for your maintenance appointment and identify the issues that could be affecting your AC system’s performance. Here are some of the many tasks our technicians perform when performing a system tune-up:

  • Check the air filters. Clogged or dirty air filters can be a source of problems for your HVAC system in Jacksonville and not only will our techs replace them on their visit, we also offer an Air Filter Club that delivers filters to your door when you need them so you don’t have to worry about replacement filters. 
  • Calibrate your thermostat to ensure your system is as energy-efficient as possible.
  • Minimize the friction occurring between the various components of your system so that it’s a well-oiled machine.
  • Make sure the refrigerant is at the correct level. Our team is always there to be able to refill your refrigerant to get your system back to pumping cool air.
  • Run tests on system and safety controls. 
  • Individually analyze each respective component to ensure that each one is working in tandem with the rest of the system to ensure optimum efficiency. With the summer we just had, a lot of the components were overworked so identifying any corrosion or wear early is a great way to mitigate any potential issues. 
  • Make sure your system is getting enough juice so that it runs at peak capacity and you don’t see a shockingly high number on your next electric bill!

Regular HVAC service in Jacksonville is absolutely essential when your system is subjected to the extreme temperatures in our area. Our maintenance plans will provide the kind of tune-ups you need to extend the life of your system and assure you’re not sweating the temperature or your energy bills.

The Benefits of a Smart Thermostat in Jacksonville

The Benefits of a Smart Thermostat in Jacksonville

This has been a downright punishing summer and the heat isn’t going away anytime soon. While extreme temperatures in Florida are inevitable, there is a way you can combat the heat and save money on those sky-high energy bills. At Ocean State, we recommend smart thermostats because they allow your home to become far more energy-efficient, easier to manage, and provide a number of other benefits that save you money when your energy bill arrives.

What Is A Smart Thermostat?

A smart thermostat is a Wi-Fi-enabled device that automatically adjusts heating and cooling temperature settings in your home for optimal performance. In moments of extreme temperature, having a smart thermostat does the work to provide you with peace of mind. At Ocean State, we have extensive experience installing all makes and models of smart thermostats so we thought we’d compile a list of some of the benefits of this efficient and affordable technology!

Convenient and Easy To Use

Smart thermostats use wifi-enabled technology to automatically adjust the temperatures of your home. Once you input your preferred settings, the smart thermostat learns your preferences and makes adjustments based on the external temperature. This ability to control your thermostat from a smartphone enables you to save money on energy bills when you’re not at home. Some smart thermostats are even equipped with voice commands like Alexa so you can tell them to set the temperature to a comfortable 72 degrees and just sit back and relax!

Did We Mention That Smart Thermostats Save You Money On Energy Bills?

All smart thermostats come with manuals that allow you to program for optimal temperatures and efficiency. By identifying the ideal temperatures when you’re home and when you’re away, the smart thermostat takes your initial information and develops a plan designed to reduce energy waste and maintain optimal comfort in your home. There are many different models of smart thermostats but you can expect to see your energy bill fall by anywhere from 10%-23% after installation.

Smart Thermostats Work Together With Other Smart Devices In Your Home

Technology moves at a breakneck pace and as an eight-time Carrier President’s Award winner, we’ve kept up that pace! Smart technology has rapidly become an integral part of the home and smart thermostats in Jacksonville can sync with other smart devices like smart humidifiers and air purification systems. The best part? All of these can be controlled through your smart thermostat!

Track Energy Usage And HVAC System Efficiency

We bet you’ve seen some mighty exorbitant energy bills with the oppressive heat we’ve all felt this summer. A smart thermostat tracks your energy usage and creates a profile that allows you to adjust your preferences to become more energy efficient. A smart thermostat in Jacksonville also allows you to monitor how your energy usage has changed over time which gives you a much better idea of how to reduce your energy bill every single month.

Furthermore, a smart thermostat provides a great indication of whether or not your HVAC system is working properly. We offer maintenance plans at Ocean State but smart thermostats will also let you know if your system is overworked. This allows for preventative maintenance to be performed before whatever issue you’re experiencing becomes a much larger problem.

Smart thermostats may seem intimidating but not only are they incredibly easy to use, but they’re also extremely easy for the Ocean State team to install. We’ve installed nearly every make and model of smart thermostat in Jacksonville and always enjoy hearing from our customers that they’ve seen significant decreases in their energy bills while maintaining the peace of mind that they’re fully in control of their home’s temperature. With the extreme fluctuations in temperature we experience on the First Coast, a smart thermostat in Jacksonville can be an absolute game-changer!

Why It’s Important To Choose A Locally-Owned Jacksonville HVAC Company

Why It’s Important To Choose A Locally-Owned Jacksonville HVAC Company

The First Coast sure looked a lot different when we founded Ocean State in 1975 but our commitment to providing the highest caliber HVAC service in Jacksonville and beyond has remained unchanged since the day we first opened our doors. As the community has changed, so has our industry as we’ve seen our fellow locally-owned and operated businesses swallowed up by large corporations. This dramatic change has occurred frequently over these last few years and despite what you may hear on the radio or even read on other companies websites, the fact remains that Ocean State is now the longest running, largest independently owned and operated residential HVAC company in Jacksonville. We are very proud of that fact.

There are so many benefits in hiring a local, independent HVAC company in Jacksonville that extend far beyond just supporting a local business. Ultimately, any local business is only as successful as their customers allow them to be, so we wanted to take some time to identify why hiring a local HVAC company in Jacksonville benefits the health of your HVAC system, your valuable time, and above all, your bank account.

 

The Company Your Neighbors Recommend Because We ARE Your Neighbors

We like to say we’re the company your neighbors recommend and our five-star Google rating backs that up. The fact of the matter is that we don’t just work and live here, but many members of our team have called Jacksonville home for their entire lives. We’ve tackled every kind of HVAC system issue in Jacksonville because we’ve seen it before from the Southside to Nocatee and from Riverside to St. Augustine.

When you call Ocean State to set up an appointment, you speak to a person in Jacksonville who then directs you to a technician in Jacksonville. With other HVAC companies, you might place a call and talk to someone in Lakeland who has no idea the difference between Ponte Vedra and Yulee. They’ll then outsource your appointment to a team and company of their choosing despite the business you thought you called.

We’d love for you to take a minute to look over our five-star Google reviews because they mention real people on our team. Our technicians take the time to build relationships with our customers in the community and consider it a privilege to provide superior service. This kind of personal attention is only possible with a team that’s locally-based and knows the area.

 

Timing Is Everything With a Broken AC System

We live in an area where extreme temperatures are a fact of life so a broken HVAC system can really make life miserable at the height of summer or winter. As a locally-owned company that operates on the First Coast, we’re available 24/7 to diagnose and fix your issues. You call us, we send out a technician, and they arrive at a time most convenient to you. It’s that simple and you don’t have to worry about going through a complicated dispatch process that gets a technician to your house at a time that’s convenient to you.

 

Our Goal Is To Save You Money Not Sell You Plumbing Services

At Ocean State, we’ve won eight Carrier President’s Awards because we focus all of our attention on honest HVAC repair and outstanding service in our community. When other HVAC companies are bought out, they often add plumbing to their list of services which often means they’ll try to upsell you. Our team focuses on HVAC repair and installation and that alone.

We also know that our customers are people and not part of a quota we need to meet each month. Have you ever called around to get quotes from HVAC companies in Jacksonville and been promised all kinds of outstanding rebates only to discover that the final cost is the same for each company you called? That’s because they’re owned by an outside corporation. At Ocean State, our customers have always been our best source of referrals because we perform honest, effective work and offer maintenance plans that allow for twice annual system checkups so you’re not taken by surprise by a broken system. We are in it for the long term and that means developing and maintaining trust with our customers.

Ocean State is a family-owned, local business and we intend to stay that way because this community is what has allowed us to grow as much as we have since 1975. But this isn’t about us–it’s about you. By hiring a local HVAC repair company in Jacksonville, you’re not only supporting your own community, you’re saving yourself unimaginable discomfort, hassle, and above all, money.

If you’re having HVAC issues just make a local call to (904) 574-5619, speak with our local team right away, and we’ll have a local technician over to your house in no time!

 

Why Ocean State Is The Choice In Jacksonville AC Repair

Why Ocean State Is The Choice In Jacksonville AC Repair

There are few things more uncomfortable than a boiling Florida summer and living with a malfunctioning AC system is almost unthinkable. At Ocean State, we know that you have your choice of Jacksonville AC repair companies to call but we’ve spent nearly 50 years making that choice an easy one. We like to think of ourselves as “the company your neighbors recommend” because well, we ARE based on our five-star rating on Google. 

We don’t want you to have to sweat a broken HVAC system this summer so we wanted to outline a few of the ways that we’ve separated ourselves from other Jacksonville AC repair companies. Your comfort is of paramount importance and making the right call on your HVAC company can make all the difference between a cruel summer and cool summer!

Locally-owned and operated

Over the last few years, we’ve seen so many enormous HVAC companies move into our area. When you call them, you’re connected to an operator who places a call to someone else who outsources the work to another team. At Ocean State, you’ll speak to an actual employee based in Jacksonville and your technician will be based here as well. We’ve seen this community change a lot over the last 50 years but our locally-based technicians still haven’t met a system issue they couldn’t handle!

Five-Star Google Rating

Did we mention that we have a five-star Google rating and over 760 reviews? It’s a number we’re incredibly proud of and there isn’t another Jacksonville AC repair company that can make that claim. We’d encourage you to go and read some of the reviews because they speak to the personal attention we give our customers and it’s that personal attention and quality of service that has made our customers our best source of referrals!

NATE-Certified Technicians

We only hire the best of the best at Ocean State and every single one of our technicians is NATE-certified. We consider it a privilege to be invited into our customers’ homes and our techs are all drug-free, polite, and ready to get to work. We know other Jacksonville AC repair companies will do everything they can to upsell you on a new system but that’s not what we do at Ocean State. If your HVAC system can be repaired, we’ll do everything we can to save you money and ensure your system is as good as new!

EIGHT-TIME Carrier President’s Award Winner

The Carrier President’s Award is one of our industry’s highest honors and we received our EIGHTH this past year. There are so many Jacksonville AC repair companies that will tell you why they’re the best but Ocean State is one of the few that has been nationally recognized by an industry leader. We’re already working on our ninth by providing the kind of superior service that no other company in Jacksonville can offer!
