Winter Park homes, and what goes wrong in them

Winter Park has some of the oldest housing in Central Florida. Around Park Avenue, Rollins College and the chain of lakes, homes from the 1920s to the 1950s have been renovated, added onto and re-ducted more than once. It is common to find two or three systems of different ages serving one house, with an addition on its own unit and the original rooms on another.

Those houses bring particular problems: attics too low to run proper ducts, returns in the wrong place, and equipment squeezed into closets that were never meant for it. Humidity control matters more in a 1930s house with plaster walls and original windows than in a new build, and an oversized unit makes it worse.

East Winter Park, around Aloma and Winter Park Pines, is a different story: 1960s to 1980s ranch homes with their second or third system and, usually, their first ductwork. Here the call is often a tired system on original ducts, and we price both options so you can decide.

One more Winter Park detail: the oak canopy. Outdoor units under old oaks collect leaves, pollen and moss on the condenser coil faster than units in the open, which costs capacity by mid-summer. A spring tune-up that cleans the coil is worth more here than almost anywhere else we work.

Questions we hear a lot

Can you work on the AC in an older Winter Park home?

Yes. Homes from the 1920s to the 1950s around Park Avenue and the lakes are a regular part of our work: systems added long after the house was built, additions on their own units, and attics too low for standard ductwork. We repair what is there and, when it is time, size a replacement to the house as it is now.

Why does my Winter Park house feel humid even when it is cool?

Usually an oversized system or leaky ducts. A unit that is too big cools the air quickly and shuts off before it has removed the moisture. Ducts that leak pull in humid attic air. Both are common in renovated older homes, and both show up in the measurements we take on a visit.

Do you handle homes with more than one AC system?

Yes. Many Winter Park houses have two or three systems of different ages. We can service all of them on one visit, tell you which one is nearest the end of its life, and plan replacements so you are not replacing everything at once.

How quickly can you get to Winter Park?

Same-day or next-day in most cases. Call (407) 290-9517 during office hours, Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm ET; after hours a live answering service picks up and the office calls you back first thing.

Will replacing the system in an older Winter Park home mean opening walls?

Usually not. Most replacements reuse the existing refrigerant lines and duct connections, and the work stays in the attic, the closet and the yard. When the ducts have to be rerouted or a return has to be added, we say so at the estimate, before you commit, and we protect floors and finishes while we work.
