Air Conditioning Services in Alachua
Florida summers are no joke, and Alachua is no exception. When temperatures regularly push into the 90s with humidity to match, your central air conditioning system is the most critical piece of equipment in your home. Our team specializes in every aspect of residential AC service:
Central AC Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner is more than 15 years old, running inefficiently, or requiring frequent repairs, it may be time for a new AC installation. We're proud to install American Standard systems — one of the most trusted names in the industry — and we'll help you select the right size and efficiency rating for your Alachua home.
AC Repair and Emergency Service
When your AC stops working in the middle of a Florida heat wave, you need fast, reliable air conditioning repair. Our technicians arrive with fully stocked trucks and the expertise to diagnose and fix most problems in a single visit.
AC Maintenance and Tune-Ups
The best way to avoid unexpected breakdowns is with regular AC maintenance. Our tune-up service includes a comprehensive inspection of your entire system — checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, testing electrical connections, and verifying airflow.
Heat Pump Services in Alachua
Ducted heat pumps are an excellent fit for the Alachua climate because they provide both cooling and heating from a single system. During our mild winters, a heat pump operates far more efficiently than a traditional furnace, and in summer it cools your home just like a conventional AC unit.
Mini-Split and Ductless Systems in Alachua
Not every space in your Alachua home has access to ductwork — and that's where ductless mini-split systems shine. Whether you're adding comfort to a garage conversion, sunroom, bonus room, or an older home without ducts, a mini-split installation gives you targeted heating and cooling exactly where you need it.
We install and service American Standard mini-split systems, known throughout the industry for whisper-quiet operation and exceptional energy efficiency. Our team also provides mini-split repair and mini-split maintenance to keep your ductless system performing at its best.
Furnace Installation
While Florida winters are generally mild, Alachua does experience cold snaps where nighttime temperatures dip into the 30s and 40s. If your home relies on a furnace for heating, we offer professional furnace installation and replacement using American Standard equipment.
Package Unit Services in Alachua
Package units — also called packaged systems — combine heating and cooling components into a single outdoor cabinet. They're a popular choice for Alachua homes with limited indoor space for a separate air handler and furnace. A+ Air Conditioning & Refrigeration provides complete package unit services:
Indoor Air Quality Services in Alachua
Florida's humidity creates ideal conditions for mold, mildew, dust mites, and other airborne allergens. If your Alachua home has musty odors, excessive dust, or family members experiencing allergy symptoms indoors, it's time to look at your indoor air quality. We offer a complete suite of IAQ solutions:
Air Quality Testing
Our air quality testing service identifies exactly what's in your home's air — from pollen and pet dander to mold spores and volatile organic compounds.
Air Filtration and Purification
We install Aprilaire and Honeywell whole-home air filtration systems that capture particles your standard HVAC filter misses. These systems integrate directly into your existing ductwork and remove allergens, bacteria, and other contaminants.
UV Light Air Purification
Reme Halo UV light systems work inside your ductwork to neutralize mold, bacteria, and viruses using advanced oxidation technology. Our team at Envirovac — our exclusive indoor air quality and duct cleaning brand — specializes in these installations. Learn more at Envirovac.
Humidity Control
Florida humidity doesn't stop at your front door. Our Aprilaire and Honeywell whole-home dehumidification systems maintain comfortable indoor humidity levels between 30% and 50%, preventing mold growth, protecting wood surfaces, and making your AC run more efficiently.
Professional Duct Cleaning
Over time, your ductwork accumulates dust, debris, pet hair, and even mold. Our Envirovac team provides thorough professional duct cleaning using specialized equipment to remove contaminants and restore clean, healthy airflow throughout your Alachua home.
Blown-In Insulation
Proper attic insulation is one of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make for energy efficiency in Florida. If your Alachua home is losing conditioned air through the attic, our blown-in insulation service using Owen's Corning products can make a noticeable difference in your comfort and your utility bills.
Commercial HVAC Services in Alachua
A+ Air Conditioning & Refrigeration serves more than just homeowners. Alachua's growing business community — from restaurants and retail shops to office complexes and industrial facilities — depends on reliable climate control. Our commercial HVAC team handles:

Whether you're replacing a failing AC system or upgrading to a more efficient heat pump, we'll help you find a payment plan that works for your situation.

In Alachua's demanding climate, regular maintenance isn't optional — it's essential.
