Is Heating Maintenance Necessary in Florida? 

While the Sunshine State is celebrated for summer fun, getting ready for Lakeland’s mild winter months is just as important as beating the heat. For homeowners searching for reliable heater maintenance in Lakeland, preventative maintenance is a smart way to ensure your HVAC system works when you need it most. Proactive care not only preserves your comfort during cold snaps but keeps your energy bills in check. 

Don’t wait for an unexpected breakdown to call our heating professionals! Our comprehensive heating maintenance plans in Lakeland & Polk County are designed to keep your heater running smoothly throughout the season. Staying ahead with preventative service is the best way to keep your heater reliable and your utility costs lower. 

Many Lakeland residents are surprised that, even in our typically mild winters, overnight lows can fall into the 40s or below—especially during Central Florida cold fronts. If your heater isn’t maintained, it may not operate reliably just when you need it. Our scheduled maintenance services help ensure that your system delivers steady heating performance, even when Central Florida’s weather takes a turn. This is especially reassuring in Polk County, where fast-changing temperatures are not uncommon.

Humidity and shifting temperatures unique to Lakeland and greater Polk County can add stress on heating systems. With regular check-ups, we help you stay ahead of excess moisture, corrosion, and other climate-related risks linked to Central Florida. This reduces the likelihood of costly breakdowns and ensures families and businesses can enjoy safe, dependable heating whenever chilly weather arrives.

Benefits of Professional Heating Maintenance

Scheduling regular tune-ups for your heater is critical to ensuring efficient operation and maximum performance off-season and during winter. When you invest in professional heating maintenance in Lakeland, you unlock a range of important benefits for your home and budget. Some of the main advantages of annual maintenance checks include:  

  • Improved efficiency – Keeping your heater in top condition with regular tune-ups can mean significant savings on monthly energy bills. 
  • Extended longevity – Preventative maintenance helps you avoid premature system replacement and maximizes the lifespan of your investment. 
  • Healthier indoor air quality – Cleaning is a core focus of our tune-ups, improving the air in your home and reducing the risk of allergies and respiratory issues.   
  • Reduced breakdowns – Ongoing maintenance significantly cuts the likelihood of untimely repairs or system failures. 
  • Peace of mind – With regular inspections, you’re confident your home heating system is ready for whatever surprises Polk County weather brings. 

Routine heater maintenance in Lakeland and Polk County is often required for warranty protection from most major equipment manufacturers. Many companies require evidence of regular, professional maintenance before covering certain repairs. At Watts Air Conditioning, Plumbing, & Electrical, our detailed checkups offer that valuable documentation, keeping you compliant and maximizing your heater’s useful life. For property owners, this is a key advantage to preserving equipment value and avoiding preventable out-of-pocket repair costs.

Keeping up with heater maintenance in Lakeland builds confidence during busy seasons or sudden weather changes, like winter cold spells or in advance of the holidays. Reliable HVAC is especially critical for families with young children, seniors, or those with health concerns. By partnering with a trusted, locally engaged company like Watts Air Conditioning, Plumbing, & Electrical, you receive proactive reminders, up-to-date advice, and true local insight into how Central Florida’s weather impacts your home or business comfort needs.

How Often Should I Schedule Heating Maintenance in Lakeland?

For the best performance and energy savings, our professionals recommend scheduling heater maintenance in Lakeland at least once a year, ideally before the cold season starts. However, homes and businesses with frequent use, multi-zoned systems, or larger square footage may benefit from additional service visits annually. 

Homes near Lake Hollingsworth or other local lakes can see increased moisture affecting their HVAC equipment, sometimes requiring more frequent attention. Large households, shared living spaces, or families with frequent visitors tend to put more demand on central heaters, making it wise to opt for periodic checkups to ensure year-round dependability and comfort. Routine heater maintenance in Polk County helps homeowners avoid surprise breakdowns and minimize the risk of costly repairs.

Commercial buildings and rental properties in downtown Lakeland or around Florida Southern College need reliable heating to keep tenants, customers, and employees comfortable. Higher occupancy, increased operational hours, and compliance with Polk County codes mean a robust maintenance schedule is a smart investment for long-term efficiency and property value. Watts Air Conditioning, Plumbing, & Electrical can customize your service plan based on your property profile to fit both budget and usage.

When Is the Best Time to Schedule Heating Maintenance in Florida? 

For optimal results, we recommend scheduling heater maintenance in Lakeland and Polk County during the early fall, before temperatures drop and peak demand starts. That way, our technicians can address any hidden issues, perform minor repairs, and prepare your system to run efficiently throughout the coldest months.   

Booking early not only gives you priority on our schedule but also guarantees your heater is ready before unpredictable cold snaps or busy winter weekends. In Lakeland, rapid temperature shifts during the winter mean unscheduled service calls can become more frequent. Don’t wait for the first chilly night—proactive maintenance is your best prevention against emergency breakdowns and inconvenient wait times when HVAC service demand spikes.

Polk County’s climate is notoriously unpredictable. Even if you’ve missed the recommended fall maintenance window, it’s never too late to have our team inspect your system for issues. Consistent, timely tune-ups from Watts Air Conditioning, Plumbing, & Electrical keep your equipment running longer, lower utility costs, and help you avoid stress year after year—no matter what the weather brings.

I’ve had WATTS as my AC contractor for about 6 years now and am very pleased with their overall performance and service. The office even called me to let me know the service technicians were running a bit late. I use Watts because they dependable and because they’re local in Polk County. In Florida, the last thing you want is for your AC to quit on you. With Watts, I never need to wonder if my unit is running efficiently or if they can respond if a problem comes up. Highly recommended.

So Rick came in and was very determined to get and approval on the spot. I explained that I was getting mor estimates for the job and he asked what price I would be comfortable with and Voila with a few short minutes in his truck he was able to bring me back a price that was in my range, on the high end but none the less. As i received my other estimates Rick followed up and ultimately I agreed to the job and scheduled installation. The morning of the install I received a phone call stating the unit they picked up was damaged and they would reschedule. After a few days with no follow up (defiantly not Ricks style) I assumed that they just didn't need the job. Then, randomly on a Friday, get a phone call from Xavier and they are in my driveway ready to do the install. Needless to say I was not prepared. While I was getting my life together with my dogs Lee go the install ready and install began. About 5 hours later with a little concrete dust in the air and all over everything, Scott the electrician comes in to finish the job. The electrical run looks great thanks to Lee but It's getting late and Scott has to run leaving Xavier & Lee to do the setup. The unit I purchased is WiFi enabled and I was hoping to connect it to Alexa. Xavier are A/C installers not Tech advisors so they referred me back to Scott and assured me that he would be out tomorrow to get the unit WiFi enabled. They asked for a google review upon payment and I told them it would depend on them getting the tech part of it done so here it is. Lee & Xavier have done their job well and are on to the next. I was so happy to have A/C Friday came and went without me even thinking about it, I assumed since it was the weekend I would hear from Scott Monday....... So Monday about 2 PM, after not hearing from Scott, I reached out to Lee to tell him I was fixing to leave my review and immediately Scott called me and stated he was doing research (like I didn't watch the same Youtube videos) and he would be back in touch (again). Here it is Wednesday not quite a week later and still not WiFi enabled. This is your typical take the money and run scenario. What happened to service after the sale? I even signed off on your contract stating you could come remove all the equipment if I didn't pay... but I paid anyway even though the service wasn't complete. Hopefully I'll never need the 10 year parts and compressor warranty, but as of now I still have a tech issue with no support. 9/4/25 ****update**** So it’s been a month at least and until today I have had no response. So i immediately called within 5 minutes of getting the response. The secretary stated that he was in a meeting and would call me back. Still dealing with my tech issue. I will update you as they update me. This is day one of them trying to make it right after 30 days… **Update 9/8/25** so Eddie did get Scot back over here and we both decided we all could have been better. He diagnose the new unit along with running technical support and decided it was a module that had gone bad. In the meantime I had been playing with the app and soon as he ordered the part and left the app. Ask me if I wanted to accept an invitation from the air conditioner itself. Voilà. Problem solved. The lesson learned here is taking the time to address all aspects of expectations saves bad reviews and wasted time and money on a second trip. The issue is now resolved

Just purchased the home and AC stopped blowing cold air. I assumed it was the capacitor. Called Watts and they were out a few hours later that day. The tech diagnosed it as the capacitor and walked me through what was wrong with it. He also noted that the pressure was high on the liquid side. He pulled all the panels and gave the coils a good cleaning. Runs great now. Very informative and answered all my questions along the way. Would highly recommend Watts to anyone.
