Here's what we were working with - an older package unit that had clearly seen better days. Heavily oxidized casing, clogged coil fins, and a system that was fighting hard just to keep up. For a Florida home, that's not a situation you want to let drag on.
We pulled the old unit out and set a new 3.5-ton Goodman package system in its place. Package units are a common choice for homes like this one - everything is self-contained in a single outdoor cabinet, which keeps the install clean and keeps long-term maintenance straightforward.
Goodman builds reliable equipment, and the 3.5-ton size is well-suited for keeping a space like this comfortable without overworking the system. Proper sizing matters more than most people realize. Too small and it runs constantly. Too large and it short-cycles, which wears components down faster and leaves the air feeling humid.
The new unit sits level on the pad with clean line connections and a properly routed condensate drain. No shortcuts. The customer walks away with a system they can actually count on instead of one they're crossing their fingers on every morning.
Fall in Florida is a bit of a mixed bag - some cooler mornings, but plenty of hot afternoons still in the mix. It's actually a solid time to deal with an aging system before the next stretch of heat arrives and puts everything to the test again.
