    Signs Your Heating System Needs Attention

    Your heat pump runs constantly but your home still feels cold — this often signals low refrigerant, a failing compressor, or a reversing valve issue that needs professional diagnosis.

    Strange smells when the heat kicks on, especially a burning or musty odor. This can indicate dust buildup on heat strips, mold in the ductwork, or an electrical problem that shouldn't be ignored.

    Your energy bills spike during cooler months without a clear explanation. An inefficient or failing heating system works harder and longer, driving up costs.

    The system won't start or cycles on and off rapidly. Short cycling puts excessive wear on components and usually points to a thermostat issue, refrigerant problem, or electrical fault.

    Heating Considerations for Southwest Florida

    Southwest Florida's winters are mild compared to the rest of the country, but cold snaps in the 30s and 40s can catch homeowners off guard — especially if your heating system hasn't been used in months. Pre-season tune-ups prevent breakdowns when you need heat most.

    Heat pumps are the dominant heating solution in our area because they're efficient in mild climates and double as air conditioners. But they require different maintenance than traditional furnaces, and many HVAC companies in Florida don't specialize in heat pump service. AC Assurance does.

    Dual-fuel systems — which pair a heat pump with a gas furnace backup — are increasingly popular in Fort Myers and Cape Coral for homeowners who want efficiency most of the time and reliable backup during the coldest nights. We install and service both components.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A heat pump moves heat rather than generating it, making it extremely efficient in mild climates like Southwest Florida. It also works as your air conditioner in reverse. A furnace burns fuel to create heat and is typically used as a backup in dual-fuel systems. For most Fort Myers and Naples homes, a heat pump is the most cost-effective primary heating solution.

    We recommend a heating system tune-up once per year, ideally in the fall before cooler weather arrives. Since your heat pump also serves as your AC, it gets year-round use — which makes annual heating-specific maintenance even more important to catch issues before the winter season.

    First, check your thermostat settings and make sure it's set to 'heat' mode. Check your air filter — a clogged filter can cause the system to shut down. If it still won't run, call AC Assurance. We provide prompt service throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and surrounding areas so you're not left in the cold.

    Heating repair costs vary depending on the issue. Simple fixes like a thermostat replacement or capacitor swap may run $150–$400. More complex repairs like a compressor or reversing valve replacement can range from $800–$2,500. AC Assurance always provides an upfront quote before starting work.

    For many homeowners in the Fort Myers and Cape Coral area, yes. A dual-fuel system uses your efficient heat pump for most heating needs but automatically switches to a gas furnace during the coldest temperatures for faster, more powerful heat. It's the best of both worlds for comfort and efficiency.
