"Colkitt has provided very professional service and we have always been grateful."
We called late at night after we found a leak coming from our new AC. A technician was sent free of charge. Steven Adcock found the obstruction outside right away and fixed the shut off valve. In addition, Brandy is always pleasant and helpful in scheduling and answering any questions I may have about service or maintenance. Colkitt has provided very professional service and we have always been grateful.- Jennifer K -
"I highly recommend this company. They are fantastic!"
I have had consistently great service with different technicians. Everyone has been professional and prompt. The last two times I had an issue with my a/c (not installed by Colkitt), I had a technician here within 2 hours one time and within 25 minutes the next time. Jerome, Charlton and most recently Steven have been fantastic. Steven ran extensive diagnostics of the system, corrected the problem (different issue than when Jerome came out) and was able to answer all of my questions. I highly recommend this company. They are fantastic!- Page W -

"My only regret is I didn't do it sooner."
Two years ago I decided to replace my aging A/C with a newer more efficient unit. Colkitt provided the equipment and service I wanted in a timely professional manor. I can now say the power savings for my new unit will pay for itself in just 4 years! Amazing! My only regret is I didn't do it sooner.
UPDATE: Recently I had a need for a service call and a technician came out in 24 hours; my issue was resolved. It can't get any better.
UPDATE #2 : Once again I needed a service call and the technician came out - solved my problem in less than a hour. Very polite service tech.- Bill C -
"You are the very best!"
We own Artistic First Florist in Vero beach and have a commercial contract for service with Colkitt, they have always been great. A year ago we had a problem in our home and they came right out and had us running in 3 hours! Last night, Sunday at 3am I discovered in the middle of a hot flash that our air was out!! My husband called the office at 7am, the tech was out by 8:30 and our air was running cold by 9am! I cannot thank Colkitt enough, your service and prices are so fair, no emergency call charge! You are the very best!- Aimee D. -
"Very Professional"
We bought a new AC unit from them last year. It has been nothing but awesome since....we had a small problem and they came and fixed it right away with no charge because the service comes with the unit. Very professional, very affordable, and since we live in Florida and AC is gold here, it's nice to know you have a place you can rely on and they come in a timely fashion and take very good care of you.- Ressa K.
Choosing the Right HVAC System for Your Home
Selecting the right HVAC system is crucial for comfort & energy efficiency. Here are some factors to consider when upgrading or replacing your current system:
- Home Size: The size of your home affects the type & size of HVAC system you’ll need. An appropriately sized system avoids energy waste & optimizes comfort.
- Energy Efficiency: Look for high-efficiency systems with ENERGY STAR ratings, which help lower energy costs.
- Climate Needs: In Florida Ridge, a high-performing air conditioner is essential, but don’t overlook heating options for chilly nights.
- Additional Features: Consider systems with features like variable speed motors, zoned heating & cooling, or smart home compatibility to enhance convenience & control.
Our team is here to guide you through the options to ensure you find the best solution for your unique needs.
Beyond basic features, consider potential rebates & tax incentives for energy-efficient upgrades. These financial benefits make it easier to invest in higher-end systems that offer long-term savings.

How Do You Troubleshoot a Home Air Conditioner?
When your air conditioner stops working, here are some troubleshooting tips you can try:
- Determine if there is a dirty filter present

Frequently Asked Questions
What Types of HVAC Systems Are Best for Florida Ridge's Climate?
Florida Ridge's humid subtropical climate requires HVAC systems that excel in both cooling and humidity control. High-efficiency air conditioners equipped with dehumidifiers are particularly beneficial. Variable speed air conditioning systems offer not only precise temperature control but also improve dehumidification, ensuring that indoor air remains comfortable during the long, hot summers. Heat pump systems are also a top choice, as they provide both cooling and heating capabilities, which are ideal for the mild winter months. Our team can help you assess the best options tailored to your home's specific needs.
How Can I Improve My HVAC System's Energy Efficiency?
Improving energy efficiency in your HVAC system starts with regular maintenance, including cleaning or replacing air filters, inspecting ductwork, and ensuring refrigerant levels are optimal. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can further enhance efficiency by allowing for more precise control over indoor temperatures, thus reducing energy usage during peak times. Sealing and insulating ductwork also prevent air loss, ensuring that cooled, or heated air reaches its intended destination without wastage. By implementing these strategies, you can reduce energy costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.
What Should I Do If My HVAC System Breaks Down Suddenly?
In the event of an unexpected HVAC system failure, the first step is to verify simple issues, such as tripped circuit breakers or incorrect thermostat settings. If these are not the causes, it's advisable to contact Colkitt Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning immediately. Our team provides 24/7 emergency services to diagnose and resolve system failures promptly.
