AfterHVAC Company in Tavares, FL
Most homeowners in Tavares call us when their AC can’t keep up with the humidity, their furnace won’t light on a January morning, or they’re ready to replace a system that’s been fighting Lake County moisture for fifteen years. Coldharbour Heating & Air handles all three jobs here, and we’ve learned that Tavares work is different from inland Central Florida because of the water. Call (817) 402-2972 anytime, day or night, and a live person will pick up.
Why Tavares Homes Are Different
Tavares sits on Lake Dora within the Harris Chain of Lakes, and that proximity creates a humid microclimate that inland cities like Clermont simply don’t experience. Relative humidity stays elevated year-round here, which means air conditioners in Tavares run from March through October primarily to pull moisture from the air, not just to drop the temperature. The constant moisture accelerates corrosion on outdoor condensing units, especially on lakeside lots along Lake Dora and Lake Idamor, where we’ve seen fin damage cut efficiency in half within two to three seasons.
The housing stock adds another layer. Tavares has a notable mix of older concrete-block and frame homes from the 1950s through the 1980s, many of them lakefront, with original ductwork routed through hot, humid attics. There’s also a high proportion of manufactured and mobile homes throughout Lake County that use package units or belly-duct configurations, requiring different service approaches than site-built homes. We account for both when we dispatch a technician.
Our Main Tavares Services
These are the three jobs Tavares homeowners call us about most often. Each has its own page with detailed pricing, local conditions, and what to expect.
AC Repair in Tavares
AC repair in Tavares usually involves refrigerant leaks, failed capacitors, or clogged condensate drains, with that last one driven by the constant humidity and algae growth in drain lines. We also see lightning surge damage to outdoor units after summer afternoon thunderstorms roll across the Harris Chain of Lakes. Our technicians carry capacitors, contactors, and refrigerant on every truck, and most repairs are finished same day. AC Repair in Tavares
Furnace Repair in Tavares
Furnace repair here is typically gas or electric heating for the cooler months from November through February, with igniter failures and limit switch trips being the most common calls. Older lakefront homes often have furnaces in humid crawl spaces or attics, which shortens component life compared to drier installations. We test heat exchangers for cracks on every gas furnace call, safety first, and we stock igniters and flame sensors for Goodman and Rheem units common in the area. Furnace Repair in Tavares
AC Installation in Tavares
New AC installation in Tavares requires sizing for dehumidification load, not just cooling tonnage, because an undersized system will run constantly without ever dropping the moisture level low enough for comfort. For lakeside homes, we specify phenolic-coated or copper-fin coils to resist corrosion from the onshore moisture. Every installation includes a written fixed price, a scheduled install date, and rebate paperwork handled for you. AC Installation in Tavares

What Tavares Customers Say
"The repair was done well and quickly. Scheduling over the phone was a little clunky and I got transferred twice, but the tech himself was great and on time."
- Brett Haygood"Furnace was short cycling all winter. They diagnosed a bad sensor instead of condemning the whole unit like I feared. Cheap fix, honest call."
- Russ Tiedemann"Thermostat and a weak blower. Fixed both in one visit, explained the guarantee, and didn't leave a mess. I've already recommended them to my neighbor."
