Another day, another heat advisory for Flagler County. And another day where air conditioner repair techs are working overtime.

It's around one in the afternoon and Mark Eidman has to go to one of the last places he'd rather be: a second-story attic.

Eidman's been an a/c tech for about 12 years with Arctic Breeze and he knows this time of the year in Florida is when he earns his paycheck.

The temperature up in that attic?

A balmy 115 degrees.

But for homeowner Ruth Sheridan, the air is working fine.

It's just the humidity is giving her a mold problem, which Eidman is working to help solve.

This is just one stop on another busy day.

Eidman went through his schedule. “Yesterday, I worked until about nine at night," Eidman said. "Pretty much wake up, work sun-up to sundown, go home, sleep, start all over again.”

While they are being inundated by these service calls, most of them are handled relatively quickly. But if you need a complete system re-installed, you'll be waiting through the hottest days of the summer.

That's what Carl Byrd is dealing.

“Fairly miserable, fairly miserable. We'll survive," Byrd said. "I mean, there's a lot of people that have lots more problems than we do, we understand that.”

Eidman's got temporary relief though, a portable unit to help Byrd and his out-of-town guests get through the weekend.

Through it all though, Byrd's kept his cool and kept to a game plan. “What you have to do is keep all the fans going...keep a good look on life.”

And have a nearby pool where you can retreat during the hottest part of the day.

To avoid having your air conditioning unit go out on you when you need it most, Eidman tells us it's always good to get an annual check-up by a licensed technician and make sure your filters are cleaned on a regular basis.
