Highland City is a small, unincorporated community with roots in the area’s phosphate mining history, and many homes here sit on land that has been reclaimed and repurposed over the decades. That history shapes everything from soil composition to how properties were originally developed.
Egberts Electric and Air Conditioning understands the character of Highland City and works within the realities of its older, rural feeling neighborhoods.
A number of Highland City homes have been standing for several decades, and their HVAC systems often reflect a patchwork of updates and repairs made over the years by different hands. Sorting out what is original and what has been modified takes an experienced eye.
Our technicians take the time to understand a system’s full history before recommending a fix, so we are solving the actual problem rather than guessing.
Properties in Highland City tend to have more land and less consistent soil conditions than a typical subdivision lot, a legacy of the area’s mining history. That can affect drainage around outdoor equipment and how well a unit’s foundation holds up over time.
We account for those site specific conditions when planning an installation, rather than assuming every lot behaves the same way.
Soil conditions on reclaimed land can shift slightly over time, which sometimes affects the stability of an outdoor unit’s pad or foundation. It is a subtle issue that often goes unnoticed until a system starts making unusual noises or running unevenly.
Routine visits give us a chance to check pad stability along with the usual maintenance items, catching a settling issue before it becomes a bigger repair.
Patricia had lived in her Highland City home for decades and started noticing a rattling sound from her outdoor unit that had not been there before. Our technician discovered the pad beneath the unit had shifted slightly due to ground settling, throwing the whole unit slightly off level.
Once the pad was releveled and the unit resecured, the rattling noise disappeared completely.
