AC & Furnace Repair and Service in Inverness, FL
A good air conditioning and heating company can be one of a Florida homeowner’s best friends. When people in Florida say “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity,” they mean it. Even though the high temperatures may seem bearable, the humidity further reduces comfort and creates the risk of mold. In addition to cooling, air conditioners dehumidify the air as they run and protect your home and furniture.
AC & Furnace repairs can be a source of a lot of stress. When an air conditioner or furnace goes out, the inside temperature may rise by 20 degrees. If this happens, you’ll be happy to know that experienced technicians such as those at Senica Air Conditioning, Inc. are standing by for emergency repairs. Gives us a call and we’ll have someone out as soon as possible.
History
Inverness is a relatively new city and wasn’t incorporated until 1917. Settlers first arrived in 1868 after the Civil War. The city’s early growth was led by Alf Tompkins, who established mail service, had his brother build a general store, and laid out plans for the city.
Because of his contributions, the city initially bore the name Tompkinsville. When Tompkins sold his property, the name was changed to Inverness at the suggestion of a Scotsman who thought the area looked like Inverness, Scotland.
Inverness has remained a small town throughout its history and only has a small central business district. Significant buildings from its early history are marked by the city’s Historic Plaque Program.
Things to Do
The Walk of History is a self-guided tour created by the city. It goes through downtown Inverness and has stops at each of the locations in the Historic Plaque Program.

Today, it is a state park with nature trails, fishing, canoe rentals, and swimming.
