If your unit is 10–15+ years old, needs frequent repairs, uses outdated refrigerant, or can’t keep up with heat and humidity, replacement typically saves more over time than continued repairs. We’ll assess your system and give you an honest recommendation.

We perform a Manual J–style load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation, windows, orientation, and Florida’s humidity to right-size your system for comfort and efficiency.

Most change-outs are completed in one day, including removal, set-up, commissioning, and a full homeowner walk-through.

Incentives vary by utility and equipment efficiency. We’ll check current programs during your proposal and include any eligible rebates or federal credits in your paperwork.

Filter changes on schedule and twice-yearly tune-ups keep your system efficient and reliable. Air Care+ makes this easy with priority scheduling and documented 21-point checks.

Surges and lightning can stress components. We recommend proper grounding and surge protection, and we verify electrical and condensate safeguards during installation.

Yes. We pull the required mechanical/electrical permits for your jurisdiction and coordinate final inspections with the county or city. Your proposal outlines fees and timelines up front, and our team meets code requirements at install so inspections pass cleanly.

Code-minimum SEER2 systems meet the standard, but many Florida homes benefit from two-stage or variable-speed systems that improve dehumidification and comfort while lowering energy use. We’ll size the system correctly and present “good/better/best” options so you can balance upfront cost and long-term savings.

Not always—but we inspect ducts for leaks, sizing, and insulation. Sealing or resizing problem runs often boosts airflow, reduces hot rooms, and protects your new system’s efficiency. If your ducts are in good shape, we’ll leave them; if not, we’ll quote targeted fixes or replacement.

Many Florida homeowners choose high-efficiency heat pumps for efficient cooling and affordable heating on cool nights (often paired with electric heat strips). Straight cool with a separate heater is also available. We’ll recommend what fits your home, utility rates, and comfort goals.
