A new AC system is one of the biggest purchases most Florida homeowners make. Tell us about your home and current system and we'll match you with one of the local HVAC providers who serve your ZIP code, so you can compare written proposals.
Repairs are getting frequent or the system is well into its second decade
Rooms that never cool evenly, or humidity that stays high
Your system uses R-22 refrigerant
Power bills climbing without a change in how you use the house
What affects the scope and price
Correct sizing. Ask for a load calculation (Manual J) rather than matching the old tonnage
Efficiency rating (SEER2) and whether you choose a single-stage, two-stage or variable-speed system
Whether ductwork needs repair, sealing or replacement
Air handler location, electrical updates, permits and inspections
Warranty terms for parts and labor, and registration requirements
Questions to ask before you hire
Did you do a load calculation, and can I see it?
What are the exact model numbers for the outdoor unit, coil and air handler?
Who pulls the permit and schedules the inspection?
What does the labor warranty cover, and for how long?
Florida considerations
Federal efficiency minimums for the Southeast changed in 2023, and refrigerants are moving to newer types. Ask each contractor which refrigerant the system uses.
In Florida's humidity, dehumidification matters as much as cooling. Ask how the system you're quoted handles it.
Frequently asked questions
How many quotes should I get?
Many homeowners compare two or three. We match each request with one local provider who covers your ZIP code, so you aren't flooded with calls. If they can't take it, we move it to the next provider.
Can I just replace the outdoor unit?
Mismatched indoor and outdoor equipment can hurt efficiency and warranties. Ask each contractor to explain what they recommend and why.
Do you tell me what it should cost?
No. Prices depend on your home and the equipment. Our Compare My Quotes tool helps you line up proposals side by side.
