A/C Installation & Mini-Splits in Florida

In Florida the A/C isn't comfort equipment. It's the system the whole home depends on, running ten months a year against heat and humidity. We install central systems and mini-splits sized for that load, permitted and inspected.

A/C systems

Systems we install

A load calculation measures how much cooling your home actually needs. We match each of the three configurations to that number, not to the tonnage that was there before.

  • A grey outdoor air conditioning condenser on a concrete pad beside a Florida home. The electrical disconnect and insulated refrigerant lines run into the wall.

    Central A/C (3 to 5 ton)

    The standard for single-family homes, sized in half-ton increments to the home's load calculation.

  • A white wall-mounted mini-split head indoors, its display reading 74 degrees. The line-set cover runs down the wall beside it.

    Multi-zone mini-splits

    Ductless heads in the rooms that need them, each zone controlled independently. Made for additions, garages, casitas, and homes without duct space.

  • An indoor mechanical room with a ducted air handler and insulated trunk and branch ducts overhead. A thermostat sits on the block wall.

    Mini-split to central conversion

    Consolidates a patchwork of wall units into one ducted system with even temperatures and a single thermostat.

Why a bigger unit is not the answer

Your air conditioner runs most of the year here. It does more than cool: it pulls humidity out of the air. It also takes a big share of your power bill.

Why it matters

Benefits of getting a new A/C system

Every Air Conditioning (HVAC) job we take is permitted and built to Florida code.

Our process, step by step

  1. Free in-home consultation

    We measure the home, inspect the existing equipment, ducts, and electrical, and run the load calculation. 30-45 minutes, no obligation.

  2. Itemized quote

    Within 3 business days: equipment with model numbers, electrical and line-set work, permit, and startup, each listed.

  3. Permit application

    We pull the mechanical permit as the licensed contractor of record.

  4. Installation

    Most changeouts are completed in a day. Old equipment out, new system set, condenser tied down to code, refrigerant charged and verified.

  5. Startup, inspection, and registration

    We commission the system, verify temperatures and charge, pass county inspection, and register your manufacturer warranty.

Licensed, insured, and permitted in every county we serve.

Frequently asked questions

What size A/C does my home need?

Whatever the load calculation says, not what the old label says. Square footage is a starting point, but windows, insulation, and ceiling height move the answer by a ton or more. Oversizing is the most common and most damaging mistake in our climate because it leaves humidity behind.

How long does a changeout take?

Plan on one day on site for a like-for-like central changeout. Conversions from mini-splits to central take longer because of the duct work involved. We give you the schedule with the quote.

Mini-splits or central, which is better?

Central wins for whole-home comfort and resale in a typical single-family home. Mini-splits win for additions, garages, and zoning specific rooms. The conversion path exists for homes that outgrew a wall-unit patchwork. We will recommend based on the home, not the margin.

Does a new A/C need a permit in Florida?

Yes. Every county we serve requires a mechanical permit and inspection for an A/C changeout. They also require a hurricane-rated tie-down of the condenser. Unpermitted changeouts surface at sale time and can void insurance claims.

Will a new system actually lower my electric bill?

If the old one was 10+ years old, meaningfully. Modern equipment moves far more cooling per watt. The gains compound when the ducts are sealed and the attic is insulated. That is why we look at the whole system, not the box outside alone.

My A/C is short-cycling and the home feels damp. Why?

Classic oversizing, sometimes made worse by leaking ducts: the thermostat hits its number before the system has dehumidified. The fix is right-sizing at replacement time, one of several reasons we insist on the load calculation.
