Installation
A new system, for a home or a business.
We install air conditioning in homes and businesses across South Florida, whether it replaces a tired system or cools a space for the first time. The estimate starts with the property and how it is used, then the equipment.
10-year parts warranty on new installations
How an installation comes together
Why a new, well-matched system is worth it
Steadier comfort
A system sized for the home or the space cools the rooms more evenly, without the hot corners and long cycles of a unit that no longer keeps up.
More reasonable electricity use
A new, correctly matched system can use electricity more reasonably than one that is failing or was never the right size for the building.
Fewer surprises in the heat
Replacing a worn-out unit on your schedule is easier than losing it in the middle of a South Florida summer.
Better humidity control
Air conditioning also pulls moisture out of the air. A system that runs properly helps the home feel drier and more comfortable, not just cooler.
Homes
A house or a condominium that needs cooling installed, or an old system replaced. Tell us how the home is used and what is there now, if you know.
Depending on the home and the budget, the estimate can include equipment from Trane, American Standard, Rheem, Lennox, Goodman, Carrier, York, or Bryant.
Businesses
An office, a shop, or another occupied commercial space that needs air conditioning installed or replaced. Say how the space is used during the day.
If the building has a larger or more specialized system, describe it and we will tell you plainly whether it is a fit.
Topics an installation estimate should cover
- Replacement, or a space that has no system yet
- Home or business, and how the rooms are used
- What equipment is there now, if you know it
- Access for the work, including the electrical panel if you know where it is
- Any local permit the job may require
Common questions
What is SEER?
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It compares how much cooling an air conditioner delivers over a typical cooling season with the electricity it uses: the higher the rating, the more efficient the system. Newer equipment is rated under an updated version of the standard, SEER2, which tests in conditions closer to real use. The right rating for a replacement depends on the space, how much the system runs, and the budget, and the estimate covers it.
When is the right time to replace an air conditioning system?
There is no single age, but replacement is worth considering when several of these add up:
- The system is more than about 10 years old and needs repairs more often.
- A major repair would cost a large part of what a new system costs.
- Some rooms never get comfortable, or the space stays humid.
- Electric bills keep rising without a change in how you use the system.
- It uses an older refrigerant that has been phased out, which makes repairs harder.
How long does an air conditioner last?
It depends on the equipment, how it was installed, how hard it works, and how well it is maintained. As general guidance, many central systems last around 10 to 15 years. In South Florida, where systems run most of the year and salt air can wear outdoor units faster, regular maintenance makes a real difference.
