Frequently Asked Questions

When should I replace my AC instead of repairing it?
The general rule is the '5,000 rule' — multiply the age of your system by the repair cost. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually the better investment. Systems over 10–12 years old in Florida are prime candidates for replacement.
How long does AC replacement take?
Most residential AC replacements can be completed in 4–8 hours. We'll have your new system running the same day in most cases.
What SEER rating should I choose?
In Florida, we recommend at least SEER 16 for good efficiency. SEER 18+ systems offer significant energy savings and may qualify for utility rebates. We'll help you find the right balance of upfront cost and long-term savings.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — we offer flexible financing options for qualified customers. Ask us about 0% interest financing on qualifying new system installations.
