AC Replacement & Installation in Palm Beach County

Bigger is not better. An oversized system cools the air so quickly that it shuts off before it has removed the moisture, which leaves your home cold and clammy. An undersized system runs constantly and never catches up. The right size comes from a proper load calculation, often called a Manual J, that accounts for your home’s insulation, windows, sun exposure, ceiling height and duct layout. A guess based on square footage is not good enough, and we do not use one.

We give you clear choices instead of a single take-it-or-leave-it number:

• Good: a reliable system that meets your needs and your budget.
• Better: higher efficiency and quieter operation.
• Best: variable-speed equipment for the most even temperatures and the best humidity control.

Variable-speed systems matter more in Palm Beach County than almost anywhere, because they run longer at lower speeds and pull far more moisture out of the air. We will tell you honestly whether that upgrade is worth it for your home.

• In-home evaluation and load calculation
• Written good, better and best options
• Permit handling
• Professional installation, startup and testing
• Thermostat setup and a walk-through of your new system
• Removal and disposal of old equipment
• Warranty registration
• Cleanup of the work area

Ask us for the labor and equipment warranty terms in writing before you decide.

No honest contractor can give you a price without seeing your home. These are the things that move it:

• The size and type of system your home needs
• The efficiency level and features you choose
• The condition of your ductwork, which may need repair or replacement
• Where the equipment is installed, such as an attic, closet, garage or rooftop
• Electrical, drain and permit requirements
• Condo or HOA requirements, such as crane access or approved vendors

Higher-efficiency systems can lower your cooling costs, and the savings are larger here because our systems run so many hours. Manufacturer rebates, utility programs and tax incentives sometimes apply. They change often, so we confirm what is available when we quote your job.

Many associations require approval before an AC is replaced. We can provide the specifications, photos and insurance certificates your board asks for, and we will follow rules on work hours, elevators and equipment placement. See our page for condos, HOAs and property managers.

1. Are you licensed in Florida? (You can look up any license for free on the state DBPR website.)
2. Are you insured, and can I see the certificate?
3. Will you pull the permit?
4. Will you perform a load calculation?
5. What does the warranty cover, in writing?

We are happy to answer all five, and we encourage you to ask them of everyone who quotes your job.

Payment options may be available to qualified buyers. See our financing page for details.
