What sets the price

System size (tonnage)

We size the system from a load calculation for your house, not from the label on the old unit. A bigger system costs more. In Jacksonville, a system that is too big also leaves the house clammy, because it shuts off before it has pulled the moisture out of the air.

Efficiency (SEER2)

Efficiency is rated in SEER2. A higher rating costs more up front and uses less electricity to run. Ask us to price more than one level so you can compare.

Ductwork condition

New equipment on leaking or undersized ducts will not cool the house the way it should. If your ducts need repair or replacement, that is part of the job, and we show you what we find before it goes into the price.

Equipment

We install Carrier and Bryant systems. The model line and its features change the price.

Permits

Replacing a central AC system in Florida requires a permit and an inspection. They are part of the cost of the job.

Add-ons

Options such as UV lights add to the price. They are optional, and we will tell you if one is not worth it for your system.

What is included

• A free in-home install estimate. We look at the house, the ducts and the old system.
• One price for the whole job, before anything is ordered.
• A Carrier or Bryant system, sized for your house.
• A 10-year parts warranty on every system.
• Labor coverage of up to 10 years, available as an option.
• Financing, if you want it. Ask us when we quote the job.

Repair or replace?

If your system still runs, a repair may cost less. A repair visit is a $199 service call, and the $199 goes toward the repair. The install estimate is free.

If the repair is a real share of the price of a new system, or the system is 12 to 15 years old and failing more often, we give you both numbers and you decide. See AC repair in Jacksonville and AC installation and replacement.
