AC Installation in Orlando, FL
A new AC is a major decision in a climate that runs it nearly year-round. We size the system to your actual Orlando home and install it to handle our heat and humidity, not just to swap boxes.
Correct sizing is everything in Central Florida, and it is where humidity control lives or dies. An oversized unit satisfies the thermostat fast, shuts off before it has run long enough to wring moisture out of the air, and leaves your home cold and clammy with that sticky indoor feel. An undersized one runs nonstop and still loses ground in July. We run a proper load calculation on your square footage, insulation, windows, sun exposure, and ductwork rather than just matching whatever tonnage was there before.
We walk you through the choices that actually move the needle here: single-stage versus two-stage or variable-speed cooling, the SEER2 efficiency rating, and whether a variable-speed blower is worth it for the dehumidification you want in this climate. Variable-speed equipment runs longer at lower output, which is exactly what pulls Florida humidity down and keeps the house comfortable at a higher thermostat setting.
The installation itself is where the difference shows up years later. We set the condenser on a level pad, pull a deep vacuum on the line set to remove moisture and non-condensables, weigh in the refrigerant charge, and verify airflow and temperature split before we call it finished. Those steps are what separate a system that dehumidifies and holds temperature from a brand-new unit that never quite feels right.
We also handle the parts people forget, and in Florida the condensate side is not optional. A properly pitched drain line, a float safety switch, and a clean secondary pan are what keep an attic or closet air handler from soaking your ceiling during a humid stretch. Add a fresh disconnect and pad where needed and tight duct connections that do not dump your cold air into a hot attic, and the new system runs quieter, drier, and steadier.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know what size AC my house needs?
We run a load calculation that accounts for your square footage, insulation, windows, ceiling height, sun exposure, and ductwork. Bigger is not better in Orlando, an oversized unit short-cycles and leaves your home humid, so we size it to how your home actually gains heat and moisture.
What SEER2 rating should I choose?
It is a trade-off between upfront cost and monthly savings. Because our cooling season runs almost the whole year, a higher-efficiency system pays back faster here than it would in a cooler climate. We show you the options side by side and let you pick.
Will a new system fix my humidity problem?
Often, yes, if humidity was the complaint. A right-sized system, especially a variable-speed unit that runs longer cycles, pulls far more moisture out of the air than an oversized one that blasts cold and shuts off. Proper sizing and airflow are the key to a dry, comfortable home in Florida.
How long does an installation take?
A straightforward changeout is usually a single day. If we are also correcting ductwork, adding a return, or relocating the air handler, it can run longer, and we will tell you what to expect before we start.
