AC Replacement across Greater Orlando
Older homes in Winter Park, Sanford and Orlando's historic neighborhoods may have limited duct space, while newer homes in areas like Lake Nona or Horizon West mainly need straightforward changeouts.
Signs it may be time to replace
- Frequent repairs or rising repair costs
- The system is older and losing efficiency
- Uneven cooling or high indoor humidity
- Higher electric bills without a clear cause
- Your system uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced or imported in the U.S.
What a thorough quote should include
- A load calculation (often called Manual J) to size the system
- Equipment brand, model numbers and efficiency ratings (SEER2)
- An evaluation of ductwork condition and airflow
- Permit, inspection and removal of old equipment
- Warranty terms for both equipment and labor
Bigger is not always better. An oversized system can cycle on and off quickly and leave the home feeling clammy, while an undersized one may run constantly. Ask how the contractor determined the size they recommend.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Many straightforward replacements take about a day, but duct work, electrical updates or permit scheduling can extend the timeline. Ask your contractor for an estimate.
AC replacements commonly require a permit. Your contractor typically pulls it; confirm with your city or county building department.
Do your homework
How to Check Your Contractor
Orlando Home Pros connects homeowners with independent providers. We do not perform the work or screen providers for you, so a few minutes of research before hiring is worth it.
Look up the state license
Search the business or license number on the Florida DBPR site at myfloridalicense.com and make sure the status is current. Your city or county may have its own requirements too.
Request proof of insurance
Ask for a certificate of insurance showing general liability coverage and workers' compensation (or a valid exemption), and check the dates.
Research reputation
Review the company's Better Business Bureau profile and read reviews across more than one independent website. Ask for a few recent local references.
Put it in writing
Collect written estimates and sign a written contract that spells out the scope, materials, total price, schedule and any warranty.
Keep deposits reasonable
Be cautious about paying a large amount before work begins. Link payments to finished milestones and keep receipts.
Confirm permits
Check with Orange, Seminole or Osceola County, or your city's building department, whether a permit is required, and make sure inspections are passed.
