Altamonte is condo and townhome country, with thousands of air handlers in closets and package units on roofs, plus 1980s single-family neighborhoods around Cranes Roost. HOA rules and tight mechanical spaces make experienced installers worth their price here.
Condensate problems are the signature call — closet air handlers over living space make a clogged drain line an emergency.
Everything is quoted on site, but for planning: a diagnostic visit typically runs $75 to $130 (often credited toward the repair), common repairs like capacitors, contactors and fan motors land between $150 and $650, refrigerant leak repairs range from a couple hundred dollars to $1,500 depending on where the leak hides, and a full system replacement in central Florida usually runs $5,500 to $12,000 for a standard 3-ton heat pump or straight-cool system. Tune-ups run $70 to $150 and pay for themselves in August.
A full system changeout in Florida requires a mechanical permit and a licensed contractor — every listing on this page carries a state CAC license number you can verify at myfloridalicense.com. If a low replacement bid seems too easy, ask who is pulling the permit.
Ten to fifteen years is the honest range here — Florida systems run two to three times the annual hours of a northern unit. If yours is past twelve and facing a compressor or coil repair, get a replacement quote alongside the repair quote before deciding.
Usually low refrigerant or restricted airflow (a clogged filter or a failing blower). Turn the system off and the fan on so the ice melts, then have a tech find the cause — running it frozen can kill the compressor, and that is the most expensive part in the machine.
Not for a home: Class B covers systems up to 25 tons and residential equipment is a fraction of that. What matters is that the license is real and current — every contractor listed here shows a state CAC number from Florida's license rolls.
