Signs it is time
What changes after ten Florida summers
None of these means you must replace today. Together they mean it is time to know the number and plan it instead of being forced into it in August.
The bill keeps climbing
A system that once ran at 14 SEER can lose a third of its efficiency with tired coils and low charge. Today installed systems start at 14.3 SEER2 and go up.
It runs all day and the house still feels sticky
Older single-stage systems short-cycle or run nonstop and stop pulling humidity out of the air. Humidity is the comfort problem in Florida.
The last repair cost more than $800
When a single repair reaches half the value of the system, we show you the repair price next to the installed price so you can compare on paper.

No sales visit. A technician, a measurement and a price you can keep.

“AC Professional Cooling and Heating is fantastic they come when you need them always on time and always clean and professional I have a maintenance plan with them im never disappointed”
“Excelente servicio, rapidez para responder y solucionar mi problema del aire acondicionado y y un trato muy formal y amigable, felicito a Jordan por su servicio y el nombre del técnico lo olvidé, pero fue excepcional 5/5. Muchas gracias !”
“Found the people to be very courteous and helpful, especially when we had to change the plans at the last moment. Work was done on time and with no issues. We would use them again.”
“I was quoted to clean the evaporator coil and blower wheel $2450.00. Yes, the unit required some cleaning, but it was nothing unusual and not really dirty. Also, the technician did a sales pitch, trying to sell UV light installation. Rip-off. I asked for a quote with the job itemization in writing and has never received. Unfortunatelly trust in this company was lost forever. Technician did not provide report of his inspection. I gave him $40.00 and he left. Shame.”

Common AC repair questions
Quick answers for homeowners comparing AC repair, tune-up, replacement, and emergency service options.
Still unsure? Call usHow long does an AC last in Southwest Florida?
Most central systems in Lee and Collier counties last 10 to 15 years. Salt air, nine-month cooling seasons and skipped maintenance shorten that; a yearly tune-up and a clean coil extend it.
Is a 10-year-old AC too old to repair?
Not always. If the repair is small and the system has been maintained, repairing can still make sense. The assessment puts the repair price next to the installed replacement price so you can compare on paper.
What does a new AC system cost installed?
Installed systems run from about $6,000 to $17,500 depending on size and efficiency. The price includes permit, stand or pad, haul-away of the old equipment and warranty registration. The exact number is confirmed in writing after the home visit.
Does the assessment cost anything or commit me to anything?
No. The written replacement assessment is free and there is no obligation. If you decide to replace, you get priority scheduling.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. AC Professional handles the financing application for you. Approval and terms depend on the lender, and we show you the options before you decide.
Are the installed prices exact?
The ranges ($6,000–$17,500 by system size) are honest planning figures that include equipment, labor, old-unit removal, permit and inspection, a hurricane-rated pad, and a 10-year warranty. The exact price comes from a free in-home evaluation with a load calculation — in writing, before you decide.
Is the replacement estimate really free?
Yes — the in-home replacement estimate is free with no trip charge. We measure the home and hand you an exact written price with no obligation. You can also see your planning range online first with the 30-second estimator.
How does the Protection Plan work?
For $19.99/mo (Heating & Cooling) or $14.99/mo (Heating), the plan covers most repair bills and unlocks member pricing: $100 diagnostics instead of $129 and tune-ups at $85–$100 instead of $189+. Ask about it on any visit or call to join.
