- Mauricio LandazabalSouthwest Florida“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.”
- Craig JohnstonSouthwest Florida“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.”

New AC estimator questions
New AC cost questions for Southwest Florida
Straight answers for planning a replacement before the in-home sizing and installation review.
Still unsure? Call usHow much does a new AC cost in Southwest Florida?
For planning, many standard residential change-outs in this estimator begin around $6,000 for 1.5- to 3-ton systems and around $8,000 for 4- to 5-ton systems. The displayed range changes with cooled square footage and property type. Final pricing depends on verified capacity, equipment efficiency, ductwork, electrical needs, access and site conditions.
How does the new AC cost estimator work?
Choose the cooled square footage and property type to see a planning range, suggested system tonnage, BTU capacity and an approximate monthly financing illustration. The result helps with budgeting before an in-home load and installation review.
What is normally included in the installed planning range?
The estimator assumes a standard residential system change-out with old-equipment removal, the local permit and final inspection, and a hurricane-rated equipment pad. Duct, electrical, structural, drainage or unusual access work can change the final proposal.
Why should I use the Cape Coral or Fort Myers estimator?
The city pages use the same pricing tool but add local installation guidance, service links and FAQs for Cape Coral or Fort Myers. They are useful when you want location-specific planning information after reviewing the regional estimate.
Can square footage determine the exact AC size?
No. Square footage is a useful starting point, but windows, insulation, ceiling height, sun exposure, occupancy, air leakage and duct condition affect the cooling load. Final equipment selection should follow a professional load calculation.
