Broward County AC replacement from a Florida-licensed company. Start online — photos, home details, Manual J sizing — then a licensed crew installs. No parking-lot quotes, no two-hour pitches.
NewHVACDeals is a Florida-licensed AC replacement company operating across Broward County — including Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, and every municipality in between. We replace air conditioning systems through an online intake process: homeowners submit photos and home details, a Manual J load calculation sizes the system, and a DBPR-licensed crew handles the installation. Six written guarantees back every job. No repair work — replacement only.
Broward County generates the second-highest combined search volume: 720 monthly searches for 'hvac contractor' and 210 for 'ac installation' — with strong 'ac repair' volume (5,400/mo) that signals replacement opportunities.
Broward's combination of Atlantic moisture, inland heat retention, and older housing stock in eastern neighborhoods creates specific AC replacement challenges. Duct leakage in 1970s-1990s homes, attic heat in single-story ranch designs, and coastal equipment corrosion within two miles of the ocean are common findings.
Broward County follows Florida Building Code (non-HVHZ) but individual municipalities — Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines — each operate their own building departments. Permit routing depends on the municipality identified from your ZIP. Our crews pull permits from the correct jurisdiction for your address.
CAC1822797 and CFC050548 — DBPR-verifiable contractor identity. Every installation is reviewed by a Florida State Certified contractor before the crew arrives.
AC installation cost in Broward County depends on the home — its size, duct condition, existing equipment setup, and the municipality's permit requirements. A straight changeout in a 1,800-square-foot Weston home with good ductwork runs a different scope than a full system replacement in a 1960s Fort Lauderdale ranch with deteriorated ductboard.
Broward has no HVHZ requirement (unlike Miami-Dade), but individual cities can add layers. Fort Lauderdale requires specific wind-load documentation for certain coastal zones. Pembroke Pines has its own inspection scheduling system. Weston enforces HOA architectural guidelines that can affect equipment placement.
NewHVACDeals captures the ZIP, home age, square footage, existing equipment clues, and access details before any number appears. The Manual J calculation — not a rule-of-thumb tonnage guess — determines the equipment size. The price follows the home, not a price book.
Broward stretches from the Atlantic coast to the Everglades, and the AC challenges shift with the geography. Coastal homes in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, and Pompano Beach deal with salt-air corrosion that eats standard outdoor units in under a decade. We spec corrosion-resistant coatings and coastal-rated cabinet finishes within two miles of the ocean.
Inland cities like Coral Springs, Parkland, Weston, and western Pembroke Pines face different challenges: larger homes with longer duct runs, multi-zone requirements, and attic installations where summer temperatures can exceed 130°F. Insulated ductwork and proper attic ventilation become as important as the equipment selection.
Fort Lauderdale's older neighborhoods — Victoria Park, Rio Vista, Colee Hammock — often have homes from the 1940s-1960s with original electrical panels, tight attic access, and no existing condensate safety. The intake captures these conditions before the crew arrives so the scope is comprehensive, not discovered mid-install.
The process starts at your computer or phone — not at your kitchen table with a salesperson. You enter your ZIP to confirm Broward County coverage, describe your home, upload photos of the existing equipment and access areas, and answer questions about comfort issues.
A Manual J load calculation — the ACCA-standard method used by Florida building code officials — determines the right system size based on your home's actual dimensions, window area, insulation levels, and construction type. This is the opposite of the "ton per 500 square feet" shortcut that causes humidity problems throughout South Florida.
A Florida State Certified contractor (CAC1822797) reviews the equipment path, verifies the sizing basis, confirms the municipal permit requirements, and sets the installation scope. The crew installs the system, schedules the final inspection, and completes warranty registration. Closeout documentation includes the permit record, inspection result, and warranty confirmation.
No salesperson. No two-hour pitch. No mystery about who's responsible for the permit or what happens after the install.
NewHVACDeals covers all Broward County municipalities and unincorporated areas. Our primary service cities include: Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, Miramar, Davie, Plantation, Sunrise, Deerfield Beach, Weston, Tamarac, Coconut Creek, Margate, Lauderhill, Oakland Park, Cooper City, Hallandale Beach, Parkland, Dania Beach, Lighthouse Point, and Wilton Manors.
Broward is the second-most populous county in Florida, and each city operates its own building department with distinct permit processes, inspection schedules, and local code amendments. We route permits through the correct municipal office for your address — never a county-wide assumption.
Broward County follows the Florida Building Code (non-HVHZ). Mechanical permits are required for permanently installed AC equipment replacement. Unlike Miami-Dade, Broward does not enforce its own product approval system, so standard Florida Product Approval equipment meets code requirements countywide.
However, permit routing is municipal, not county-level. Fort Lauderdale's Building Services Division, Hollywood's Building Division, Pembroke Pines' Building Department, and each other city run independent permit operations. The correct jurisdiction is identified from your ZIP during intake.
Some cities — notably Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood — have coastal construction requirements that can affect outdoor equipment mounting and wind-load documentation for properties east of the Intracoastal Waterway. The intake identifies these conditions before the permit application is filed.
NewHVACDeals handles the full permit path: application, fee payment, inspection scheduling, and closeout documentation. The homeowner receives the permit record and final inspection result as part of the installation closeout.
NewHVACDeals offers equipment across multiple manufacturers, selected based on the home's conditions — not a brand preference or distributor incentive. In Broward County, certain equipment characteristics matter more than others.
For coastal homes within two miles of the Atlantic, corrosion-resistant outdoor units with coated condenser coils and stainless-steel hardware extend equipment life by years compared to standard units. For inland homes with long duct runs and multi-zone requirements, variable-speed air handlers and properly sized duct transitions make the difference between even cooling and room-to-room temperature swings.
SEER2 ratings are the current federal efficiency metric. Florida code requires minimum 15 SEER2 for new residential installations. In Broward's humidity, the operational characteristic — two-stage vs. variable-speed, proper latent capacity at part-load — often matters more for comfort than the rated SEER2 number alone. The intake captures the home's humidity profile, duct condition, and room-balance complaints so the equipment recommendation fits the house, not the brochure.
Yes. Broward County municipalities require mechanical permits for AC replacement. Each city operates its own building department — Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, and others all have separate permit processes. NewHVACDeals identifies the correct jurisdiction from your ZIP and handles the permit path.
Typical installation scheduling is within 5-10 business days after the intake is completed and scope is confirmed. Emergency replacement for failed systems can often be expedited. The assessment intake takes 10-15 minutes online.
Fort Lauderdale's coastal properties may require corrosion-resistant equipment and wind-load documentation, especially east of the Intracoastal. Pembroke Pines (inland) typically follows standard Florida Building Code without coastal add-ons, though each city has its own permit office and inspection process.
Yes. Both Weston and Parkland are within our Broward County service area. These western communities often have larger homes with multi-zone requirements, and Weston has HOA architectural guidelines that may affect equipment placement.
Yes, financing is available through multiple providers. Terms are reviewed after the equipment scope and home conditions are confirmed. The financing discussion follows the technical review — not the other way around.
The six written guarantees cover: workmanship quality, Manual J sizing accuracy, refrigerant handling compliance, permit management, manufacturer warranty registration, and post-installation follow-up. Each is a written document, not a verbal promise.
The assessment captures property type (single-family, townhouse, condo), square footage, existing equipment location and access, and any HOA or condo association requirements. Townhouse installations often involve shared-wall considerations and equipment placement restrictions that are addressed during the review.
Yes. When the intake photos and field inspection reveal deteriorated, undersized, or leaky ductwork, duct replacement or repair is scoped as part of the installation. Broward's humidity makes duct condition a critical factor — a new AC on bad ducts is a bad installation.
