Honest answers. No fluff.

You complete a 10-minute intake that covers your home, existing equipment, comfort goals, and ZIP code. Our AI-assisted system runs a Manual J heat-load calculation, pulls permit history, and generates equipment recommendations tied to your specific home — all before you talk to anyone.

Florida HVAC replacement price depends on tonnage, home size, ductwork condition, county permitting requirements, available rebates, and labor access in your market. A number with none of that context is just noise. Real ranges appear after the intake, tied to your actual home.

No. The entire process — intake, equipment selection, pricing, financing, and checkout — happens online. The phone number at the top of the site rings a real install desk, not a sales team. Call if you want to talk; don't if you don't.

There isn't one. We cut the in-home sales pitch and the markup that comes with it. We make money on the equipment and install margin, not on high-pressure upsells. The 48-hour no-questions cancellation policy exists because we're confident enough to offer it.

NewHVACDeals LLC is a Florida-state-certified HVAC contractor (DBPR CAC1822797 and CFC050548). We operate our own licensed crews in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Palm Beach, and Broward counties, and work with vetted partner contractors in other Florida markets.

Every quote goes through a Manual J heat-load calculation — the ACCA-standard method that accounts for square footage, ceiling height, window area, insulation, local design temperatures, and infiltration. We don't eyeball it.

Manual J is the industry standard for calculating the exact heating and cooling load of a specific home. It's what ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America) requires for code-compliant equipment sizing in Florida. Most HVAC companies skip it and guess by square footage — which routinely results in oversized equipment that short-cycles and fails to control humidity.

Photos help us identify equipment age, refrigerant type, nameplate data, access constraints, ductwork condition, and installation issues that aren't visible in permit records. A photo of your air handler closet tells us more than your address does.

Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman — four tiers across each brand, SEER2 14 through 22. The intake matching prioritizes the equipment tier that fits your home's load and your comfort goals, not the brand with the largest margin for us.

Most Florida homes run heat pumps because the heating load is low enough that reverse-cycle heat is cheaper than gas. If you have an existing gas furnace and want to keep it, a straight-cool AC may make sense. The intake calculates your heating load and recommends based on your setup, not a general rule.

We'll flag it. An oversized system in Florida short-cycles — it cools the air but doesn't run long enough to dehumidify it. You feel clammy even at 72°F. Correct sizing is one of the core things the Manual J calculation solves.

A standard split-system replacement (same location, existing ductwork) typically takes 4–6 hours. Larger systems, ductwork work, or attic air handlers can run 6–8 hours. We tell you the scope and timeline before you commit.

Yes, for the duration of the install day. In Florida summers, we schedule installs early in the morning to minimize discomfort. If there's a delay or complication, the install desk will notify you same-day.

In Pinellas, Hillsborough, Palm Beach, and Broward counties, our own licensed crews under CAC1822797. In other Florida markets, vetted partner contractors operating under their own Florida state licenses. Either way, the work is permitted and inspected.

Yes. The crew needs access to the air handler, condenser pad, electrical disconnect, and attic or closet space. Someone 18+ who can authorize work needs to be present.

Call the install desk — the number on your confirmation. Not a call center. A real desk that knows your job number, scope, and crew. If the install can't be completed due to an unforeseen issue, we'll reschedule and communicate clearly.

After checkout, the scheduling team books within 5–10 business days in most Florida markets, depending on permit processing time. Emergency situations are assessed case-by-case.

You see real tier ranges on the homepage. After the intake, the system generates a specific quote for your home, including equipment, labor, permit fees, and applicable rebates. No surprises at checkout.

Yes. We apply IRA 25C federal tax credits, FPL, Duke, TECO, and JEA utility rebates at checkout where they apply to your equipment and county. We handle the paperwork — you don't file anything separately.

Cash closes fastest — bank transfer or check. Financing buyers use Wisetack (smaller projects) or GoodLeap (larger projects) with soft-pull prequalification. Same scope, same crew; just two ways to pay.

Prequalification is a soft pull — no impact on your score. A hard inquiry only happens when you formally apply and commit to a specific loan. We make this clear before you enter the financing flow.

Wisetack offers 24-month terms for qualifying buyers. GoodLeap offers longer terms, up to 25 years for solar+HVAC combos. Final rates and terms come from the lender — we don't set them and won't promise specific numbers the lender controls.

Equipment manufacturer warranty (typically 10 years parts with registration) plus our 10-year labor warranty on every install. The labor warranty covers the cost of labor to correct any installation defect — it transfers if you sell the home.

An industry term for a warranty that's only as durable as the installer's truck. When you see the tail lights pull away, your warranty's gone — because if the company folds, the warranty's worthless. Ours works differently.

Yes. Our labor warranty is an insurance product, not a contractor promise. It is underwritten by a Florida-licensed insurance carrier — so your coverage doesn't disappear if the installing company ever closes or changes hands.

The labor warranty survives because it's backed by a state-licensed insurance carrier, not by our operating capital. This is the direct answer to the tail-light warranty problem: it's an insurance product, not a handshake.

The same install desk on your confirmation — 24/7/365, for the life of the system. Not a generic support line. If you need a repair or maintenance, you call the same number and get routed to someone who can see your job record.

Yes. NewHVACDeals LLC holds two Florida state certifications issued by the DBPR / Construction Industry Licensing Board: CAC1822797 (Certified Class A Air Conditioning Contractor) and CFC050548 (Certified Plumbing Contractor — for refrigerant lines and condensate work). Search either number at myfloridalicense.com to pull our public record, issue date, and status.

We're DBPR-certified contractors. The labor warranty is a separate insurance product underwritten by a Florida-licensed carrier. Two separate things: the contractor certification covers the work, the insurance product covers the warranty obligation.

NewHVACDeals LLC is the licensed entity. License numbers are public. We don't need to drop partner names because the license is the accountability mechanism — search it, verify it, done.

48-hour no-questions cancellation on every reservation, full refund before install starts. Florida law also provides a 3-day statutory rescission on home improvement contracts. The full refund policy is on the legal page.

Call the install desk. We stand on six written guarantees — written scope, quote review, target-county routing, real humans on the phone, licensed and insured crews, and a no-spam promise. If we miss one, we make it right or we refund.
