Central Florida, without the padding.
Orlando sits outside our three direct-service counties, so installs here are performed by one of our vetted partner contractors — each independently DBPR-licensed, each running the same Manual-J sizing and same four-tier pricing you see on this site. Orange County homeowners see the real installed price before the quote asks for a callback.

Why systems in Orlando are sized differently.
Orlando runs ~3,600 cooling degree days — inland Central Florida, slightly drier than Tampa but with bigger afternoon-thunderstorm humidity swings. Variable-speed equipment dehumidifies better than single-stage units through those swings, so Deluxe and Premier tiers tend to win here. The 3-week cold snap each January is real — a heat pump handles it for free, a strip-heat resistance unit turns your December power bill into a second mortgage.
What matters only in Orlando.
Permit in Orlando
Typical cost: $185–$245. 5–8 business days from pull to final inspection (City of Orlando and Orange County are both efficient; HOAs in Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, and Windermere add 1–2 weeks for ARB review). Pulled with City of Orlando Permitting Services (or Orange County Building Safety for unincorporated addresses — Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Apopka, and Ocoee each run their own building departments; Reedy Creek for the Lake Buena Vista district).
Utility rebate — Duke
Duke Energy Florida (OUC in City of Orlando proper) offers up to $1,500 on qualifying high-efficiency installs. Stackable with the $2,000 federal IRA 25C credit on heat pumps. We file the paperwork for you at checkout — no DIY submissions.
Ductwork in Orlando
Orlando ductwork is three different decades of problem. 1920s Colonialtown and College Park bungalows have original attic flex that has collapsed or disconnected from the boots — the inner liner separates and the outer jacket holds the shape of the run, so visual inspection alone misses the leak. 1970s ranches in Winter Park and Pine Hills have metal trunks with failed plenum gaskets that lose 10–20% of conditioned air into the attic. 2010s Lake Nona and Horizon West new-builds often have clean returns but over-sized supply trunks from the original builder's Manual J — we often downsize the condenser rather than replacing ducts.
Installed by a vetted partner contractor.
Orlando sits outside our three direct-service counties (Pinellas / Hillsborough / Pasco for Hales AC, Palm Beach for Climate Control Services, Broward for Abraham AC). Rather than pretend we install here directly, we route Orlandojobs to an independently-licensed partner contractor — vetted one-by-one against the same standards our own crews meet: Florida DBPR certification, active General Liability and Workers' Comp, NATE / EPA certifications on technicians, and a review history we can independently verify.
You'll see the partner contractor's name, license number, and Google reviews on your confirmation screen before any payment — same transparency rule we hold the in-house brands to.
What we know about Orlando.
Orlando's residential footprint is unusually wide. Bungalows in Colonialtown and Thornton Park run 1920s balloon framing with attic flex baked for a century. 1970s ranches in Winter Park and Pine Hills have trunk-and-branch systems where the plenum gaskets have failed. Dr. Phillips, Lake Nona, and the Tourist Corridor new-builds are tight, well-insulated 2010s construction that often runs 0.5 ton smaller than a legacy installer quotes. Our partner contractors start with the house, not the brochure.
Four more crews, four more counties.
Orlando homeowners ask us first.
How much does HVAC installation cost in Orlando, FL?
In Orlando a turnkey HVAC install typically runs $12,490–$27,890 before rebates, depending on tier: Basic $12,490 / Deluxe $15,990 / Premier $21,389 / Optimum $27,890. Your price includes equipment, labor, permits, haul-away, and a 10-year parts + labor warranty — and the Duke Energy Florida (OUC in City of Orlando proper) rebate up to $1,500 plus $2,000 federal heat pump credit typically knock $2,000–$4,000 off the net.
How fast can you install a new HVAC system in Orlando?
Most Orlando installs happen within 1 day of your reservation — 1 day on average. Standard 3-ton and 4-ton systems are stocked locally and ship the same day, and Orange County issues residential HVAC permits within a few hours so our crews can be on your roof the next morning. Complex ductwork or variable-speed orders occasionally run 2–3 days.
What size HVAC do I need for a Orlando home?
Size depends on your home's square footage, insulation, orientation, and ductwork — not a "1 ton per 500 sqft" rule of thumb. Orlando's Central Florida climate zone averages high humidity and long cooling seasons, so we run a real Manual J load calculation on every job and typically land 0.5 ton smaller than what walk-in contractors quote — which is exactly what keeps your house comfortable instead of clammy.
Are NewHVACDeals installers licensed in Orange County?
NewHVACDeals LLC holds Florida DBPR certifications CAC1822797 (Class A Air Conditioning Contractor) and CFC050548 (Plumbing Contractor) covering every install in Orange County. Every crew is fully insured (General Liability + Workers' Compensation as required by Florida contractor law) and every install is permitted and inspected with the Orange County building department. Verify both numbers on the DBPR public licensee search at myfloridalicense.com.
