AC Installationin Kendall, FL
New central air systems sized by load calculation, installed with a permit and commissioned properly.
AC Installation for Kendall buildings
Most Kendall homes have a split system with the air handler in the garage or an interior closet and ducts in a vented attic. That layout is simple to service and gives us room to install properly sized, high-efficiency equipment. The limiting factor is usually the original return duct, which is too small for a modern system on many houses from the 1980s, and we check it before quoting a replacement.
How an air conditioner is installed decides how it performs for the next fifteen years. Equipment that is too large cools quickly, shuts off and leaves the house clammy. Equipment that is too small never catches up in August. We size every system with a Manual J load calculation based on your home, and we never copy the tonnage printed on the old unit.
Every installation is permitted and inspected, the outdoor unit is anchored to meet South Florida's high-wind requirements, and the refrigerant charge is set by measurement.
Included in every installation
- Room-by-room load calculation
- New pad, hurricane tie-downs, disconnect and electrical whip
- New drain line with a float safety switch
- Line set flushed or replaced, pressure-tested and evacuated to 500 microns
- Mechanical permit and final inspection
- Manufacturer warranty registered in your name

AC Installation in Kendall: questions
What size air conditioner does my house need?
It depends on floor area, insulation, window area and orientation, ceiling height and duct condition. The rule of one ton per 500 square feet is often wrong for Florida homes. A load calculation gives the correct answer.
What efficiency rating is required in Florida?
New split-system air conditioners installed in Florida must meet the federal minimum for the Southeast region, which is 14.3 SEER2 for most residential sizes. Higher ratings cost more up front and use less electricity, which matters in a climate where the system runs most of the year.
Which refrigerant do new systems use?
Equipment manufactured from 2025 onward uses the newer refrigerants R-454B or R-32 in place of R-410A. They cannot be mixed with older refrigerants, which is one reason indoor and outdoor units are replaced together.
Is a permit required for HVAC work in Kendall?
Installing or replacing air conditioning equipment in Kendall requires a mechanical permit and a final inspection. Permits here are issued by Miami-Dade County, since Kendall is unincorporated and has no city building department. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning do not need one. We file the paperwork and attend the inspection.
Who issues AC permits in Kendall?
Kendall is an unincorporated community, so mechanical permits come from Miami-Dade County's permitting office instead of a city building department. We file the permit, schedule the county inspection and meet the inspector on site.
Why are the back bedrooms in my Kendall house always warmer?
On single-storey Kendall homes the bedrooms are usually at the end of the longest duct runs. Leaky or crushed attic ducts and an undersized return are the usual causes. We measure airflow at each register and fix the duct problem, which is often cheaper than replacing the air conditioner.
