AC Replacementin Kendall, FL
Replacement of worn-out or R-22 systems with correctly sized, efficient equipment, old unit removed.
AC Replacement 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.
Air conditioners in South Florida typically last ten to fifteen years, less near salt water. Past that age, repairs become frequent and the system uses noticeably more electricity than a current model to do the same job.
We replace the outdoor unit and the indoor air handler as a matched pair, reuse the ductwork when it tests well, and remove and recycle the old equipment and its refrigerant in line with EPA rules.
Signs it is time to replace
- The system is more than twelve years old
- It uses R-22 refrigerant and has developed a leak
- The compressor or evaporator coil has failed out of warranty
- Repairs in the last two years are adding up
- Electric bills keep rising with the same usage
- Humidity stays high even when the temperature is right
How replacement works
- We assess the existing system, the ducts and the electrical supply, and run a load calculation.
- You get fixed-price options and information on current utility rebates and financing.
- We file the permit, then remove the old equipment and recover its refrigerant.
- We install and commission the new system, usually within a single day.
- After the final inspection we register the manufacturer warranty.
AC Replacement in Kendall: questions
Can I replace only the outdoor unit?
Rarely. The indoor coil and outdoor unit are designed as a matched pair, and new equipment uses a different refrigerant from older systems. A mismatched pair loses efficiency, usually voids the warranty and often fails early.
How long does an AC replacement take?
Most residential replacements are completed in one day. Jobs that include new ductwork or a relocated air handler take two to three days.
Are there rebates for a new AC in Miami?
Florida Power & Light runs rebate programmes for qualifying high-efficiency systems, and federal tax credits have applied to some equipment. Programmes change, so we check what is currently available for the model you choose.
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.
