The right system for Florida — heating and cooling in one unit.
Heat pumps make sense in Central Florida like nowhere else. Mild winters mean a single high-SEER2 heat pump replaces both AC and furnace, with electric strip backup for the rare 30° morning. Duke Energy and OUC rebates handled in-house.
Why heat pumps win here, and what to know before you buy.
Florida's mild winters are heat-pump heaven. Even on the coldest mornings, an air-source heat pump pulls enough heat from outdoor air to warm an Orlando home efficiently — at roughly a third the operating cost of pure electric resistance heating. Dual-fuel (gas + heat pump) is rare in Florida; most homes never need it.
New heat pump installation
We size every heat pump with a Manual J load calculation — not a square-footage chart. SEER2-rated 15.2 minimum (the new federal standard for the southeast region), with variable-speed inverter options that cut bills 25-40% over legacy single-stage units. Carrier, Trane, Mitsubishi, Daikin.
Heat pump repair
Reversing valve stuck, defrost cycle failing, electric strip backup not engaging on a cold morning. Heat-pump diagnostics need techs who actually understand the heating side — most Florida HVAC training skims it. Our certified team works on heating systems weekly, even in May.
Duke Energy & OUC rebates
Duke Energy and OUC both offer rebates on qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps — typically $300-$1,200 depending on SEER2 rating and HSPF2 score. We handle the paperwork, submit on your behalf, and apply the rebate against your invoice so you never see the gap.
Mini-split (ductless) heat pumps
Perfect for additions, converted garages, sunrooms, mother-in-law suites, and older Orlando homes without ductwork. Mitsubishi and Daikin multi-zone systems give you per-room control, near-silent operation, and SEER2 ratings into the high 20s.
Twice-yearly heat pump maintenance
Heat pumps run year-round in Florida, so wear accumulates faster than in northern climates. Our Comfort Club plan includes a fall heating-mode inspection — reversing valve test, defrost board check, electric strip amperage — that almost no other Florida contractor bothers with.
Sizing & equipment selection
Oversized heat pumps short-cycle in shoulder seasons (March, November) and never run long enough to dehumidify. Undersized ones never reach setpoint on the hottest days. We size at the load — not at what the previous unit was — and we will explain the trade-offs in plain English.
What to expect
Manual J & quote
In-home load calculation, equipment selection, and a flat written quote with rebates already applied.
Permits + HOA
We pull the Orange County mechanical permit and handle HOA architectural review (Celebration, Hunters Creek, Harmony).
Install (1-2 days)
Old equipment removed to EPA refrigerant-recovery spec, new pad set, line-set run cleanly, full system commissioning.
Rebate filed
Duke / OUC paperwork submitted within 30 days. You see the rebate on the invoice, not weeks later.
What homeowners say
“Honest, friendly, and fair. They quoted half what a national chain wanted for the same repair. Repeat customer for life.”
“Booked a tune-up online Friday night, they were out Saturday morning. Found a worn capacitor before it became a 3 AM emergency.”
“Tech showed up in a clean truck with shoe covers — small thing, big deal. Got our system running again the same afternoon.”
Heat pump questions
01How long does a typical AC installation take?+
A standard residential changeout — same location, same configuration — takes most of one day. Adding new ductwork, electrical upgrades, or going ductless can extend that to two days. We will give you a realistic schedule before we start.
02What size AC unit do I need?+
Sizing is not just about square footage — it depends on your insulation, ceiling height, window count, and Florida sun exposure. We perform a Manual J load calculation so you get a system sized correctly. Oversized units short-cycle and waste money; undersized units never keep up.
03Do you install ductless mini-splits?+
Yes. Mini-splits are an excellent choice for additions, garages, sunrooms, and older homes without ductwork. We install single-zone and multi-zone systems and handle all line-set, condensate, and electrical work.
