What Affects the Cost of AC Installations in Lehigh?
- The size of your home: Larger homes need stronger ACs capable of cooling the space. ACs for larger homes often cost more than smaller, less powerful models.
- The specific AC system: Make and model also influence price. Some brands charge more, but include extra features. Others charge higher for their most energy-efficient models.
- The complexity of the job: A simple AC replacement often costs less than jobs requiring additional work. If your home needs electrical work or ductwork repairs, costs increase.

FAQs
AC Installation Frequently Asked Questions
How long do AC units last?
Most ACs last between 8 and 10 years in Florida. Because it’s so hot and humid here, ACs run much more of the year than in most of the country, resulting in more wear and tear and a shorter lifespan.
How do I know what AC I need?
You know what AC you need based on sizing. You can generally estimate the sizing you need based on the square footage of your home. However, it’s much more accurate to use a load calculation, which modifies your estimated cooling needs based on relevant factors like sunlight exposure, windows, ceiling height, and the quality of your home's insulation.
What questions should I ask an AC installer?
You should ask several questions focused on quality and transparency before committing to the installation, including:
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Do you use a load calculation to size my unit or just square footage?
- What kind of AC do you recommend based on my budget and needs?
- What’s not included in the quote?
- Does this installation qualify for any rebates or incentives?
- Do you pull the permits and handle inspections?
What are common AC installation mistakes?
Common mistakes during AC installation include:
- Choosing the wrong size.
- Putting the unit in the wrong spot, such as an outdoor unit in direct sunlight or somewhere without good airflow.
- Charging the refrigerant incorrectly.
- Not repairing the ductwork (if necessary).
- Not setting the fan speeds correctly.
Trusting a licensed, reputable contractor to install your AC helps you avoid these issues.
Can I install an AC myself?
Technically, you can install an AC yourself, but it requires jumping through legal hoops. You need a mechanical permit to install or replace an AC in Florida. Usually, your installer pulls it for you, but you can technically request an owner-builder exemption. Using this exemption, you can act as your own contractor for work on your own personal home, but your installation must still pass an inspection.
Unless you’re installing a “DIY” mini-split designed for self-installation without tools or a window unit, you should leave this job to the professionals.
