Why it's different

Florida air is a humidity problem. We price it that way.

  1. 01Sized by the math, not the salesmanMany Florida homes have an AC that's too big. It cools fast, shuts off and leaves the air damp. We run a load calculation (Manual J) for your home and put the result on your quote.
  2. 02Humidity firstThe EPA recommends keeping indoor humidity below 60%, ideally 30 to 50%. A variable-speed heat pump or a whole-home dehumidifier is how you get there in a Sarasota August.
  3. 03Current refrigerant, never old stockNew systems use R-454B or R-32. Some installers are still clearing out older R-410A equipment, which is allowed but uses a refrigerant that's being phased down. We don't install it.
  4. 04Built for the coastEvery outdoor unit is tied down to Florida's hurricane code, and homes near salt air can choose a coated coil.
  5. 05Your AC can flood your house tooA clogged drain line is a common cause of ceiling water damage in Florida. Our drain-line guard shuts the AC off and texts you first.

Questions

Before you book.

How much does a new AC cost in Sarasota?

At Whole Home Company, a two-stage heat pump starts at $7,495 installed and a variable-speed inverter heat pump at $10,495, for a changeout of a system up to 3 tons using your existing ducts. That includes the air handler, a smart thermostat, the permit, hurricane tie-downs and hauling the old system away. Monthly from $159 on approved credit (9.99% APR over 60 months).

How do you know what size system I need?

We run a load calculation (Manual J) from your home's size, windows, insulation and orientation, and the AC contractor confirms it. The result is printed on your quote. Bigger isn't better in Florida: an oversized system leaves the air damp.

Heat pump or AC: what's the difference?

A heat pump is an air conditioner that can also run in reverse to heat the house on cold mornings. It replaces the AC and the electric heat strips many Florida homes use, and costs a little more than a cooling-only system.

Do I need a whole-home dehumidifier?

If your house feels sticky, smells musty or sits empty for the summer, probably. It keeps humidity down even when the AC isn't running, and works with the system you already have.

Does my AC use R-22?

Systems installed before 2010 may use R-22, an older refrigerant that's no longer made, which makes repairs expensive. It isn't illegal to keep using it. One photo of the sticker on your outdoor unit tells us for sure.

Is there a federal tax credit for heat pumps?

The federal heat pump tax credit ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025. If your utility offers a rebate, we'll tell you, but we never build a rebate into our price.

When can I book?

Booking opens in January 2027. Reserve now and you'll be first to pick a date.
