7 Signs You Need AC Replacement (Not Repair)
Even with great maintenance, most AC units in Florida's climate start declining after a decade. If your system is approaching 15 years old, replacement often makes more financial sense than continued repairs.
Need a $3,000 compressor replacement? That's half the cost of a brand-new system with better efficiency and a full warranty. We'll help you weigh the math.
Older AC systems lose efficiency over time. If your cooling costs have increased dramatically despite regular maintenance, a new high-efficiency system can pay for itself through energy savings.
Frequent breakdowns are a sign your system is at the end of its lifespan. Constantly paying for repairs adds up fast—and leaves you at risk for another breakdown.
Hot and cold spots throughout your house can indicate an undersized or failing AC system. A properly sized replacement will restore consistent comfort.
R-22 (Freon) was phased out in 2020 and is now extremely expensive to refill. If your system needs refrigerant, replacement is almost always the better option.
These sounds usually mean major components (like the compressor) are failing. At that point, repair costs often don't justify the investment.
Not sure if you should repair or replace?
The AC&R Pro Installation Process: What to Expect
Every AC replacement is personally managed by Miguel or Samantha. We don't hand you off to a salesperson or subcontract the work—your comfort is our responsibility from start to finish. Here's exactly what happens when you choose AC&R Pro:
step 1
Free In-Home Consultation
We visit your home to assess your current system, measure your space, evaluate your ductwork, and understand your comfort goals. This isn't a sales pitch—it's a fact-finding mission to ensure we recommend the right solution for your home.
step 2
Manual J Load Calculation
We perform a professional load calculation to determine the exact AC size your home needs. This considers square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, sun exposure, and more. Proper sizing prevents undersized units (that can't keep up) or oversized units (that cycle on and off constantly).
step 3
Transparent Quote
You'll receive a detailed written estimate that breaks down equipment costs, labor, permits, disposal of your old unit, and any ductwork modifications. No hidden fees. No surprises. Just clear, honest pricing.
step 4
System Selection Guidance
We'll walk you through your options: different SEER ratings (efficiency levels), brand choices, features like variable-speed compressors or smart thermostats, and warranty coverage. We'll help you choose what fits your budget and long-term goals—never pressure you into the most expensive option.
step 5
Financing Options
Need to spread out the investment? We partner with Wisetack to offer flexible financing with rates as low as 0% APR for qualified buyers. You can apply online in minutes and get an instant decision. We'll also help you explore federal tax credits and utility rebates for high-efficiency systems.
step 6
Fast Scheduling
Once you approve the quote, we typically schedule installation within 2-5 business days. Need it sooner? We'll do our best to accommodate rush requests, especially if your old system failed completely.
step 7
Professional Installation
Our licensed technicians arrive on time, treat your home with respect, and complete the installation efficiently. Most replacements take 4-8 hours (same day). We'll remove your old system, install the new one, connect refrigerant lines and electrical, test everything thoroughly, and clean up completely.
step 8
Post-Install Walkthrough
Before we leave, we'll walk you through your new system. We'll show you how to operate your thermostat, explain the maintenance schedule, answer all your questions, and make sure you're 100% comfortable with your new AC.
step 9
Warranty Registration
We handle all manufacturer warranty paperwork for you—no hassle on your end. You'll get copies of everything for your records.
step 10

How Much Does AC Replacement Cost in Kissimmee?
We believe in honest pricing. Too many HVAC companies avoid talking about cost until you're sitting in their sales presentation. At AC&R Pro, we want you to know what to expect upfront. Here's what most Kissimmee homeowners invest for a complete AC replacement:
Home Size
AC Size (Tons)
Typical Cost Range
Prices include equipment, installation labor, permits, old unit removal, and standard refrigerant lines. Final cost depends on SEER rating, brand selection, and any necessary ductwork or electrical upgrades.
What Affects Your AC Replacement Cost?
Several factors influence the final price of your new system:
SEER Rating (Efficiency Level)
Higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) systems cost more upfront but save money long-term through lower energy bills. A 14 SEER unit is the minimum in Florida, but a 16-18 SEER system can save you $150-$300+ per year in cooling costs.
Brand Selection
We install trusted brands like Carrier, Lennox, Trane, and Goodman. Premium brands cost more but often include better warranties, quieter operation, and advanced features. We'll help you compare options within your budget.
Ductwork Modifications
If your existing ductwork is damaged, leaking, or not compatible with your new system, repairs or modifications may be needed. We'll inspect your ducts during the consultation and include any necessary work in your quote.
Electrical Upgrades
Modern high-efficiency AC systems may require electrical updates like a new breaker, disconnect box, or dedicated circuit. If your home's electrical panel can't support the new system, we'll coordinate with a licensed electrician.
Permits & Inspections
All AC installations in Florida require permits and inspections to ensure code compliance. We handle all permitting—it's included in our pricing.
Removal & Disposal

Flexible Financing Options
Don't let budget concerns keep you uncomfortable. We partner with Wisetack to offer flexible financing with:
Federal Tax Credits & Energy Rebates
High-efficiency AC systems (16+ SEER) may qualify for federal tax credits up to $2,000 through the Inflation Reduction Act. Additionally, some utility companies offer rebates for energy-efficient upgrades.
We'll help you navigate available incentives to maximize your savings. A high-efficiency system not only reduces your monthly cooling costs—it can also put money back in your pocket through rebates.
Choosing the Right SEER Rating for Your Kissimmee Home
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, and it measures how efficiently your AC uses electricity. In Florida, where air conditioning runs 8-10 months per year, SEER rating makes a huge difference in your monthly utility bills.
Compared to a 10 SEER system in a 2,000 sq ft home running 8 months/year at Florida utility rates.
Our Recommendation for Central Florida
For Kissimmee's year-round heat and high cooling demand, we typically recommend at least 16 SEER for the best balance of upfront cost and long-term savings. A 16-17 SEER system will pay for the higher initial investment within 3-5 years through lower energy bills.
Higher SEER systems also come with features that make a big difference in Florida's climate:

AC Installation & Replacement FAQ
Most AC replacements are completed in 4-8 hours (single day). The exact timeline depends on system size, ductwork condition, and whether any electrical or structural modifications are needed. Multi-zone systems or complex installations with significant ductwork changes may take 1-2 days. We'll give you an accurate timeline during your consultation.
Not always, but it depends on your furnace's age and condition. If your furnace is 10+ years old, replacing both at once saves on labor costs (since our team is already installing the indoor components) and ensures system compatibility.
In Florida, most homes have a split system: an outdoor AC unit paired with an indoor air handler (not a furnace). If you're replacing the outdoor unit, we'll inspect the indoor components to make sure everything works together efficiently.
AC size depends on your home's square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, ductwork layout, sun exposure, and number of windows. We perform a Manual J load calculation—the industry-standard method—to determine the exact size needed.
As a general guideline, Florida homes typically need about 1 ton of cooling per 500-600 square feet. However, improper sizing is one of the most common mistakes in AC installation. An undersized unit won't keep up with demand, while an oversized unit will cycle on and off constantly, wasting energy and failing to control humidity.
