Highly recommend M&S A/C. They installed a mini split unit in our garage and did an excellent job. Ditto for replacing our main HVAC unit. Both are Mitsubishi.

Chuck Farrell’s is reliable, and reasonable. I have used them for the past 12 years and never have been disappointed in their service or price!

Are you replacing an air conditioner or a heat pump? These days and for many decades, never buy just an air conditioner, buy a heat pump. I’ve had them in all my houses since the 80’s. They are much more efficient for both heating and cooling and will save you a lot of money. Then get a smart thermostat like the ecobee and configure it to use geofencing, and you will save more money on cooling bills, plus you can operate thru your iPhone.

Also, if you are going to spend this kind of money, don’t go cheap. Single stage is cheap and more inefficient than a dual stage.

Before you pick a vendor you may want to consider the type of system you put in. 410A is being phased out and may cost thousands if you have to replace it in future repairs. Not sure if it is an option yet in Florida.

May be worth holding off a few more months.

Also a variable speed compressor is more efficient but more expensive. Still may want to consider it because it doesn't have to be cycled on and off constantly so you won't have the blast of hot air every time it starts. And with a variable speed fan you will have excellent humidity control.

R410a being phased out starting Jan, 2023

We shopped around and obtained estimates and information from 6 companies, then decided to go with DiSantis. They offered the "Best Value" solution with a Trane unit.

We used Munn’s, not cheap but they gave use a 12 year parts and labor warranty for a a Carrier unit with SEER rating of 19. Won’t tell you it was inexpensive but our highest electric bill has been $120.00. This is for the four years we’ve had it.

Chuck Farrell is replacing ours next week. They are honest and reliable. They are now carrying Champion because of the reliability and it has a 10 year parts and labor warranty, which is unheard of.

We have used Hilliards do 29 years! They are honest and prompt with their services and their techs are outstanding. Highly recommend them.

We used Chuck Farrell - best price around. Employees were neat and tidy and completed the job quickly. We couldn’t be happier. Also know if several others that have used them and are very happy also.

I got a new unit last year and used Marc Anthony Plumbing and Heating. Used them again for my yearly tune up

HVAC systems don't need to be "tuned up".
