Plan your AC replacement

A new air conditioner is a major purchase. ACE Air Conditioning & Electrical provides free in-home estimates for system replacements across Central Florida. We assess the home, existing equipment and ductwork, explain the available options, and give you an upfront price before work starts.

Choose a system sized for your home

We consider the home's living space, windows, insulation, shade and duct layout instead of simply copying the size of the old unit. Correct sizing helps an air conditioner cool the home and manage humidity without cycling too quickly or running constantly.

Replace the matched system

The outdoor condenser and indoor air handler are designed and rated to work together. We review both parts of the system and explain the replacement scope, including whether the existing ductwork can be used.

What AC replacement costs

These figures show what our customers paid for replacement change-outs and complete system installations. A change-out uses the existing ductwork. Complete installations include larger and higher-efficiency systems. Your exact flat-rate price is provided before work starts.

JobTypicalMiddle halfJobs
Replacement change-out: condenser and air handler on existing ductwork$7,048$5,936 to $8,788194
Complete system installation, including larger and higher-efficiency systems$9,499$7,282 to $12,074115

These are what our customers actually paid for completed jobs from January 2023 to October 2026. Your exact price is quoted before any work starts.

What affects the price

  • System size. The capacity needed depends on the home and its layout.
  • Efficiency and features. Higher-efficiency and variable-speed equipment can affect the purchase price.
  • Ductwork. Leaky, crushed or undersized ducts may need repair or replacement.
  • Equipment location. Attic installations may need additional labor and safety components.
  • Electrical work. We check the disconnect, breaker and wiring as part of the estimate.

What to expect on installation day

ACE pulls the required permit. The crew removes the old equipment, sets the new condenser and air handler, connects the refrigerant lines, drain and power, then pressure-tests and charges the system. Before leaving, the crew starts the system, checks temperatures and airflow, and shows you the thermostat and filter. The completed installation is inspected.

Ask about the manufacturer and labor warranty for the specific equipment in your estimate. ACE has been family-owned since 1979, is a member of ACCA and VACCA, and posts its licenses for you to check.

Choose the equipment that fits your home

Split systems and package units

Most homes have a split system, with a condenser outside and an air handler in the attic, garage or closet. A package unit holds the equipment in one outdoor cabinet and can suit a home without indoor space for an air handler.

Heat pump or electric heat strips

A heat pump provides both cooling and heating. Electric heat strips in the air handler are another heating option. During your estimate, we can review the existing setup and discuss the system that fits your home.

AC replacement questions

How much does AC replacement cost?

The price depends on the system and work the home needs. The table above shows what our customers paid for completed replacement change-outs and complete installations from January 2023 to October 2026. We provide a flat-rate quote for your home before any work starts.

What is the difference between a change-out and a complete installation?

A change-out replaces the outdoor condenser and indoor air handler while using the existing ductwork. A complete installation may include larger or higher-efficiency systems and additional work. We look at your home and explain which scope fits before you decide.

Is the AC replacement estimate free?

Yes. ACE provides free in-home estimates for system replacements. We review your existing equipment, the home and its ductwork, then explain suitable options and provide the price before work begins. You can compare the estimate with your budget and ask about financing.

How do you choose the right size air conditioner?

We assess the home rather than simply copying the size printed on the old unit. The estimate considers living space, windows, insulation, shade and ductwork. Correct sizing helps the system cool and remove humidity without cycling too quickly or struggling to keep up.

Do I need to replace both the indoor and outdoor units?

The condenser and air handler are designed to work as a matched pair. Replacing only the outdoor unit can reduce system efficiency and may affect eligibility for a utility rebate. We review the existing equipment and explain the options for a complete system replacement.

What happens on installation day?

The crew removes the old equipment, installs the new condenser and air handler, connects the refrigerant lines, drain and power, and tests the system. We check airflow and temperatures, review the thermostat and filter with you, and arrange the required inspection.

Can I finance a new AC system?

Financing is available through Service Finance Company and Synchrony, subject to credit approval. Terms and eligibility depend on the plan. Visit our financing and rebates page for current information, or ask about financing options when you review your estimate.

Does AC replacement require a permit?

A permit is required for a system replacement. ACE handles the permit as part of the installation process, and the work is inspected after installation. Duke Energy also requires a permit for its air-conditioning rebate, along with the other program requirements.
