How it works
Less back-and-forth. Better comparisons.
A useful estimate begins before anyone opens the air handler. Organizing the same facts for each contractor helps you compare scope, assumptions and next steps.
01
Describe the problem once
Capture the issue, property type, system type, approximate age and timing in one short brief.
02
Share a consistent request
Use the same summary with every contractor so each professional starts with the same information.
03
Compare what matters
Review written scope, materials, timing, warranty and the contractor’s own licensing and insurance details—not price alone.
Our referral policy
How we choose contractors
Our operating policy sets a baseline for referrals. You should still check the contractor’s credentials yourself before hiring.
01
Current Florida roofing license
We only refer calls to contractors who hold a current Florida Certified Air Conditioning Contractor license (Class A or Class B), and we check every license number against the Florida DBPR license database before referring.
02
Insurance coverage
Contractors must carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance.
03
Your independent check
Before hiring, verify the license through the Florida DBPR official license search and ask for current insurance documents.
Why license-only matters: a current Florida license means the contractor carries the insurance the state requires, can pull proper permits, and answers to the DBPR if something goes wrong. Homeowners who hire licensed contractors can also file a complaint with the state and, as a last resort, seek compensation from the Florida Homeowners’ Construction Recovery Fund. None of that protection exists with an unlicensed operator.
Before you wait
Some cooling problems should be documented quickly.
You can note these safely from inside the home. Never open electrical panels or the outdoor unit yourself.
- Warm air from the ventsCheck the thermostat setting and the breaker, then note which rooms are affected.
- Ice on the lines or water around the unitTurn the system off to let it thaw, then photograph what you see.
- Burning smell or loud grindingTurn the system off and contact a professional promptly.

Permits and code
System replacements in Florida typically require permits and must meet the Florida Building Code. Ask how the contractor handles permits and inspections.
Proper sizing
Correct system sizing comes from a load calculation, not a rule of thumb. Ask whether the quote includes one.
Summer demand
Central Florida summers run systems hard. A spring tune-up costs less than an emergency visit in August.
Good to know
Questions before the first estimate
Is this an HVAC contractor?
No. Florida HVAC Leads is a free referral service: you describe your project once, and we refer your request to licensed local HVAC contractors. HVAC work, inspections, pricing, warranties and permits are provided by the licensed contractor you choose.
What happens when I submit the form?
Your request is sent to Florida HVAC Leads, and a licensed local HVAC contractor in your area contacts you to discuss your project and provide a quote. Your information is used only to arrange that contact. There is no obligation.
What if I do not know my system type or age?
Select “Not sure.” A contractor can identify the system and estimate its age during the visit.
Should I choose the lowest estimate?
Price is only one part of the decision. Compare the written scope, materials, exclusions, timing, warranty, license and insurance information.
How does Florida HVAC Leads make money?
HVAC contractors may pay us a fee when you contact them through this site. This never changes your price — every quote comes from the contractor you choose.
Are the contractors licensed?
We only work with contractors who hold a current Florida Certified Air Conditioning Contractor license (Class A or Class B) and carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and we check every license number against the Florida DBPR license database before referring. Always verify any contractor’s license yourself with the Florida DBPR official license search before hiring.
How do I avoid HVAC scams in Florida?
Verify the license through the Florida DBPR official license search, get the license number in writing on the contract, and never pay the full amount upfront. Be cautious with door-to-door offers during heat waves; reputable Florida HVAC contractors provide written estimates and do not demand cash deposits on the spot.
