Efficiency, refrigerant and rebates

Some Florida utilities offer rebates on qualifying high-efficiency systems; we check current programs when we quote. The federal 25C tax credit ended on December 31, 2025.

What affects the price of a new AC in DeLand?
- System size (tonnage), based on a load calculation for your home.

- Ductwork changes, such as new returns, resized runs or full duct replacement.
- Electrical, pad and line set work, permits and inspections.
We give you a written quote with options at different efficiency levels, so you can compare the upfront price against long-term savings.
Choosing the right efficiency for Florida
SEER2 measures how much cooling you get per unit of electricity. Higher numbers cost more upfront but use less power, which matters in a state where systems run most of the year. Two-stage and variable-speed systems also run longer at low speed, which removes more humidity and keeps temperatures more even. For many Florida homes, a mid-range or variable-speed system gives the best balance of price, comfort and humidity control.

DeLand weather and your HVAC system
West Volusia County sees summer highs in the low to mid 90s, heavy humidity from the St. Johns River basin and frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Winters are mild during the day but cold at night, with several frosty mornings most years. That means a long, demanding cooling season, real heating demand in January, and plenty of lightning-related electrical problems in summer.

AC installation FAQs for DeLand homeowners
How much does a new AC cost in Florida?
Price depends on system size, efficiency and any ductwork or electrical work needed. We give a written, upfront quote after an in-home visit.
How long does AC installation take?
Most replacements are finished in one day.
Should I replace the air handler with the outdoor unit?
Usually yes. Matched equipment is required for the rated efficiency and warranty, and new systems use a different refrigerant.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Financing is available for new systems.
What size AC do I need?
It depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, sun exposure and ductwork. We do a load calculation instead of guessing from the old unit or a rule of thumb.
How long does a new AC last in Florida?
Usually 10–15 years. Coastal homes and systems that skip maintenance tend to fall at the lower end.
Will a new AC lower my power bill?
Usually, yes, especially if your current system is 10 or more years old. Savings depend on the efficiency you choose and how your home is used.
