Sarasota's coastal climate and your AC
Sarasota homes run their AC most of the year, and salt air from the Gulf speeds up coil corrosion. Many older homes and condos still have 10–15 year old systems that use far more electricity than a modern SEER2 unit.
Permits and code requirements in Sarasota
- AC replacement requires a mechanical permit from the City of Sarasota or Sarasota County, depending on your address.
- New systems must meet the Florida Building Code and the 14.3 SEER2 federal minimum for the Southeast.
- Outdoor units must be anchored for Florida hurricane wind loads, and some coastal areas have elevation rules.
- Our state-licensed and insured installation partners handle the permit and final inspection.

“Wow! They did amazing from start to finish. We needed a new outdoor unit and they ended up replacing both the indoor and outdoor unit for a great price. Everyone else quoted us thousands more than them and they delivered excellent service and quality products.”

“I had them replace my HVAC system and they couldn't have come at a better time. The AC unit quit working during one of the hottest periods in July. They were there when they said they would and replaced the system in a timely fashion.”

“Was struggling with getting a AC at a good price and Miguel was very direct honest and bilingual, and I felt like I got a good deal and I would hire him again. I am going to recommend him to all my friends and family. Couldn't be happier.”

“Miguel made this hands down... the best experience I've ever received from a HVAC company. Great communication. Spoke to me in a way that I understood what was going on. Allowed me to feel involved every step of the way.”
