Air leakage, measured
A calibrated fan holds the house at 50 pascals and tells us exactly how much air it loses — 1,595 CFM on this one. Leakage is why some homes never cool no matter how big the unit is.

Anyone can tell you your system is weak. These are the readings we take before we quote anything — real numbers off real jobs.

80.1° going into the system, 58.1° coming out — a 22-degree split, right where it belongs. When that number drops, we know where to look before we open anything.
Digital manifold readings on the refrigerant circuit, and a proper vacuum pulled before any charge goes in. Skipping this step is what shortens a compressor's life.
Sometimes the honest answer is that the unit is done. When that happens we say so, and we do the whole job — including the damage the old system left behind.
The closet on the right had a rusted pan and years of water in the framing. It got a new platform, new drywall and a new system, not a unit dropped on top of the problem.
Before and after on the same closet.
A frozen coil points to an airflow or refrigerant problem. Ignoring it turns a service call into a compressor replacement.
That's a moisture and airflow warning, not a cleaning problem. It needs a professional inspection.
Dirty filters restrict airflow, force the system to work harder, and drive your power bill up.
Blocked drain lines cause water damage long before they cause a breakdown.
A new system in Florida needs a permit and a passed inspection. If a quote doesn't include that, ask why.
How the process works after we install — and the thing that surprises everyone: the inspector doesn't give you an arrival time.

Why a permit is required, who has jurisdiction over your address, and what unpermitted work costs you later.
Read the requirementsTwo systems can cool a house and still not be the same job. Here is one of ours, in the space the old unit came out of.
Level, sealed, supported
New threaded rod and support rail, hung level. The plenums resealed where the old ones had been leaking air and growing mold along the seams.
The drain, done right
New condensate line with a proper trap, a float switch that kills the system before water reaches your ceiling, and a pump where gravity won't do it.
It looks finished
Line set insulated end to end, wiring secured, labels readable, nothing left hanging. You should be able to look at it and tell it was done by somebody who cared.
