AC Replacement in Kendall, FL: Right-Sized, Done Right
AC installation and full-system replacement across Miami and South Florida.
Kendall AC systems have a familiar story. The original heat pump or split was installed in 2008 or 2012, it has been limping along on capacitor swaps and refrigerant top-offs for years, the warranty quietly expired about the same time the kids stopped fitting in car seats, and the August power bill keeps creeping up by ten dollars a year. The system is still running. It is also two seasons away from a 95-degree afternoon you do not want to find out about the hard way.
We do full AC and HVAC replacement across Kendall, the Hammocks, Snapper Creek Lakes, Devon Aire, and the Kendall Drive corridor. Full system, right-sized to your house and ductwork, real install, code inspection. We do not do repairs or tune-ups; if your system has another five years in it, a repair company will be cheaper for you than we will be. When it is time for the replacement, we are here.
Right-sized, proper install, no horse-trading.
The Kendall housing stock and what it needs
Most Kendall single-family homes from the 1975 to 1995 build window are 1,800 to 2,800 square feet, single-story or two-story with the bedrooms upstairs. Original installs were single-stage 10 SEER systems; the second install around 2008 to 2012 was usually 14 to 16 SEER. The third install — what we do today — is variable-speed 16 to 20 SEER with proper duct evaluation.
Miami-Dade permits for mechanical work
Full AC and HVAC system replacements in Kendall pull a Miami-Dade County mechanical permit. We are the contractor of record. We pull, schedule the rough-in and final inspections, and close the permit at the end. No skipped permits; an unpermitted install becomes a real problem at resale or insurance claim.
Wind-rated condenser pads and HVHZ rules
Kendall sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Condenser units have to be installed on a code-compliant pad with proper tie-downs. We use galvanized hurricane straps or the manufacturer-approved tie-down kit, set the pad above grade per code, and route the line set with hurricane-rated supports.
Right-sizing the system, not upselling it
The number-one problem with Kendall AC systems is over-sizing. A 4-ton system on a house that needs 3 tons short-cycles, runs the compressor harder, and leaves humidity high. We do a Manual J load calculation (room-by-room) on every replacement so we install what the house actually needs, not what fits the rule-of-thumb.
Variable-speed and humidity control
Variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors run longer at lower output, which is exactly what South Florida humidity needs. The room feels cooler at the same thermostat setting because the air is drier. The compressor lasts longer because it is not cycling on and off all day. Energy use goes down. This is the upgrade that pays back.
Duct evaluation, not duct sales
Most Kendall homes do not need new ductwork. They need their existing ducts inspected for leaks, properly sealed at the boots and the air handler return, and the registers and grilles checked for proper sizing. We do that as part of the install. We will tell you if your ducts need replacement; if they do not, we will not invent a reason.
Refrigerant, fuses, condensate, and the small details
R-454B is the current low-GWP refrigerant for new installs as of the 2025 transition. We install with the new refrigerant on every new system. Condensate line gets a proper trap and a float switch. Disconnects, breaker, line voltage all to code. Service Finance and Renew Financial financing is available for qualified homeowners.

AC / HVAC in Kendall — FAQ
Still not sure? Call us at (786) 789-2912. We'll give you a straight answer.
Do you repair AC systems in Kendall?+
No. We only do full AC and HVAC system replacement. If your unit just needs a capacitor, a contactor, or a refrigerant recharge, a repair shop will be cheaper for you than we will. When it is time for the full replacement — typically a 12 to 15 year cycle in South Florida — we install the new system, properly sized, with permit and warranty.
How do you size the new AC for my Kendall home?+
We run a Manual J room-by-room load calculation: square footage, insulation, window orientation, ceiling height, occupancy. The result tells us the actual ton size your house needs, which is often smaller than what you currently have. Right-sizing matters because an oversized system short-cycles and leaves the air humid.
Do you pull a Miami-Dade permit for AC replacement in Kendall?+
Yes, every time. The mechanical permit pulls through the Miami-Dade County permit office. We schedule the rough-in and final inspections, and close the permit in your name at the end. An unpermitted AC install is an insurance and resale problem we do not put homeowners in.
