Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Fort Lauderdale, FL, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Paradise Plumbing, Air & Electric professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner?
Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:
Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of reacting when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
Experiencing more and more repairs
Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
Showing signs of running inefficiently
How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.
This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Florida home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.
If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our Paradise Plumbing, Air & Electric team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.
We also offer several financing options, with approved credit, to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

“Im going to give 5 stars for the excellent service provided by Jeffrey. He is very personable and knowledgeable and my A/C is running great.”
“I want to ensure you know that your air conditioning technician, Jeffrey Perry, is exceptionally professional and excellent in performing his job, as well as a dedicated problem solver. When Mr. Perry assessed my air conditioning situation and explained why the unit was not cooling, as well as what he was likely to do to fix it. He undertook his work and explained to me every step of the way what was happening, and in our initial circumstance, what was not working. He was about to give up when he spoke with my construction industry neighbors (who Mr. Perry knew from before) generated new ideas and put them to work. He successfully resolved the discharged line blockage. It seems the original builder laid the discharge lines poorly, as my pipe ended below the surface.
The most important item from the above was that Mr. Perry cared and did not want to leave me without air conditioning. It showed and you should be proud of him as a company representative.”
“Everytime I use this company they never dissapoint. My technician Fernando was so professional and he got me set up with a maintenance plan for all 4 of my AC units. I look forward to scheduling a service call soon. Thank you Fernando for keeping my house cool! I truly wish every company was like them!”

“Jeffrey Perry was very knowledgeable and professional – I'm very happy with the service provided and will definitely use Paradise again1”

“Lucca was courteous and professional!”
“Great job on the regular maintenance work”
