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.

Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in Florida can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our heating and cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.

- Hearing an unusual noise
- Feeling warm air coming from your vents

Great follow up with Patty Harris. She was friendly, answered all my questions and added to the overall good experience. So far fast, efficient service done by people with integrity.”
“It was a great experience working with Paradise folks Noah and Patty. Technician Noah was very professional, polite, thorough and helpful in every way, and he also educated me on the air conditioning system’s functioning and maintenance. It was a pleasure working with him, and will be happy to recommend Paradise, and in particular Noah, to my friends, neighbors and associates.”
“Patty energy is contagious, she is a great customer service representative that takes such pride in her work and she is so great with the clientele.”
“Just moved to Coral springs and I had no idea who to use to replace our water heater. Look at the reviews and spoke to Patty to schedule an appointment. Patty was the most personable person and really made me feel confident in the company. I had my water heater replaced with Paul the next day and asked if they did AC work which he replied yes, so back to Patty and set up an appointment the next day. 4 days later Louis and Xavier had installed 2 2 ton units, 1 4 ton unit and a pool heater. The workmanship was perfect. I highly recommend Paradise.”
“Ja’Niaja took my call and said someone would call me back shortly. I received a call from Patty who scheduled my appointment. Very courteous and attentive to ensure the appointment.”
“Mark did a great job. arrived on time; was knowledgeable and courteous; cleaned up well. Patty was her usual enthusiastic self and on the ball!”
“Mario & Rodney were efficient in getting the job done and cleaned up after. Patty was great in the communication process and checking up to make sure everything was satisfactory. Great experience from start to finish.”
“Paradise did my water heater and noticed a problem with my old AC leaking. Raymond came out and quoted me on replacement. Raymond explained everything to me and was extremely professional. The next day a whole new system was installed by Louis which did an amazing job.
Thanks
Charlie”
“Deshawn was a darling! Very pleasant and got the job done. He knows what he's doing.
I spoke to Patty today about another service and she made an appointment for me at my convenience. She was quick to get in touch when I asked Deshawn a question about installing a disposal.”
“Patty and Mark were excellent. Patty was extremely helpful. Mark spent extra time to make sure he was giving me the right analysis and answer questions. Very patient because it was not only me, but also my neighbor. My neighbor and myself will be having a plumber from Paradise come tomorrow.”
