When your old air conditioner can’t handle another Orlando summer, you need a new system installed correctly, priced upfront, and scheduled without the runaround. Halden Heating and Air Orlando has been installing residential cooling systems across Central Florida since 2004, and we’re built for homeowners who expect to book online, track their technician to the door, and see a locked written price before any work begins. Most AC Installation in Orlando run between $3,500 and $7,500 depending on system size, efficiency rating, and the complexity of the existing ductwork. Call (850) 695-3178 for a free estimate – a real person answers, 24/7, and you’ll get the price in writing before you commit to anything.
Andre Fuller leads our Orlando installation team with a simple standard: every job includes a written price before work starts, a written guarantee on the finished install, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that gives you a full year of accountability on the completed system. We service major brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Goodman. When you book with us, you get a live arrival time you can track to your door – not a four-hour window and a vague “we’ll be there sometime today.”
Furnace Installation
Furnace Installation means replacing or installing a gas or electric furnace that heats your home during Orlando’s cooler months, typically December through February when overnight temperatures dip into the 40s. Most Orlando homes pair a furnace with an AC coil and blower as one combined system, so a furnace install often happens alongside an AC Installation in Orlando replacement. Halden Heating and Air Orlando installs furnaces with the same locked written price and 365-Day Done Right Promise we put on every cooling job. Expect to pay between $3,500 and $7,500 for a furnace and coil replacement depending on the furnace’s efficiency rating and the condition of your existing ductwork.
Gas Furnace Replacement
Older Orlando homes in neighborhoods like College Park and Delaney Park often run natural gas furnaces that are 15 to 20 years old and losing efficiency. We’ll inspect the heat exchanger, flue, and gas connections before recommending a replacement, and every quote includes the written price before we start.
Electric Furnace Upgrades
If your home runs on an electric furnace, switching to a high-efficiency heat pump can cut winter heating bills by half or more while still using your existing ducts. We walk through both options in plain English, with dollar figures attached, so you decide based on real numbers.
Styles & brands we work with
HVAC Installation
HVAC Installation refers to the full heating, ventilation, and air conditioning package: the outdoor condenser, indoor evaporator coil, blower, thermostat, and the connections that tie everything together. When your AC is old enough that repairs cost more than half a replacement, a full HVAC install in Orlando typically runs $3,500 to $7,500 and includes new refrigerant lines, a matched coil, and a system properly sized for your square footage. Halden Heating and Air Orlando handles the whole job: load calculations, equipment ordering, permits where required, installation, and a final walkthrough with before-and-after photos.
Matched Systems, Not Mix-and-Match
We never pair a new outdoor unit with an old mismatched indoor coil. That shortcut kills efficiency and voids manufacturer warranties, and it’s surprisingly common in this market. Our installs are matched sets with full OEM support.
Duct Assessment Included
Before we quote an HVAC installation, we check your existing ductwork for leaks, collapsed sections, and undersized runs. In older Orlando homes, leaky ducts waste 20 to 30 percent of the air you’re paying to condition, and we’ll show you exactly what we found.
Heat Pump Installation
Heat Pump Installation means putting in a system that both cools and heats your home by moving heat instead of generating it, which makes it the most efficient option for Orlando’s climate. Because our winters rarely dip below freezing, a heat pump handles both jobs all year and usually costs $3,500 to $7,500 installed, depending on the SEER2 rating and whether you’re replacing existing equipment or adding new ductwork. Halden Heating and Air Orlando installs heat pumps from Carrier, Trane, and Goodman, and we’ll explain the seasonal performance differences in plain language before you choose.
Why Heat Pumps Fit Orlando Weather
Orlando’s mild winters mean a heat pump runs efficiently year-round without the fuel costs of a gas furnace. You get one system doing two jobs, and you’re not paying for a heating source you’d only use a few weeks each year.
High-SEER Options That Earn Rebates
We’ll run the numbers on high-efficiency heat pumps that qualify for utility rebates through OUC and Duke Energy. The rebate paperwork is handled as part of your install, and the price on your written quote already reflects any incentives you’re eligible for.
Ductless Mini Split Installation
Ductless Mini Split Installation puts individual wall-mounted cooling units in specific rooms, each connected to a slim outdoor condenser without needing ductwork at all. In Orlando, mini splits are the go-to solution for enclosed patios, garage conversions, and older homes in areas like our AC Installation in Winter Park and Audubon Park where running ducts isn’t practical. A single-zone mini split install starts around $3,500, while multi-zone systems that cool three to four rooms land in the $5,000 to $7,500 range. Halden Heating and Air Orlando installs mini splits from top brands including Daikin and Mitsubishi, with the same written price guarantee.
Single-Zone vs. Multi-Zone
A single indoor unit handles one room and costs the least. If you’re cooling a whole addition or a converted garage apartment, a multi-zone system with two to four indoor heads gives each room its own temperature control and costs more up front but uses less energy than window units.
No Ductwork, No Problem
Homes without existing ducts – think 1950s block construction or a converted upstairs – are perfect for mini splits. We’ll mount the indoor unit, run the slim refrigerant lines, and wire everything in a day, with a clean indoor and outdoor finish.
AC Replacement
AC Replacement means removing your old, inefficient central air conditioner and installing a new, properly sized unit that can keep up with Orlando’s 90-plus-degree summers without running constantly. If your current AC is 10 to 15 years old, uses R-22 refrigerant, or has needed multiple repairs in the last two years, replacement usually makes more financial sense than another fix. Orlando homeowners can expect to pay $3,500 to $7,500 for a full AC replacement depending on the system’s tonnage, SEER2 rating, and the condition of your existing ductwork. Halden Heating and Air Orlando replaces systems from Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Goodman, and every install comes with the written price before work starts and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Repair vs. Replace Math
There’s a simple rule we share with every homeowner: multiply the repair cost by the unit’s age in years. If that number is higher than the cost of a new system, replacement is the better use of your money. We’ll show you the math during the estimate and let you decide.
Efficiency Ratings Explained
SEER2 is the rating that tells you how efficiently a system converts electricity into cooling. A 14 SEER2 unit costs less up front and a 17 SEER2 unit saves you more on every OUC bill. We price both options on every quote so you can see the real numbers.
Central Air Conditioning Installation
Central Air Conditioning Installation covers the complete install of a ducted cooling system: the condenser outside, the evaporator coil inside, the copper refrigerant lines, the condensate drain, and the electrical connections that all work together to cool your entire Orlando home from one thermostat. Most central AC installs in Orlando cost between $3,500 and $7,500, driven by the unit’s cooling capacity, the SEER2 efficiency rating, and whether the job is a like-for-like swap or requires duct modifications. Halden Heating and Air Orlando handles central air installation from initial load calculation to final inspection, with your written price locked before the first tool comes out of the truck.
Correct Sizing Is Everything
Oversized AC units short-cycle, which means they cool the air too fast to remove humidity, leaving your home clammy and musty. Undersized units run all day and never hit the set temperature. We run a Manual J load calculation on every install, not a rule-of-thumb guess.
Condensate Drain Upgrades
Florida humidity means your AC pulls gallons of water out of the air every single day. We install primary and secondary condensate drains with safety switches, so if a line clogs, the system shuts off before your ceiling gets soaked. It’s a small detail that saves thousands in water damage.
Brands We Service
At Halden Heating and Air Orlando, we service and install equipment from Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Goodman. Carrier units are known for their quiet operation and strong humidity control, which matters a lot in Florida’s muggy climate. We’ve installed hundreds of Carrier systems across Orlando and stock their OEM filters and replacement parts.
Trane builds units with a reputation for durability, and we routinely see Trane systems in Orlando running past 15 years with regular maintenance. Lennox offers some of the highest SEER2 efficiency ratings on the market, which translates directly to lower monthly bills during a Florida summer. Goodman gives Orlando homeowners a solid value at a lower upfront cost, and we install them with the same written guarantee as every premium brand. Whether you have a Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, or any other make, we can help you choose the right replacement.

- Your AC is blowing warm or room-temperature air. This usually means a refrigerant leak, a failed compressor, or a frozen coil. Running the system in this state can cause further damage, so call us at (850) 695-3178 and we’ll send a tech with a live arrival time.
- You hear grinding, squealing, or banging from the outdoor unit. These are mechanical failure sounds – a failing motor bearing, a broken compressor mount, or a damaged fan blade. Ignoring them turns a $200 repair into a $4,000 replacement.
- Your electric bill doubled month over month without a change in usage. A system that’s losing efficiency works longer and harder to hit the same temperature. In Orlando’s summer heat, that inefficiency shows up fast on your OUC or Duke Energy bill.
- The unit runs constantly and still can’t cool below 78 degrees. Continuous operation without reaching the set point is a classic sign of low refrigerant, dirty coils, or an undersized unit. The longer it runs, the faster components wear out.
- You see ice forming on the indoor coil or refrigerant lines. Ice means restricted airflow or a refrigerant problem. It’s not “normal Florida humidity” and turning the unit off now can save you from a complete system failure later.

How Much Does AC Installation Cost in Orlando?
A typical AC Installation pricing in Orlando runs $3,500 to $7,500, and the final number depends on three main factors: the system’s cooling capacity measured in tons, the SEER2 efficiency rating, and the condition of your existing ductwork. A like-for-like swap of a basic 3-ton, 14 SEER2 system lands at the lower end, while a jump to a 5-ton, 17 SEER2 unit with duct sealing and modifications lands at the higher end. Orlando’s specific market conditions also matter: our summer install demand peaks May through August, so scheduling a replacement in spring or fall can mean more scheduling flexibility and sometimes better equipment pricing.
A few things can shift your price above or below that range. If your home needs a new electrical disconnect, a condenser pad, or updated condensate drain lines, those line items appear on your written quote. If you’re moving from a heat pump to a gas furnace and AC combo, the gas line work adds cost. The way to avoid overpaying is simple: get a written, line-item quote before agreeing to any work, and make sure the quote specifies the exact model numbers for the condenser, coil, and blower. Our free estimates include all of that, plus a load calculation and a duct assessment. Call (850) 695-3178 and you’ll have real numbers in hand before you decide.

Every Halden Heating and Air Orlando installation is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if anything isn’t right within the first year, we come back and make it right at no charge. The manufacturer’s parts warranty (typically 10 years on the compressor when registered) is handled as part of your install paperwork. The written guarantee isn’t an add-on – it’s included with every job.
Clear a path to the indoor air handler, the outdoor condenser, and the thermostat so the tech has unobstructed access. If you have pets, keep them secured in a separate room while the install crew works. Plan for the power to the HVAC system to be off for several hours, and make sure an adult is home during the install if the breaker panel is inside the garage.
