Complete cooling systems designed from the ductwork up - new construction, home additions, and full upgrades. Manual J/D/S, AHRI-matched gear, permit, and commissioning, with Tony or Jon Luke on the job.
Designed from the ductwork up.
AC installation in Orlando from Father and Son for new construction, home additions (Florida rooms, garage conversions), and system-upgrade scenarios. Different from replacement - installation is for properties without existing equipment or undergoing major changes. Our process: Manual J load calc, Manual D duct design, Manual S equipment selection, permit pull, installation per manufacturer guidelines, commissioning, AHRI certificate, and warranty registration. Tony or Jon Luke is on the job, not a subcontracted crew. CAC1823678 licensed.

Installation is different from replacement. A replacement swaps a failed or aging system for a new one in a home that already has working ductwork and a known cooling load. Installation means the load, the ducts, or the equipment footprint is changing - or doesn't exist yet. Here's where we come in.
We install complete systems for new homes and light-commercial buildings, working from the blueprints and coordinating with your general contractor so the air handler, condenser, and duct runs are sized and roughed-in at the right stage of the build.
Adding a Florida room, converting a garage, or finishing a sunroom changes your home's cooling load. We run a fresh Manual J on the new square footage and either extend the existing system or add a dedicated zone or mini-split so the new space actually holds temperature in summer.
If you're running an older R-22 system where remaining reclaimed refrigerant is limited, costly, and no longer practical to keep topping off, converting to a modern R-454B system sized correctly for the home is usually the better path. If you already have a working system you simply want swapped out, that's a replacement - see our AC replacement in Orlando, where we lay out the honest repair-versus-replacement math.
We retrofit single-zone homes into multi-zone systems with dampers or separate equipment, so a two-story home or a bonus room over the garage stops fighting the thermostat.
We convert straight-cool systems to heat pumps, adding reversing-valve heating that handles Orlando's occasional cold snaps without electric strip heat running full time.
Every installation follows the same sequence - load calculation, equipment spec, permit, manufacturer-spec installation, and commissioning - with an AHRI certificate and a registered warranty at the end.
We install eight manufacturer lines and spec the one that fits the home, the load, and the budget - not whatever happens to be on the truck.
Which brand is right depends on your budget, your efficiency target, and how long you plan to stay in the home. We'll walk you through it without steering you toward the highest-margin box.
Installing in Central Florida isn't the same as installing up north - a few realities drive how we size and set every system here.
Central Florida summers bring persistent high humidity, so we size and select coils for latent load - pulling moisture out of the air - not just for raw temperature. A system sized only for sensible cooling leaves a house cold and clammy.
The outdoor unit sits on a hurricane-rated pad and gets tied down per code, so it stays put in a named-storm wind event.
New equipment lines are transitioning to R-454B, the current low-GWP refrigerant being adopted as R-410A is phased down. We confirm the correct refrigerant for the specific equipment selected, so you know what your system will be serviced on for its life.
Air handlers often live in attics that hit 130°F-plus in summer. That heat stresses equipment and ages it faster, so placement, line-set insulation, and condensate routing get attention here that a northern install never needs.
Florida sits in the federal Southeast region, where new split-system ACs under 45,000 BTU must meet SEER2 14.3 (equivalent to 15 SEER); larger split systems and packaged units carry their own minimums. We spec at or above that floor - never below.
Layered coverage - the manufacturer's parts warranty, plus our own workmanship warranty on the labor that's actually in our hands.
Three layers · tap to explore
Most of the brands we install carry a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty when the system is registered inside the manufacturer's window - and we handle that registration for you so the full term is secured. Terms vary by brand and by model, so we'll tell you exactly what your specific system carries before you sign off.
As an authorized Goodman dealer, we manage Goodman warranty registration and the warranty-labor paperwork with Goodman on your behalf. If you're installing a Goodman system, read our Goodman warranty coverage details for the full picture on how labor handling works.
On top of the manufacturer's coverage, Father and Son layers our own workmanship warranty on the installation labor - the part of the job that's actually in our hands. You can also read our full warranty details to see how the layered coverage fits together.
New build, addition, or system upgrade - the first step is a load calculation and a real quote, since installation pricing is project-specific. Get on the schedule with Tony or Jon Luke. Need to spread the cost? Synchrony financing is available, including a 0% promotional plan for 25 months.
