Most Florida homeowners only replace an air conditioner once every 10 to 14 years—which makes it hard to know whether a $12,500 contractor estimate is fair or packed with $6,000+ of hidden equipment markup. Before you sign a high-pressure financing contract, send us the quote. In minutes, we will show you what the exact same tonnage and SEER2 equipment actually costs at our published online prices.
📱 How to Get Your Free Quote Audit Right Now
- Snap a photo or screenshot of your written contractor estimate (or the metal rating plate on your current outdoor unit).
- Text it to (239) 266-9766 or email it to sales@hvacsupplypro.com (feel free to cross out your street address if you prefer).
- Get a plain-English breakdown: We reply with (a) whether the quoted outdoor and indoor models are a genuine AHRI-certified match, (b) our published online price for the equivalent Trane, RunTru by Trane, or Everwell system, and (c) the implied installation labor markup in your quote.
What We Check on Every Quote
- 1. Real Published Equipment Cost vs. Bundled Quote: For example, a 3.0 Ton 14.3 SEER2 R-454B complete split system costs $2,918 (Everwell), $4,030 (RunTru by Trane), or $4,695 (Trane 5TTR4) on our site, plus $349 flat liftgate freight delivery anywhere in Florida (and $100 off with code WELCOME100). If your quote is $12,800 for a single-stage 3-ton unit, you are being charged over $8,000 for a one-day installation.
- 2. True AHRI Certification Match: Some quotes list an outdoor condenser SEER2 rating without specifying whether the paired air handler achieves that certified rating together. We run the exact model numbers against our 119 published AHRI pairings.
- 3. R-454B / R-32 Refrigerant & Electric Heat Strip Sizing: We check whether the quote includes the right electric heat kit (5 kW, 7.5 kW, or 10 kW) for your breaker size and whether unnecessary "UV packages" or inflated pad fees were padded onto the bill.
