What We Do

AC Installation across SWFL.

When your AC is on its last leg or you're starting fresh in a new build, a proper installation is the difference between a system that runs for 15+ years and one that fails in 5. Sage installs SEER-rated cooling systems matched to your home's square footage, ductwork, and insulation — not just whatever's on the truck. We pull permits, install to manufacturer spec, and stand behind every system we put in.

Signs You Need This

When to call us.

AC is 12+ years old

Most residential AC units in Florida last 10-15 years. If yours is past that mark and starting to act up, replacement usually costs less long-term than repeated repairs.

Repair quote is over half the cost of a new system

The 50% rule: if a repair quote is more than half what a new system costs, replacement is the smarter financial move.

Energy bills keep climbing

Older systems lose efficiency every year. A new SEER-rated unit can cut cooling costs by 20-40%.

Rooms are hot, cold, or never just right

Improperly sized or aging systems can't keep your home evenly comfortable. The right install fixes this from day one.

R-22 (Freon) system needing recharge

R-22 has been phased out and is now extremely expensive. If your system needs more, the math almost always favors replacement.

Frequent breakdowns in peak summer

If you're calling for repairs every cooling season, the system is past its prime.

How It Works

Our process.

01

Free in-home consultation

We measure, assess your ductwork, ask about your priorities (efficiency, quiet operation, dual-zone), and quote — no pressure, no commission games.

02

Permit + system order

We pull the Lee/Collier/Charlotte County permit on your behalf and order the system. Most installs scheduled within a week.

03

Install day

One or two licensed techs handle removal, install, refrigerant charge, and startup testing — typically same day for residential.

04

Final inspection + walkthrough

Inspector verifies code compliance. We walk you through your new thermostat, filter location, warranty, and our annual tune-up plan.

Common Questions

The short answers.

How long does an AC installation take?

Most residential single-system replacements take 4-8 hours start to finish. New construction or full system + duct overhauls can take 1-2 days.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. Florida law requires permits for AC installs, and we pull them for every Lee, Collier, and Charlotte County job. The cost is included in your quote.

What brands do you install?

We install Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman — among others. We help you pick based on your home, budget, and how long you plan to stay.

How big of a system do I need?

It depends on your home's square footage, insulation, sun exposure, and ductwork. We do a proper Manual J load calculation rather than guessing by 'one ton per 500 sq ft.'

Do you offer financing?

Yes — we work with multiple lenders to offer 0% APR options for qualified buyers, with terms from 12 to 60 months.

What about the old system?

We haul it away and dispose of it properly, including any refrigerant recovery required by EPA.
