AC Installation in Fort Lauderdale, FL — Abraham AC
Need a new AC system in Fort Lauderdale? Abraham Air Conditioning has been installing and replacing AC systems across Broward County since 2003 — over 20 years of keeping Fort Lauderdale homes cool through Florida’s relentless heat. We’re local, licensed, and we’ll treat your home like our own.
Fort Lauderdale’s heat and humidity push AC systems hard. Here’s when replacement makes more sense than repair:
Your system is 12+ years old — at this point, efficiency drops and repair costs climb
Repair estimates exceed 50% of replacement cost
Your electric bills have been climbing every year
Your home never feels comfortable despite your AC running constantly
You have an R-22 refrigerant system (discontinued — extremely expensive to recharge)
You’re dealing with frequent, recurring breakdowns

Frequently Asked Questions: AC Installation Fort Lauderdale
How long does AC installation take in Fort Lauderdale?
Most Fort Lauderdale AC replacements are completed in 4–8 hours. New installations with ductwork can take 1–2 days. We work quickly because we know how brutal the Fort Lauderdale heat is without AC.
Do I need a permit for AC installation in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes — Broward County requires permits for AC installation. Abraham AC handles all permitting and inspections. Working without permits creates serious problems when you sell your home. We always do the job right.
What size AC do I need for my Fort Lauderdale home?
In Fort Lauderdale’s climate, proper sizing uses a Manual J calculation — your home’s insulation, windows, orientation, and occupancy all factor in. As a rough guide, most Fort Lauderdale homes need 400–500 sq ft per ton. But don’t go by rules of thumb alone — an oversized unit will short-cycle and leave your home humid and uncomfortable.
How long does a new AC last in Fort Lauderdale?
With annual maintenance, a properly installed AC in Fort Lauderdale typically lasts 12–18 years. Coastal locations (near the Intracoastal or beach) may see shorter lifespans due to salt air — ask us about coastal-rated equipment for Fort Lauderdale Beach-area homes.
Can I get FPL rebates on a new AC in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes! FPL (Florida Power & Light) offers rebates on qualifying high-efficiency systems. Some homeowners receive $100–$500+ back. We’ll help you identify and claim any available rebates with your new installation.
