Free Second Opinion on Your HVAC Quote
Got a big repair quote, a system replacement estimate, or a "you have to do this today" pitch from another contractor? Call us. We'll come out, look at it, give you a straight answer. No pressure, no obligation, no charge.
What a Free Second Opinion Actually Is
A real Florida Air technician comes to your home, looks at the equipment, reads the other contractor's quote with you, and tells you what we'd do and what it would cost. That's it. We don't try to sell you anything on the visit. You can take our number and call whoever you want.
Truly Free
No service-call fee. No diagnostic charge. No fine print. The visit is free whether you hire us afterward or not.
No Upsell
We're not going to use the visit to pitch you a new system. If the other quote is fair, we'll say so. If it isn't, we'll show you why.
Honest Answer
You'll get a plain-English walkthrough of what's actually wrong and what it should cost. Bring the other paperwork; we'll read it with you.
When to Ask for a Second Opinion
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a call before you sign anything.
A Replacement Quote Over $7,000
System replacements run a wide range. Before you commit to a 4 or 5-figure number, it's worth seeing what another licensed contractor would price the same job at.
"You Need a Whole New System"
Sometimes that's true. Often it's a capacitor, a contactor, or a refrigerant charge. We'll tell you which one your situation actually is.
"It Has to Be Done Today"
High-pressure sales tactics are a red flag in any trade. A real emergency repair, sure, but a full replacement quote on the spot deserves a second look.
A Big Repair Bill on a Newer System
If your system is under 10 years old and someone just handed you a four-figure repair quote, it's worth checking the parts and pricing against what we'd charge.
Your Warranty Should Cover It
We're familiar with how ComfortMaker, RUUD, Lennox, Carrier, Trane, and Goodman handle warranty parts. We'll tell you whether you should be paying for that compressor at all.
The Diagnosis Doesn't Match the Symptoms
If the explanation didn't sit right with you, your instinct is probably worth listening to. We'll explain in plain English what we see.
How It Works
Call or book online.
Tell Rachel what's going on and when you got the quote. Have the other contractor's invoice or estimate handy if you can.
A real Florida Air tech shows up.
NATE-certified, in a marked truck, license CAC1823291. We schedule the visit at a time that works for you.
We look at the equipment and the paperwork.
Typically 20 to 30 minutes. We check what the other contractor said and look at what's actually going on inside the unit.
You get a straight answer.
We tell you what we'd do, what we'd charge for it, and whether the other quote looks reasonable. Then we leave. You decide who to call from there. No upsell on the visit.
Why We Do This for Free
Florida Air is family-owned. Wes runs the trucks. Rachel runs the phones. We're not a franchise and we're not chasing volume. Most of our work comes from neighbors telling other neighbors, so it costs us almost nothing to give an honest opinion to someone who was about to get talked into a bad deal.
A lot of the people who call us for a second opinion later become customers, sometimes that day, sometimes years later when their next system goes out. That's worked out fine for us so far. License CAC1823291, NATE-certified, fully insured.
Common Questions
Is it actually free, or is there a hidden fee?
Actually free. No service-call charge, no diagnostic fee, no "consultation" fee. We don't bill for the visit at all. The only thing we ask is that you let us into the home and let our tech look at the equipment for 20 or 30 minutes.
Will you try to sell me a new system on the visit?
No. That's the whole point. If we tried to upsell you on a free second opinion, the offer wouldn't mean anything. We'll tell you what we'd do and what it would cost. If you want to schedule us to do the work, we'll book that as a separate appointment.
Do you really do this even if I hire the other contractor anyway?
Yes. Most of the second opinions we give don't turn into immediate jobs. Some folks find out their quote was fair and go with the other company. That's fine. Knowing the truth is what matters. A lot of those folks call us a year or two later for something else.
What brands do you work with?
All the major ones. We install ComfortMaker and RUUD most often, with Lennox on premium upgrades, but we service Carrier, Trane, Goodman, and just about anything else that's likely to be in a Brevard County home.
Where do you serve?
Florida Air is based in Palm Bay 32905 and covers all four Palm Bay ZIPs plus Melbourne, West Melbourne, Indialantic, Satellite Beach, Viera, Rockledge, Cocoa Beach, and the rest of Brevard County. If you're outside Brevard, call and we'll let you know.
