A new AC system in Jupiter has to handle year-round heat, humidity, salt-air corrosion on coastal homes, and hurricane-season storm preparation. First Aid Air Conditioning installs central AC systems, heat pumps, and high-efficiency variable-speed equipment across Jupiter every week. Family-owned, Florida-licensed, over a decade of experience.
We install across all of Jupiter: Abacoa, Jupiter Farms, the Indiantown Road corridor, the riverfront communities along the Loxahatchee, Jupiter Inlet Colony, Jupiter Island, and the coastal homes east of A1A. Every install gets sized to the specific home.
An oversized AC short-cycles, runs up your power bill, and never properly pulls humidity out of the air. An undersized AC runs constantly and can't keep up on the hottest days. We use Manual J load calculations on every install: actual cooling load based on square footage, ceiling height, insulation rating, window exposure, attic ventilation, and infiltration. The result is a system sized to your home, not to a rule of thumb.
For homes near A1A, on Jupiter Island, in Jupiter Inlet Colony, or along the Intracoastal, coastal-grade coil protection on the outdoor condenser is a near-mandatory upgrade. Salt air corrodes unprotected coils, shortens compressor life, and reduces cooling capacity as the corrosion spreads. We include coastal-grade treatment as part of installs in coastal Jupiter neighborhoods.
Surge protection at the electrical panel is the other coastal-Jupiter must-have. Jupiter sees significant lightning in summer, and a single surge can total a new install. A panel-level surge protector costs a few hundred dollars and pays for itself the first time it does its job.
Central AC: standard single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed systems from major brands. Variable-speed dehumidifies and runs quieter than single-stage equipment.
Heat pumps: a smart choice for Jupiter because they handle the few cold weeks each winter without needing a separate heat source. Modern variable-speed heat pumps cool efficiently and provide heating in the bargain.
High-efficiency variable-speed systems: the top tier of residential equipment. Higher upfront cost, lower power bills, better humidity control, longer equipment life.
Load calculation, equipment sizing, brand selection, removal and disposal of the old system, new outdoor condenser placement with coastal-grade protection where appropriate, indoor air handler swap, refrigerant line set, electrical disconnect upgrade to current code, smart thermostat install, surge protection install (recommended on coastal Jupiter homes), manufacturer warranty registration, 1-year workmanship warranty, full system commissioning, and follow-up service if anything needs adjustment.
Standard residential installs take four to eight hours on site. Coastal Jupiter installs with coil protection and surge devices can run slightly longer. Multi-zone installs and homes with complex ductwork run into a second day.
Standard central AC replacement in Jupiter runs $6,500 to $11,500 installed depending on tonnage, SEER2 rating, and duct condition. Heat pump replacements run $7,500 to $13,000. Variable-speed and coastal-grade equipment runs higher. We provide a free written, itemized quote after an in-home assessment.
Hearth financing available on qualified projects, with loans up to $250,000, no prepayment penalty, no home equity required, and no impact on your credit to see options.
