"ARS installed our Carrier mini split system 4 years ago, and it?s been nothing but scare tactics and upselling since. First it was the board, then the compressor, then they said we should just replace the entire system they installed. At one point, they told us a wire had burned up ? then the system magically worked 2 days later. Fed up, we hired a licensed third-party company. They replaced both OEM boards, fixed the communication issue, and confirmed the compressor was bad but under warranty. Later that SAME DAY, ARS came out and quoted us $2,289 (discounted to $1,831) ? including a brand-new inverter board that had just been replaced HOURS earlier. We paid $1,700 total elsewhere for boards, compressor, labor, and actual honesty. If lying about a brand new part doesn?t prove how shady they are, I don?t know what does. Get a second opinion. Don?t get taken advantage of."

FAQs for central a/c installation projects in Lakeland, FL
If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.
AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.
Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
