HVAC Estimating for Florida Contractors

Florida's extreme cooling loads — driven by year-round heat and humidity — make HVAC the single largest mechanical cost on most commercial and residential projects. The Florida Energy Code mandates high-SEER equipment, duct leakage testing, and Manual J load calculations on all new construction. Florida requires a Certified Air Conditioning Contractor (CAC) license through DBPR. Manual J load calculations are required for permit on all new residential HVAC installations.

Florida-Specific Scope Considerations

  • › Florida Energy Code requires SEER2 ≥ 15 on split systems and duct leakage ≤ 4 CFM25 per 100 sf
  • › High latent loads in South Florida require dedicated dehumidification systems in many occupancies
  • › Hurricane-rated equipment curbs and anchorage required per FBC for all rooftop units
  • › Corrosion-resistant coated coils specified in coastal markets to resist salt-air degradation
