Is Your AC System Ready for a Florida Summer? Here’s How to Tell
Tavares, United States – April 29, 2026 / Lucas Air Conditioning and Heating, LLC /
Lucas Air Conditioning and Heating, a veteran-owned HVAC contractor headquartered in Tavares and serving Lake County since 2018, is urging Central Florida homeowners to schedule a new air conditioning system before summer temperatures make a failing unit a household emergency. The company offers residential and commercial AC installation throughout Lake County with next-day turnaround on most new system installs and free estimates on every job.
“Most homeowners wait until their system stops blowing cold air to call us — and by then it’s 95 degrees outside and every HVAC contractor in Lake County is fully booked,” said Cameron Lucas, owner and U.S. Army veteran. “The homeowners who call us in May get next-day installation, a full equipment walkthrough, and time to finance it properly. The ones who wait until July are calling us in a panic.”
Florida’s summer heat season places extreme demands on residential and commercial HVAC systems. Units that are more than 10 to 15 years old, running inefficiently, or requiring frequent repairs are far more likely to fail under peak load — precisely when a replacement is hardest to schedule and most disruptive to manage.
Free Estimates and Next-Day Installation
Lucas Air provides complimentary on-site estimates for all new system installations. During the estimate visit, a licensed technician assesses the property, determines the correct equipment size, and explains the differences between available system types — including split units, package units, and ductless mini-splits. The company’s goal is to have new systems installed the following day whenever possible.
“There’s no charge to come out and give a homeowner a real number,” Lucas said. “We tell them exactly what they need and exactly what it costs. If they’ve been quoted something different by another company, we’re happy to take a second look.”
The company installs all major equipment brands and carries access to OEM parts for fast completion. Both residential homeowners and commercial property managers are served, and the company has completed installations for apartment complexes, restaurants, and single-family homes throughout Lake County.
Financing Available Through KwikComfort
New HVAC installations are a significant investment, and Lucas Air offers financing through KwikComfort Financing to help homeowners manage the cost without delaying a necessary upgrade. Financing is available for both residential and commercial customers and can be applied for online or by calling the office directly.
