Family Air Experts installs and replaces air conditioning across Jensen Beach and the Hutchinson Island side, from Pinecrest Lakes and Pineapple Plantation to Jensen Park Estates, Skyline Drive and the Jensen Beach Country Club. With the lagoon on one side and the Atlantic on the other, almost nothing here sits outside the salt carry, which makes coil selection a real decision rather than an upsell.

Signs It Is Time to Replace Your AC
A system rarely fails overnight. These are the signs it is moving out of repair territory. On a condenser that has taken salt from two directions, the outside of the unit often tells the story before the thermostat does.
Warm air at the vents
It runs all afternoon and still cannot hold the setting on a hot day.
Weak airflow
Airflow that a service visit restores for a few weeks and then does not.
Short cycling
Cooling that arrives in short bursts and stops again, returning that way after each repair.
Water near the air handler
Drain and coil trouble coming back on a system that has had it before.
Ice on the line set
Ice on the line set after a recharge, which on forty-year-old equipment means a leak rather than a top-up.
Humidity that will not drop
Humidity that will not clear even when the thermostat reads right.
A power bill that jumped
Power bills climbing year on year while nothing about the property has changed.
New noises
Noises getting worse rather than holding steady, often the first sign on a condenser that has been taking salt from both sides.

What Our Installation Customers Say
Here is what Jensen Beach homeowners say after we have installed for them.
What a New AC System Costs and How We Quote It
A new system is quoted as one number covering equipment, labor, the permit and the inspection, and you see it before anything is ordered. Coil selection is set out at the same time, because on this stretch it changes both the price and how long the system lasts.
Clearly and transparently
One figure covering equipment, labor, the county permit and the inspection, agreed before anything is ordered.
Sizing comes first
We size the system to the house rather than copying the label off the old unit, which in Martin County is what the Manual J requirement exists to enforce. In a manufactured home the sizing conversation starts from a different place again.
What makes one big or small
Efficiency level moves the price most, then the size of the system, then the coil specification and whether the duct work needs attention. Here the coil is not the line to trim.
When repair stops making sense
When a repair on an older system approaches what a replacement is worth, we put both numbers in front of you rather than steering you. A visibly corroded coil usually makes the decision for you, because capacity lost to corrosion does not come back.
Want a ballpark before you book an estimate? Call 772-971-8587 and tell us how close to the water you are and what the system is doing. We will tell you the range a property like yours usually lands in. See a free replacement estimate or financing options.

What Happens When You Book an Installation
Same-day service is usually available across all four counties when you call before too late in the afternoon. Here is exactly how the visit goes.
Call or Book Online
Tell us the house and what the current system is doing. We come out and measure rather than quoting over the phone.
We Text Ahead
You get the installers’ names and an honest arrival window on install day, not a four hour block.
Sizing Visit
We size the system to the house, look at the duct work and the electrical, and show you what we found before recommending equipment.
Price Before Work
You approve one price before anything is ordered. The permit and the inspection are ours to handle, not yours.
Install and Commission
We install, start up and commission the system, register the manufacturer warranty in your name, and walk you through it before we leave.
Watch a real AC Installation
Start to Finish, here’s how we do it.
AC Installation Across Jensen Beach
We install and replace complete residential cooling systems on every major brand, including the packaged units and manufactured-home equipment common around here. From the country club streets to the island condos, if it cools a Jensen Beach home we can size it, fit it and stand behind it.
Full System Replacement
Condenser, air handler, coil and line set replaced as a matched set, which is what the efficiency rating is based on and what FPL requires. This close to the water we specify the coil for the salt.
Ductwork Repair
A duct tightness test is required here, so the duct work gets looked at before the equipment is quoted. On a 1982 build that is usually where the losses are.
Permits and Inspections
Jensen Beach is unincorporated, so Martin County permits the work. The county also requires a Manual J load calculation and a duct tightness test on a new system. We pull the permit, take care of arranging both, book the inspection and see it signed off.
Surge Protection
Storm surges are what finish off the electrical side. Protection fitted at install costs a fraction of what it saves.
Thermostats and Controls
A new system deserves a thermostat that can actually run it, wired to the right equipment rather than whatever was on the wall.
Ductless Mini Splits
For additions, garages, workshops and rooms the ducts never reached properly.
Why Jensen Beach Systems Wear Out Early
A system in this climate does more work in ten years than the same unit would do in twenty up north. These four are why replacement comes sooner here.
Salt From Two Directions
The Indian River Lagoon on one side and the Atlantic on the other means there is no inland side of Jensen Beach to shelter in. Manufacturers put salt carry at up to two miles inland and this community sits inside that from both directions. A corrosion-resistant coil is worth specifying at install here more than almost anywhere else we work, and cosmetic corrosion is excluded from manufacturer warranties.
1980s Equipment on 1980s Ducts
A 1982 median build means most replacements here sit on duct work the same age as the house. The county duct tightness test will find it, which is a good thing, but it is better to know before the equipment is ordered than after.
A Mixed Housing Stock
Country club streets, island condominiums and manufactured homes sit within a few minutes of each other here, and they are three different installs. The condos bring closet access and association approval, the manufactured homes bring listed equipment and a different duct arrangement, and the detached houses bring attic ducts. We work out which one you have before quoting, not on the day.
Storm Exposure
Frances and Jeanne both came ashore at the south end of Hutchinson Island three weeks apart in September 2004, the same stretch of coast twice. Surge protection on a new system is inexpensive next to a control board.

Martin County | Stuart | Hobe Sound
Why Jensen Beach Homeowners Choose Us to Install
We are a family business in Fort Pierce, one county north, and a Lennox Premier Dealer. The people who quote your system are the people who install it, our installers are background checked, the price is agreed before anything is ordered, and we hold a Florida 252 certified license. More on why homeowners choose us.
The Family Clubs
Most manufacturers require documented annual service to keep a parts warranty valid, so the maintenance plan is not an upsell on a new system, it is what protects the coverage you just paid for. Once or twice a year, your choice, with priority scheduling and no overtime charges on select plans.
Financing Available
A new system is a planned purchase for most people rather than an emergency. Financing lets you match the payment to the savings instead of the invoice and on full system replacements, so you can spread the cost instead of putting off the fix.
What Our 252 License Means for Your Warranty
Family Air Experts carries a Florida 252 certified HVAC contractor license, the state level certification rather than a county registration. That is what lets us pull the Martin County permit that covers Jensen Beach, and it is what keeps your manufacturer parts coverage in force. Nearly every manufacturer requires licensed installation, and an unlicensed install can void coverage on day one.
You’re Not Locked in with Another Company
Not often mentioned, but the company that installed your unit, doesn’t have to be the one who processes the warranty. Family Air Experts holds a 252 License with the state of Florida, allowing us to handle any warranty claims from any HVAC Installer.
Your Manufacturer Warranty Stays Valid
Work performed by a 252 licensed contractor keeps your parts coverage intact. We document what we did and what we replaced, so there is a record when you need it.
We Handle the Claim Paperwork
If a covered part fails, [we file the claim with the manufacturer and you pay only labor]. Confirm exactly how we handle this before publishing.
F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new AC system cost in Jensen Beach?
Three things move the number: the size the house actually needs, the efficiency level you choose, and whether the duct work and electrical can support it. Here coil selection is a fourth, because a standard coil on a house taking salt from both sides is a false economy. Martin County also requires a Manual J and a duct tightness test, and we take care of arranging both. FPL pays $200 on a qualifying changeout at 15.2 SEER2 or above. Call 772-971-8587 and tell us about the property.
How long does an AC installation actually take?
Most straight changeouts are finished in a single day. Where a condominium association has to approve the work first, or the duct work needs attention, we tell you that up front rather than on the day.
Do you handle the permit and the inspection in Jensen Beach?
Yes, on every job. Jensen Beach is unincorporated, so the permit comes from Martin County. We pull it, arrange the load calculation and the duct test, book the inspection, see it signed off and register the manufacturer warranty in your name.
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
Under ten years old with a small part failure, repair it. Past fifteen, or facing a compressor or a leaking coil, replacement is usually the better spend. Here corrosion often settles it early, because a coil losing capacity to salt does not recover. A free estimate will tell you which side of it you are on.
Are you licensed and insured in Jensen Beach?
Yes. We hold a Florida 252 certified HVAC license and carry full liability insurance. That certification is also what keeps your manufacturer warranty valid. What the 252 license covers.
Does using a licensed contractor matter for my manufacturer warranty?
Not when a licensed contractor does the work. Most manufacturers require documented licensed service to keep parts coverage in force, which is exactly why an unlicensed handyman repair is a risk on a system still under warranty.
Do you work on brands other than Lennox?
Yes. We are a Lennox Premier Dealer, but our technicians service every major residential brand.
Is a corrosion-resistant coil worth it in Jensen Beach?
Here, usually yes, and we say that in very few places. Most coastal communities have an inland side to shelter in. Jensen Beach has the lagoon on one side and the Atlantic on the other, so the whole community sits inside the two-mile salt carry manufacturers describe. Compare that with Palm City, fifteen minutes west, where we would tell you not to bother.
Need to cool a smaller area?
Consider a Mini Split System from Family Air Experts!
Beat the heat with a high-efficiency ductless mini-split from Family Air Experts, your Jensen Beach cooling specialists.
