Heating and cooling in Pine Hills
Pine Hills is a Census-designated place, and Orange County's Permitting Services office handles its permits. The office is on the first floor of the Orange County Administration Center, 201 S. Rosalind Ave, Orlando, and answers at (407) 836-5550 or PermittingServices@ocfl.net. Filing is online in Fast Track. The county's storm page gives daily hours of 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., while the Division page says service inside the Administration Building is by appointment only for informational meetings.
In Orange County's directory of fees for FY 2026-2027 (effective 10/1/26), swapping or moving an existing condenser or air handler costs $6.00 per ton, with a $39.00 minimum. Full installs follow tonnage. A full installation, with heat pumps and ducts counted in, starts at $77.00 for up to 3 tons. Refrigeration, ductwork, hoods, ventilation and boilers are priced by valuation: $39.00 for the first $1,000, then $10.00 per additional $1,000 to $25,000.
Per the Division, the county abides by the Florida Building Code in its current version and also enforces the Orange County Code of Ordinances and the National Electrical Code. That version doesn't carry an edition year. State law's $7,500 permit exemption for single-family owners leaves mechanical work out. Owners occupy 55.4% of Pine Hills' occupied homes, and the median year built is 1980 (ACS 2020 to 2024). In a single-family home, replacing an existing condenser or air handler with no wiring update is a flat $39.00.

Nobody's given us a quote for work in Pine Hills yet, so this page can't show a city price. The Florida page lists the estimates with what technicians earn (the Florida mean in May 2025 BLS wage data is $27.55 an hour, which is their pay, not your price) and some city and county permit fees. How we estimate costs.
Permits for heating and cooling work in Pine Hills
Florida cities and counties issue the permit for replacing an air conditioner, heat pump or furnace, and each sets its own fee; the state's $7,500 small-job permit exemption leaves out mechanical work. DBPR certifies or registers the air-conditioning contractor, so ask for that license number as well as what your permit office needs.
