What moves the price.
System size (tonnage)
A correctly sized system comes from a load calculation, not square footage alone — oversizing causes humidity problems and shortens equipment life.
Efficiency (SEER2)
The jump from builder-grade to high-efficiency SEER2 equipment adds up front but pays back in monthly bills, especially where AC runs most of the year.
Ductwork & extras
Duct repairs or replacement, new lines, thermostat upgrades, and surge protection are the add-ons that separate a low quote from a complete one.
The Bonita Springs factor.
Permits & code
Lee, Collier, and Charlotte County building departments issue the permits, and post-Ian rebuilding tightened inspections on roofing, windows, and flood-zone work across Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Naples.
Climate & materials
Hurricane Ian (2022) reset this market: flood-zone elevation rules and 150+ mph design speeds apply along the coast, and insurers increasingly require wind-mitigation documentation.
The market
Rebuild demand still outpaces crew supply in patches of Lee County, which is why quotes here run roughly 10% above the national line — booking earlier in the week matters.
