Mini split AC systems for Orlando, FL - ships from our Florida warehouse

Mini splits are an excellent choice for Orlando vacation rentals - particularly multi-zone systems for 3BR-6BR properties near Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld. Key advantages: (1) Each bedroom can be cooled independently, so guests control their own comfort without affecting other rooms. (2) During partial occupancy (e.g., 2 guests in a 4-bedroom home), only occupied rooms run, dramatically reducing energy cost. (3) No ductwork means no dust, allergen, or mold issues in the duct system - a common guest complaint in older Orlando vacation homes. (4) Mini splits are quiet, efficient, and require minimal maintenance compared to aging central systems. Vacation rental properties with mini splits consistently score higher on guest review platforms for comfort. Call 855-775-4822 to design a multi-zone system for your specific property layout.

Both Duke Energy (serving most of Orlando and Orange County) and OUC (Orlando Utilities Commission, serving downtown and select areas) offer rebates for qualifying SEER2-rated mini split heat pumps. To qualify: (1) Confirm your utility provider - check your utility bill header for Duke Energy or OUC. (2) The system must meet the utility's current SEER2 minimum threshold. (3) Installation must be performed by a licensed Florida CAC contractor who pulls the required permit. (4) The equipment must be purchased from an authorized dealer - that's us. All Cooper & Hunter, OLMO, and BRAVO systems we carry are ENERGY STAR certified and meet current SEER2 requirements. Visit duke-energy.com/rebates or ouc.com for current amounts. Call 855-775-4822 to confirm which model qualifies for your utility's current program.

Orlando sits in ASHRAE Zone 2A - slightly less extreme than South Florida's Zone 1A, but still very hot and humid from May through October. Use 18-22 BTU per square foot as your baseline, and size up for vacation rentals due to higher occupancy heat load. General sizing for Orlando vacation rentals: bedroom 300-450 sq ft → 9,000-12,000 BTU per room; living/dining common area 500-800 sq ft → 18,000-24,000 BTU; whole-home 3BR rental under 1,500 sq ft → 30,000-36,000 BTU total; 4BR-5BR vacation rental 1,500-2,500 sq ft → consider 36,000-48,000 BTU total, or a 4-5 zone multi-split system. For new construction in Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, or Windermere with modern insulation, stay at the lower end of the range. Use our free BTU Calculator or call 855-775-4822.

Yes. A mechanical permit is required for mini split installation in Orange County, Florida. Your licensed Florida CAC (Certified Air Conditioning) contractor pulls this permit through the Orange County Building Safety Division before any work begins. Post-installation inspection by the county building inspector is required to close the permit. This is particularly important for vacation rental property owners - unpermitted HVAC installations can affect your Orange County short-term rental license and complicate insurance claims. We provide full product documentation, spec sheets, and equipment certification letters for your contractor's permit application package. Call 855-775-4822 to request documentation.
