AfterHVAC Company in Tice, FL
Most homeowners in Tice pay between $150 and $650 for AC repair and $150 to $700 for furnace repair, with tune-ups running $80 to $200. We’re Brandt HVAC, and we dispatch technicians to Tice from our Miami office who understand the split market here: post-Hurricane Ian rebuilds with new equipment alongside aging systems in older mobile homes that never got replaced. Call us at (984) 538-9003 and a live person will answer, day or night.
Why Tice Homes Are Different
Tice sits unincorporated in Lee County, just east of Fort Myers, and that single fact changes nearly every HVAC job we do here. Without a city building department, every permit and inspection routes through the county office in Fort Myers, which means longer wait times for replacement approvals and stricter wind-load documentation on post-Ian work than you’d face inside Fort Myers city limits.
The housing stock tells the rest of the story. Tice is packed with older mobile homes and manufactured housing alongside small concrete-block single-family homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s. These places weren’t designed for conventional split-system AC. You’re looking at package units on the roof or mini-splits on the wall, and where ductwork exists, it’s often deteriorated flex duct with insulation values so low the system runs almost nonstop from May through October.
Here’s the pattern our technicians see constantly in Tice: after Hurricane Ian, insurance covered roof replacements for thousands of homeowners, but many of those shiny new shingles sit directly over corroded, 10-to-15-year-old package units that were never touched. The roof looks brand new. The HVAC underneath is a failure waiting to happen. We end up having conversations homeowners didn’t expect to have.
The climate finishes the job. Southwest Florida’s wet-season humidity, June through September, pushes indoor latent loads past what undersized post-storm replacement systems can handle. And with 4,000 to 5,000-plus run hours annually, roughly double the national average, Tice compressors and capacitors wear out fast.
Our Main Tice Services
These are the three calls we run most often in Tice. Each has its own page with full pricing, what to expect, and how we handle the specific conditions here.
AC Repair in Tice
AC repair in Tice usually means capacitor failure, refrigerant leaks from corroded package units, or compressor strain from systems that have been running 12 hours a day since March. We carry capacitors and contactors for Rheem, York, and other common brands on every truck, and we see enough Daikin mini-splits in local mobile homes to stock parts for those too. Before we start any repair, you’ll get a written price. No exceptions. AC Repair in Tice
Furnace Repair in Tice
Furnace repair in Tice is less common than AC work, but when a cold front drops temperatures into the 40s, electric heat strips and gas furnaces in older manufactured homes fail under sudden demand. We check heat exchangers for cracks, test amp draw on heat strips, and verify safeties. Every repair comes with our written 365-Day Done Right Promise. Furnace Repair in Tice
AC Maintenance in Tice
AC maintenance in Tice isn’t optional, it’s survival planning. With systems accumulating twice the national average run hours, a neglected unit here dies years early. Our tune-ups include coil cleaning, refrigerant level check, electrical testing, and duct inspection. We document what we find in writing, and our technicians aren’t paid on what they sell you.

What keeps costs predictable: we give you a written, fixed price before any work starts, and that price doesn’t change unless you ask for additional work.

FAQs About HVAC Company in Tice
We typically have a technician to Tice the same day for AC repair calls, and our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day. For after-hours emergencies, we dispatch from our Miami office with ETA updates by text. Call (984) 538-9003 to check current availability.
No city permit, because Tice is unincorporated. All permits route through Lee County’s building department in Fort Myers, which has its own inspection timeline and wind-load requirements for post-Hurricane Ian replacements. We handle the paperwork and scheduling as part of any installation.
Constant running usually means undersized equipment, deteriorated flex duct leaking cooled air into the attic space, or both. Tice’s combination of high humidity and long cooling seasons overwhelms systems that were marginal to begin with. A tune-up lets us measure airflow and duct loss precisely, then show you what’s actually happening in writing.
