Florida heating gets used two weeks a year — which is exactly why it fails on the first cold morning. Most Clermont homes heat with a heat pump plus electric heat strips, and most “no heat” calls trace to a handful of predictable parts.
No honest one-size range exists for this issue — the cause decides the price. Your pro diagnoses it for $50 and quotes firm before any work.
A pro finds the real problem on-site and writes a firm quote. That’s all you pay to start.
Labor + parts itemized in writing, plus a 5% service fee. The price you approve is the price you pay.
Why no range? Central Florida heat is mostly heat pumps and heat strips, and “no heat” can be a $150 control fault, a $200–$650 reversing valve, or a failing compressor — 2026 guides put typical HVAC repairs anywhere from $150 to $700+. No single number is honest across that, so the $50 diagnostic finds the cause first and the repair comes as one firm written quote.
A licensed pro accepts — you see their name and license number — and comes out to find the real problem. The $50 is your pro’s $40 visit charge plus Middleman’s $10 booking fee; that’s all you pay to start.
Labor, parts, and the 5% service fee, itemized in writing. Decline and owe nothing more — the visit even converts to a free second opinion.
Payment is held by Stripe and released only after you confirm completion — backed by your pro’s 30-day workmanship warranty.
Often normal — heat pumps deliver warm, not hot, air. But weak airflow, ice on the outdoor unit, or a system stuck in cooling mode are real faults worth a diagnostic.
A brief dusty smell on first use of the season is normal (dust burning off the heat strips). A persistent electrical or plastic smell is not — shut it down and book promptly.
A failed heating stage often signals a component your AC relies on too — and Florida code and comfort both say yes. The diagnostic keeps the decision cheap.
