About Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres is a large unincorporated community east of Fort Myers. It is the clearest example in the county of the 2000s building boom: 50% of its homes were built between 2000 and 2009 (Census ACS). A system installed with one of those houses is now 17 to 26 years old, so many owners here are deciding between one more repair and a replacement. Parts of Lehigh Acres are served by LCEC and parts by FPL. Repair or replace.
Homes and systems in Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres has about 41,605 housing units according to the Census ACS 2020 to 2024, with a median year built of 2005. Most homes here are newer: 63% were built in 2000 or later. Systems from the 2000s boom are now around 20 years old, and many use R-410A. The EPA lets existing R-410A systems be repaired, while a replacement will use one of the newer refrigerants. Repair or replace.
About 70% of occupied homes here are owner occupied, and 95% heat with electricity (Census ACS). In practice that means heat pumps or electric strips, so one system handles both seasons. Heat pumps.

Questions
Do you cover all of Lehigh Acres?
Yes, including ZIPs 33936, 33971, 33972, 33973, 33974, 33976. The company that calls you back will confirm your address is in their service area.
How fast can someone come out?
It depends on the day and the season, and right after a storm it can take longer. Say in your request if the house has no cooling and someone at home is elderly or unwell, and ask the company what they can do.
Do I get a price first?
Yes. The technician diagnoses the problem and gives you a price before starting any repair. Ask what the diagnostic or trip fee is when you book.
