How long have you been in business?
Three generations of the Bertie family have kept North Central Florida cool since 1991. That is more than 35 years serving Gainesville and the surrounding area as a family-owned and operated contractor.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Bertie Heating & Air Conditioning is a Florida Certified AC Contractor under license number CAC058522, and the company is licensed and insured. Our technicians are factory trained and NATE certified, background check certified, and part of a drug-free workforce.
Do you charge for an estimate on a new system?
No. We provide free in-home estimates on new systems, and financing with pre-approval is available if you would rather spread the cost of a replacement over time.
Do you work on all brands?

What happens if my AC quits outside office hours?
Call (352) 331-2005. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and after-hours emergency service is available for cooling failures outside that window.
Why do you run a load calculation before quoting a system?
Because homes change. Additions, remodels, new insulation and new windows all change the size of system a house needs, and sometimes the ductwork has to be resized to match. On every replacement we start over as if it were a brand-new home and calculate the exact capacity your home needs in BTUs rather than guessing at a tonnage.
Why do you recommend inverter systems for Florida homes?
In Florida, comfort is about humidity as much as temperature. Inverter driven systems continuously adjust output instead of cycling on and off at full power, which means steadier temperatures, better humidity control, quieter operation, and lower energy bills.
