Your trusted home services company in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is Broward County’s largest city, incorporated in 1911 and known as the “Venice of America” for its 165 miles of navigable waterways. The housing reflects more than a century of layered growth: 1920s and 1930s historic homes in Sailboat Bend, Tarpon River, and Victoria Park, mid-century single-family streets in Coral Ridge, Imperial Point, and Wilton Manors-adjacent neighborhoods, the canal-front and yacht-club estates of Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista, and Harbor Beach, the high-rise corridors of Las Olas Boulevard, Downtown, and the A1A oceanfront, and newer townhomes near the FAT Village arts district and Flagler Village. Total Repair Pros has been keeping South Florida homes comfortable, safe, and running since 1970. Whether it’s a same-day Fort Lauderdale AC repair, Fort Lauderdale plumbing repair, Fort Lauderdale electrical repair, or Fort Lauderdale appliance repair, every call is answered by our local team and handled by an in-house licensed technician.
Because Fort Lauderdale housing is so layered and waterway-stitched, every neighborhood has its own MEP profile. As a result, canal-front and waterfront homes deal with salt-air corrosion and dock-side electrical, downtown high-rises bring condo-association coordination, Sailboat Bend and Victoria Park’s historic homes often still carry galvanized plumbing and 100-amp panels, and the inland Imperial Point streets need ongoing replacement of 1960s and 1970s builder-grade equipment. Meanwhile, the City of Fort Lauderdale handles its own permitting and HVHZ compliance. After more than 55 years in South Florida, we know how those conditions affect compressors, plumbing, panels, and major appliances, and what to do about it.
Whether you’re in a Las Olas Isles canal-front, a Downtown high-rise, a Victoria Park historic home, or a Coral Ridge mid-century, every job is handled by a licensed, background-checked Total technician (never a subcontractor).

Repair Services Total Offers in Fort Lauderdale, by Trade
Total is a true one-call home services company in Fort Lauderdale. Air conditioning, plumbing, appliance, and electrical work are all handled in-house by our own licensed technicians, never subcontracted. Here is what each looks like locally.
AC Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Total offers same-day AC repair across Fort Lauderdale, from the canal-front homes of Las Olas Isles and Rio Vista to the Galt Mile high-rises and the historic streets of Victoria Park. An in-house licensed technician diagnoses the system, hands you a flat-rate quote on site, and finishes most repairs in the same visit. Call (954) 900-6767.
What are the most common AC repairs in Fort Lauderdale homes and condos?
Because the city is stitched with 165 miles of waterways, salt-air corrosion reaches far inland, so corroded condenser coils, failed capacitors and contactors, and pitted disconnects are the repairs we see most. In waterfront homes and Galt Mile towers, clogged condensate lines and drain-pan overflows from constant humidity are close behind.
Why is my AC not cooling in my Fort Lauderdale home or condo?
An AC that runs without cooling usually means a low refrigerant charge from a corroded coil or leak, a salt-fouled condenser, a failed capacitor, or a frozen evaporator coil. In Downtown and Las Olas high-rises, a blocked condensate line can trip the safety float and shut the unit down. We confirm the exact cause before quoting any part.
Should I repair or replace an older Fort Lauderdale AC system?
If the system is under about 10 years old and the fault is a capacitor, contactor, or fan motor, repair is the right call. Once a waterfront Fort Lauderdale unit passes 12 to 15 years, runs R-22 refrigerant, or loses its compressor, replacement usually costs less over time, especially given how hard salt air is on coastal equipment. We lay out both numbers with no pressure.
Do you offer AC maintenance plans in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Our coastal maintenance visits include coil cleaning to fight waterway salt corrosion, drain-line clearing, and a full performance check that recovers years on canal-front and oceanfront systems. Covered AC repairs are also included in Total’s home warranty and service plans, so a breakdown is handled with no separate repair bill.
Plumbing Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Total handles single-family, waterfront, and high-rise plumbing across Fort Lauderdale, from Harbor Beach and Rio Vista estates to Sailboat Bend cottages and Downtown towers. Our licensed plumbers (CFC1432410) give flat-rate quotes and offer same-day service on active leaks and no-hot-water calls. Call (954) 900-6767.
What plumbing problems are most common in Fort Lauderdale homes and high-rises?
In the 1920s to 1950s homes of Victoria Park, Sailboat Bend, and Tarpon River, the most common problems are aging galvanized and polybutylene supply lines and failing water heaters. In Downtown and Galt Mile condos, shared riser and stack backups and worn in-unit supply lines dominate. We fix the immediate issue and flag the long-term one clearly.
Do you do drain cleaning and clear clogged main lines in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. For clogged drains and blocked main lines, we can snake, hydro-jet, and run a camera inspection to locate the blockage, whether it is roots in an older Victoria Park lateral or grease in a condo stack. We show you what the camera finds before recommending the next step.
Do you re-pipe historic Fort Lauderdale homes and detect hidden leaks?
Yes. Whole-home re-pipes are routine for us in Fort Lauderdale’s historic and mid-century housing, replacing corroded galvanized or failing polybutylene with modern lines. For hidden or slab leaks we locate the line before opening a wall or floor, pull the City of Fort Lauderdale plumbing permit, and keep the repair contained.
Appliance Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Total repairs kitchen and laundry appliances across Fort Lauderdale, including the high-end built-ins that fill Las Olas Isles, Harbor Beach, and Rio Vista estates. We service luxury brands like Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, and Thermador alongside all major standard brands, and carry common parts on the truck. Call (954) 900-6767 with your model number.
Which appliance brands do you repair in Fort Lauderdale?
We repair all major brands, from Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Frigidaire, Samsung, and LG to the premium Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Viking, Miele, and Fisher and Paykel units common in waterfront and yacht-club kitchens. Have your model number ready and we can confirm parts before we roll a truck.
How fast can you repair a refrigerator in Fort Lauderdale?
Refrigerator repair is our top same-day priority because food loss cannot wait. We stock common compressors, fan motors, control boards, and door gaskets on the truck, so most Fort Lauderdale fridge repairs are finished in a single visit rather than waiting on a parts order.
Do you service built-in and panel-ready appliances in Las Olas and waterfront homes?
Yes. Many Las Olas Isles and Harbor Beach kitchens run integrated, panel-ready, and column-style Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele units that need brand-specific handling to remove and reinstall without damaging custom cabinetry. Our appliance techs work on these built-ins regularly across Fort Lauderdale.
Electrical Repair in Fort Lauderdale
Total’s licensed electricians (EC0001244) repair, upgrade, and install electrical systems across Fort Lauderdale, including dock-side wiring on canal-front homes, permitted through the City of Fort Lauderdale Building Department and built to HVHZ wind-load code. Call (954) 900-6767.
What electrical work do you do in Fort Lauderdale homes and towers?
We handle panel upgrades, dedicated circuits, whole-home surge protection, GFCI and outlet work, dock and boat-lift wiring, lighting and ceiling fans, EV charger installs, and troubleshooting. On Las Olas Isles and Rio Vista waterfronts that means corrosion-resistant, GFCI-protected dock-side circuits; in Downtown towers it means safe work in shared electrical rooms and unit sub-panels.
Do you upgrade electrical panels in older Fort Lauderdale homes?
Yes. Many Victoria Park, Sailboat Bend, and Coral Ridge homes still run on original 60-amp or 100-amp fuse panels that cannot carry modern AC and EV loads. We assess the panel, pull the City of Fort Lauderdale permit, and upgrade it to current code. The homeowner signs the permit and is there for the final inspection.
Do you install and repair dock-side and boat-lift electrical in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Waterfront living means dock outlets, boat-lift motors, and landscape lighting that live in a salt environment. We install and repair these on GFCI-protected, corrosion-resistant circuits and add whole-home surge protection so a storm surge does not take out the panel with them.
Why Fort Lauderdale homes need a local specialist
Waterway-stitched city: salt air and dock-side electrical
Because Fort Lauderdale is built around 165 miles of canals and waterways, salt-laden air reaches almost every block, not just oceanfront. As a result, standard outdoor condenser coils, copper line sets, and electrical disconnects corrode noticeably faster here than they do further inland. Furthermore, canal-front and waterfront homes typically have dock-side outlets and lighting that need GFCI compliance and corrosion-resistant fittings. Specifically, for Las Olas Isles, Rio Vista, Harbor Beach, and other waterfront installs we specify factory-coated coils, stainless hardware, sealed disconnects, and corrosion-rated condenser pads as baseline.
Downtown and Las Olas high-rise work
Fort Lauderdale’s high-rise corridor along Las Olas Boulevard, Downtown, and the A1A oceanfront means dealing with building managers, condo-association approvals, freight elevator booking, scheduled water shutoffs, and after-hours rules. In addition, we handle that coordination in-house so your project stays on schedule and in good standing with the association. Many of these towers are now in Florida’s milestone inspection window.
Historic neighborhoods: 1920s through 1950s housing
Sailboat Bend, Tarpon River, Victoria Park, and parts of Coral Ridge have housing dating from the 1920s through the 1950s. As a result, original galvanized water lines, 60-amp and 100-amp fuse panels, and post-war wiring are still common. Furthermore, we document what we find without scare tactics and price honest repair-or-replace paths, including the larger services modern AC and EV loads demand.
Florida SB 4-D and the milestone inspection wave
Florida’s milestone inspection law (Senate Bill 4-D, passed 2022 after the Surfside tragedy) requires condo buildings 3 stories or taller to undergo structural milestone inspections at 25 years near the coast and 30 years inland, plus a Structural Integrity Reserve Study. For Fort Lauderdale’s oceanfront, Galt Mile, and Downtown condo towers, we coordinate AC, plumbing, and electrical work around the building’s inspection and reserve timeline.
Hurricane season prep (June through November)
Because hurricane season brings frequent grid instability, power surges from storms are the number one killer of HVAC control boards, refrigerators, and pool equipment. Therefore, for Fort Lauderdale homes we recommend a whole-home surge protector at the panel, a generator interlock or transfer switch, and updated grounding on older homes. All under City of Fort Lauderdale permits.
Local permits & HVHZ compliance
Building permits in Fort Lauderdale are issued by the City of Fort Lauderdale’s own Building Department. The city enforces Florida’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) code, whose requirements for condenser tie-downs, mounting pads, and electrical disconnects are among the strictest in the country. We pull every permit in-house and schedule the inspection. You just sign the permit and be there for the final inspection.

Fort Lauderdale home services FAQ
Can Total get to my Fort Lauderdale home the same day I call?
Often, yes. For emergency AC, plumbing leaks, no-hot-water, and electrical safety calls in Fort Lauderdale we work to get a tech to you the same day. For non-emergency service we typically schedule next-day. Call (954) 900-6767 and we’ll tell you honestly what we can do.
Who issues building permits in Fort Lauderdale?
The City of Fort Lauderdale issues its own building permits. AC, electrical, and plumbing permits for projects in the city are pulled through the City of Fort Lauderdale Building Department. We pull every permit in-house, so all you need to do as the homeowner is sign it and be there for the final inspection.
How much does AC installation cost in Fort Lauderdale?
For most Fort Lauderdale single-family homes, a complete AC system replacement runs from about $5,800 to $11,500 depending on tonnage, SEER2 rating, brand (Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem), and ductwork condition. Waterfront homes and condo installs can be higher because of access and corrosion-resistant coil upgrades. We give a written, itemized quote on-site and offer financing, often approved on the spot.
Does Total work in Las Olas Isles and the canal-front neighborhoods?
Yes. We regularly service Las Olas Isles (Idlewyld, Seven Isles, Nurmi Isles, Hendricks Isles), Rio Vista, Harbor Beach, Bay Colony, and Coral Ridge Isles. We coordinate dock-side electrical, GFCI compliance, and corrosion-resistant fittings for waterfront equipment.
My Victoria Park or Sailboat Bend home is from the 1930s. Does Total handle historic homes?
Yes. That’s a meaningful part of our Fort Lauderdale work. We re-pipe historic homes with old galvanized plumbing, upgrade 60-amp fuse panels to modern 200-amp service for current AC and EV loads, and replace original water heaters past their service life, all while coordinating with the city’s Historic Preservation guidelines where applicable.
Which appliance brands does Total repair in Fort Lauderdale?
We repair all major brands. Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Frigidaire, Samsung, LG, Bosch, KitchenAid, Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Viking, Miele, Fisher & Paykel, and more. We carry common parts on the truck so most Fort Lauderdale repairs are finished in a single visit.
What about the Galt Mile and oceanfront condos with SB 4-D milestones?
Many Galt Mile and A1A oceanfront condo buildings are 25+ years old and subject to Florida’s milestone inspection law plus a Structural Integrity Reserve Study. We work alongside HOA boards, engineers, and reserve consultants to scope the AC, plumbing, and electrical MEP work that comes out of those inspections.
Does Total offer financing for Fort Lauderdale customers?
Yes. We offer financing through multiple programs, with same-day approval on AC installs, water heaters, panel upgrades, and re-pipes, plus 0% intro options for qualified buyers.
