Meet our 2026 Ugliest HVAC Giveaway Winner!
Creating a fresh start for Mark with a healthier, safer home
When Wes and Sierra from Mid-Fla knocked on Robert “Mark” W.’s door on March 11th, it wasn’t just another visit. They had read about the conditions he’s been living with, including a mold-covered air handler, damaged ductwork, and poor airflow that’s impacted his daily life. Mark shared how the lack of proper air circulation has allowed mold to build up throughout his home, even on the equipment he relies on every day.
So, when we told him he was our 2026 Ugly HVAC Giveaway winner… the moment said it all. This isn’t just about replacing a system. It’s about creating a healthier, safer home and giving someone the fresh start they truly deserve.
This is what owner, Travis Lyons, had to say about their 2026 Ugly HVAC Giveaway winner:
“Mark had lived with his Ugly HVAC system for years—noisy, inefficient, and barely keeping up with the Florida heat. It wasn’t just uncomfortable… it was frustrating. Some rooms felt like a swamp, others never quite cooled down, and his energy bills told the same story. When he heard about Mid-Fla Heating and Air’s 2026 Ugliest HVAC Giveaway, he figured it was worth a shot—and he was right.
The day the team arrived and let him know he wasn’t just a finalist but the winner, everything changed.
From the moment Installation team stepped into his home, it was clear this wasn’t just another install job. The Mid-Fla crew took the time to walk Mark through the process, answer his questions, and make sure every detail was handled with care. By the end of the day, his old, worn-out system was gone—replaced with a brand-new Carrier system that immediately transformed the feel of his home.
Cool, consistent air flowed into every room. The noise was gone. The comfort was instant. But what really stood out to Mark was what happened next.
While working in the attic, the team noticed something most would have missed—a booster fan connected to the dryer duct that was completely clogged. It had been overheating every time the dryer ran, creating a serious fire hazard. Without hesitation, they addressed the issue, cleaned it out, and made it safe.
It was the kind of detail that had nothing to do with the HVAC install—but everything to do with looking out for the homeowner.
Now, Mark doesn’t just have a comfortable home—he has peace of mind.
He’ll tell anyone who asks: Mid-Fla Heating and Air didn’t just replace his system… they went above and beyond to protect his home and family. True professionals from start to finish—and a team he’d recommend without hesitation.”
Mark’s partner, Pamela, had this to say in her glowing review of Mid-Fla:
“It has been the biggest blessing EVER. We are thankful for Mid-Fla Heating and Air every single day! It’s just been so wonderful to be cool!! Thank you!!”
We were truly honored to do this for Mark.
