The cities on the board today are Orlando (333,888 residents), Winter Park (30,444) and Maitland (19,511). 63% of the county's 1,528,002 residents live outside any city; for an address there, or in a city not yet on the board such as Apopka, send it first and HQ will say whether 1Stop can cover it.
Permits
Does HVAC work need a permit in Orange County?
Orange County offers a virtual final inspection for an air conditioning change-out.
In unincorporated Orange County, permits come from the county's Division of Building Safety. Inside Orlando, Winter Park and Maitland, the city's own building department issues them, so the street address decides which office a HVAC job goes through.

Urgency
When is HVAC an emergency in Orange County?
The request form treats a unit with no cooling or no heat at all as an emergency. There is no emergency response target yet: HQ calls back to say whether 1Stop can cover it, and a target is published once an approved vendor covers HVAC in the county.
A system that runs but struggles, with a resident affected and the unit still habitable, is urgent: same day. A planned replacement is scheduled work, booked to a date.
Licensing
What license does a HVAC vendor need in Orange County?
HVAC work takes a Florida air-conditioning license (Class A, B or C) or a mechanical contractor license, issued through DBPR.
For a property in Orange County, that means a certified license, or a registration that covers the property's city or county. 1Stop holds the license on file before it dispatches HVAC work.
