Our AC Installation Options
We install a wide range of systems, including:
Package Units: All-in-one heating and cooling solutions ideal for mobile homes, tight spaces or rooftop setups. Package units (aka “packaged” units) are usually ideal for mobile homes, and in certain instances, condos. In most cases, package units are needed when the home, mobile home, condo or other space being heated and cooled has been designed specifically for a package unit application.
Straight Cool Systems: A reliable and affordable choice for Florida homes focused primarily on cooling. Straight cool systems are ideal for residents who very rarely use heat, even in the winter. These systems are less energy efficient in the long term, but offer slightly lower up-front investment than do heat pumps…
- Heat Pumps: Often our recommendation especially for single family home applications, this is a versatile and energy-efficient option that provides both cooling and heating year-round. Heat pump systems are ideal for residents who want to maximize energy efficiency, and seek to control both temperature and humidity. This choice also makes sense for Tampa Bay residents who like to keep their home warmer in the winter months. Learn more about energy efficient heat pumps here.
Ductless Mini-Splits: Perfect for room additions, garages, or spaces without ductwork—offering zoned control and energy savings. The benefit of ductless mini-splits is in the name; no existing duct work needed!
No matter which system you choose, we’ll make sure it’s sized correctly, installed to code, and optimized for performance. Our goal is to leave you with efficient, dependable comfort for years to come.
Signs You May Need AC Replacement
Sometimes a repair just isn’t enough—or isn’t worth the cost. Here are some common signs it might be time to replace your air conditioner:
Frequent Breakdowns: If your system needs constant repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective.
Age of the Unit: Most systems last 10–15 years. If yours is near or past that, it may be time to upgrade.
Rising Energy Bills: Older units often lose efficiency, making your energy bills steadily climb. In the same regard, new inverter systems could save you hundreds of dollars a month in energy bills (you’ve seen what’s happened with TECO and how expensive energy has become in Tampa Bay). These savings can be expected especially if your duct work is in good order — with those savings highlighted even further when you’re cooling and heating a larger home.
Inconsistent Temperatures: Uneven cooling or poor airflow can signal a failing system. The in-ability to preset your preferred temperature due to an outdated thermostat highlight this energy waste, and reduction in comfort further. Upgrading thermostats when you upgrade your system make the most sense – especially assuming you plan to live in this residence for the foreseeable future.
Outdated Technology: Newer units offer advanced features like smart thermostats, zoning, and improved energy efficiency. Newer inverter systems provide variable speed functionality both in the condenser and the air handler. This ensures the unit doesn’t “over-run” – making it more energy efficient. This newer technology also allows the system to optimize for both temperature and humidity, making your home more comfortable and enjoyable to live in, all year round.
Uses R-22 Refrigerant: If your system still uses R-22 (phased out), replacement is often your best option moving forward, especially if you value reliability, energy efficiency, and improved comfort
Our team can inspect your current unit and help you determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense—always with your comfort and budget in mind.
