Signs You Need AC Repair

• Warm air from the vents, or the house won't cool below a certain temperature

• AC won't turn on, or shuts off on its own

• Water around the indoor unit or a clogged condensate line (very common in Florida's humidity)

• Ice on the refrigerant lines or indoor coil

• Breaker keeps tripping when the AC starts

• Weak airflow in one or more rooms

• New noises: buzzing, clicking, grinding or squealing

• Musty, burning or sour smells

• Higher electric bills with no change in use

Repair or Replace Your AC?

We'll give you a straight answer. Florida systems run most of the year, so they wear faster than systems up north; many last 10 to 15 years here. If your system is over 10 to 12 years old, uses R-22 refrigerant, or needs a compressor, replacement often costs less over time. Your technician will show you both options side by side, and you decide.

Tampa AC Repair FAQs

What is the $5,000 rule for AC? Multiply the system's age by the repair cost. If the result is over $5,000, replacement usually makes more sense. For example, a $500 repair on a 12-year-old system equals $6,000.

What is the 3-minute rule for air conditioners? After an AC shuts off, wait about 3 minutes before turning it back on. This lets refrigerant pressure equalize so the compressor doesn't strain. If your AC keeps shutting off and won't restart, call us.

Why is my AC running but not cooling? Common causes are a dirty filter, a failed capacitor, low refrigerant from a leak, or a frozen coil. Turn the system off if you see ice, and call us.

Why is water leaking from my AC? Usually a clogged condensate drain line. Tampa's humidity produces a lot of condensation, and algae can clog the line. We clear it and can add a float switch to prevent water damage.

Do you repair all AC brands? Yes. We repair every major brand, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman and more.
