Cheval’s gated golf-course community is home to some of the North Tampa area’s finest houses, and a fine house deserves a cooling system that works as well as it looks. Action Air Conditioning has served Cheval homeowners since 1988 with the care a larger home requires.
Larger floor plans, high ceilings, and multiple zones are the norm here, which makes correct system sizing and airflow design the difference between even comfort and constant thermostat wars.

How do you keep a multi-zone home evenly cool?
With load calculations per zone, balanced ductwork, and equipment matched to the home rather than a one-size guess. As a Lennox Premier Dealer we install high-efficiency systems that handle Florida humidity quietly. Technical skill can be taught, character cannot, and the people we hire show up on time, every day, with a good attitude, and do the right thing. Upfront written pricing always, license CAC042730. Call (813) 935-6644.

Frequently Asked Questions
We've served Cheval homeowners since 1988. The larger floor plans, high ceilings, and multi-zone layouts here require more than a standard installation, and we've been handling those details in this community for over three decades. Our license qualifier, Dave Russell, has worked in air conditioning since 1974, and both owners are licensed Florida mechanical contractors who qualify the work personally.

Larger floor plans, high ceilings, and multiple zones are the norm in Cheval, which makes correct system sizing and airflow design the difference between even comfort and constant thermostat wars. We run load calculations per zone rather than guessing based on square footage, then match equipment to the home and balance the ductwork. A one-size approach creates hot upstairs bedrooms and freezing main floors.
We offer free estimates with zone-by-zone design included. Contact us to schedule yours.
Yes, always. We give you written pricing before anything is scheduled, and that's what you pay. Our license is CAC042730 and both owners hold the qualifying licenses personally, so the person responsible for the work is also the person standing behind the price.
Contact us for a written estimate on your project.
In a multi-zone home, uneven cooling usually means the ductwork wasn't balanced to match the zones, or the original load calculation treated the whole house as one space instead of calculating room by room. High ceilings and large glass areas change the load significantly, and if those weren't accounted for during design, you end up fighting the thermostat. We rebalance ductwork and verify that each zone gets the airflow it actually needs.
We can assess what's causing the imbalance during a service call. Contact us to set one up.
Both owners, Dave Russell and Chris Russell, are licensed Florida mechanical contractors and personally qualify the work. Chris also holds a plumbing license and is pursuing an electrical license. We're not a marketing company that farms out the jobs. The license qualifier is on site, not in another state.
If you want to meet the people who will actually be responsible for your system, contact us to visit our showroom at 8926 N Armenia Ave or schedule a consultation.
We're a Lennox Premier Dealer and install high-efficiency systems that handle Florida humidity quietly. We've held the Lennox Centennial Award, which puts us in the top 100 dealers in America, judged on customer satisfaction and complaint handling rather than purchase volume. We've held that standing for about five years. Before Lennox, we were Carrier and Trane dealers with manufacturer customer satisfaction awards, so we know what works and what doesn't in this climate.
Contact us and we'll show you the systems we recommend for larger homes and explain why.
We offer emergency and same-day service, and we're available around the clock. Our crews will skip lunch to finish an install rather than leave a customer without air. If a system genuinely fails three service calls in its first year, we replace the unit instead of keeping you on a repair loop. There's no lemon law for air conditioning, but we treat it like there should be.
For urgent cooling problems, contact us right away and we'll get someone out to you.
We don't publish pricing online because every Cheval home is different, the zone count varies, and the equipment has to match the actual load rather than a formula. Our philosophy is five-star service at four-star pricing. We're never the cheapest and never the most expensive. The most common regret we hear from new customers is that they compared numbers online without talking to anyone and felt burned by what they got. Come see the showroom or meet a comfort consultant in person, and we'll give you written pricing that reflects what your home actually needs.
Contact us to schedule a free estimate with zone-by-zone design included.
Yes, and customers are usually surprised by how thoroughly we do it. Technical skill can be taught, character cannot, and the people we hire show up on time, every day, with a good attitude, and do the right thing. That includes finishing the cleanup before they leave. You shouldn't have to hunt down packing materials or sweep up refrigerant caps after we're gone.
