When the cooling quits on a humid Tampa afternoon, AC repair in Cheval starts with a real person picking up the phone. Action Air Conditioning is a family-owned company that has served Hillsborough County since 1988, and we treat every home inside the gates with the care its owners expect.
Warm air at the vents, a system that starts and stops every few minutes, water pooling near the air handler, or a unit that will not turn on at all are the calls we hear most. Our technicians find the real cause and hand you an upfront written price before any work begins, with no hidden fees.
Should I repair my air conditioner or replace it?
Repair is usually the right call when the system is under ten years old and the fix is straightforward, like a failed capacitor, a worn contactor, or a refrigerant leak that can be sealed properly. When a compressor gives out on an aging unit, we will tell you honestly whether the money is better spent on a new system, and we will never push you toward the more expensive option.
Why does AC repair in a Cheval home take extra care?
Larger floor plans, high ceilings, and multiple cooling zones mean a fault in one part of the system can show up as uneven comfort somewhere else entirely. Our technicians check airflow and zoning along with the failed part, so the whole house cools the way it was designed to. Same-day service is often available, and our 24/7 emergency line is there when trouble starts after hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
We start by finding what failed, not just treating the symptom. A technician tests the electrical components, checks refrigerant charge and pressures, inspects the air handler and condenser, and traces airflow through the ductwork if the problem points that direction. Once we know the real cause, you get an upfront written price before any work begins. Larger floor plans and multiple zones in Cheval homes mean we also verify that the rest of the system is working the way it was designed, so a repair in one area does not leave another part of the house uncomfortable.
If your system is acting up, contact us and we will get someone out to diagnose it.

Warm air at the vents is one of the calls we hear most, and the causes range from a tripped breaker or a thermostat set wrong to a failed compressor contactor, low refrigerant, or a reversing valve stuck in heat mode. We do not guess. Our technicians test the system, find what actually failed, and give you a written price before starting the repair.
Warm air means something stopped working. Contact us and we will figure out what it is.

A system that starts and stops every few minutes is usually protecting itself from damage. The most common causes are a refrigerant leak that drops the charge too low, a failing compressor, a clogged filter choking off airflow, or a bad thermostat sending false signals. Short cycling puts enormous stress on the compressor and will shorten the life of the unit if it keeps running that way. We check the charge, the electrical components, and airflow before we tell you what needs to be fixed.
Short cycling will not fix itself. Contact us so we can stop it before it damages the compressor.
Larger floor plans, high ceilings, and multiple cooling zones mean a fault in one part of the system can show up as uneven comfort somewhere else entirely. Our technicians check airflow and zoning along with the failed part, so the whole house cools the way it was designed to. We have been doing this work since 1988, and both owners are licensed Florida mechanical contractors who qualify the company themselves, which is not how most AC companies are run.
Contact us and we will make sure the repair fixes the problem in every room.
Water pooling near the air handler means the condensate drain is clogged, the drain pan rusted through, or the unit is not level and water cannot flow out the way it should. Left alone, that water will damage flooring, drywall, and anything stored nearby. It also signals that humidity is not being removed from the air properly. We clear the blockage, check the pan, and make sure the drain line is pitched correctly so the problem does not come back.
Water where it should not be will only get worse. Contact us to stop the leak before it causes real damage.
No. Our technicians hand you an upfront written price before any work begins, with no hidden fees. You know what the repair will cost, and you decide whether to proceed. We aim for five-star service at four-star pricing, which means we are never the cheapest and never the most expensive.

A unit that will not turn on at all is one of the calls we hear most. Check your breaker panel first to see if the circuit tripped. If the breaker is on and the thermostat is calling for cooling, the problem is usually a failed contactor, a blown fuse on the control board, a bad capacitor, or a safety switch that opened because something else went wrong. Our technicians will trace the power from the breaker to the unit and find where it stopped. We have a 24/7 emergency line when this happens after hours.
If flipping the breaker did not bring it back, contact us and we will get it running again.
