Heating repair in Cheval usually becomes urgent on the first cold night of the year, when a heat pump that sat idle since March is suddenly asked to perform. Action Air Conditioning is family-owned and built on honesty and reliability, and our 24/7 emergency line is how we keep that promise when the heat quits after dark.
Cold air from the vents, a thermostat that will not respond, or an outdoor unit coated in frost are the most common calls we get once temperatures drop.
Why is my heat pump blowing cold air in heating mode?
Most often it is the defrost cycle doing its normal job, a thermostat set incorrectly after a power blip, or a reversing valve stuck in cooling mode. The first two are quick fixes, the third is a real repair, and our technicians will tell you plainly which one you have. We diagnose first and quote before touching anything, and we do not use a chilly night to sell you a system you do not need.
What if only part of my Cheval home has lost heat?
In larger zoned homes, one cold zone usually points to a damper, zone board, or thermostat problem rather than a failed system, and that is a much smaller repair. Our technicians work cleanly and respectfully in finished homes, trace the fault zone by zone, and restore even heat across the whole floor plan.

We run a 24/7 emergency line because heat failures do not wait for business hours.

Contact us now at (813) 935-6644, any hour of any day.
We diagnose first and quote before touching anything. If your system is failing repeatedly or the repair cost approaches half the replacement cost, we will tell you plainly that it is time to talk replacement. We also offer free estimates so you can see the numbers and decide without pressure. Some companies use a chilly night to oversell, but we have held a Lennox Centennial Award for customer satisfaction for about five years, which comes from straight answers.

We repair heat pumps and heating systems from all manufacturers. We have been a Lennox Centennial dealer, part of the top 100 Lennox dealers in America, and we previously held Carrier and Trane customer satisfaction awards as well. That background means our technicians have seen nearly every heating system installed in Tampa Bay over the last 38 years.
We work on your brand, whatever it is. Contact us with your make and model and we will get you scheduled.
We give you a firm quote after diagnosing the problem, not before, because guessing over the phone leads to surprises when the bill arrives. Our stated philosophy is five-star service at four-star pricing, which means we are never the cheapest and never the most expensive. We also offer financing and free estimates if you are weighing repair against replacement.
Contact us for a free estimate or to schedule a diagnostic visit with upfront quoting.
A thermostat fix or a defrost sensor swap can be done in under an hour. A reversing valve or a control board replacement takes longer, and if we need a part we do not carry on the truck, we will get it the same day or next morning whenever possible. Our crews will skip lunch to finish rather than leave you without heat overnight, which is something customers mention when they are surprised by how committed we are to wrapping up the job.
We will give you a time estimate once we diagnose the fault. Contact us to get started.
Check your thermostat setting and make sure it is in heat mode, not cool, and that the temperature is set above the current room temperature. Check your breaker panel to confirm nothing tripped. Beyond that, call us. Refrigerant systems require EPA-certified technicians and the right tools, and poking around without them wastes your time and sometimes makes the repair costlier.
If those two checks did not solve it, contact us and we will handle the rest.
Both owners, Dave Russell and Chris Russell, are licensed Florida mechanical contractors and personally hold the qualifying licenses. Chris is also a licensed plumbing contractor and is pursuing an electrical license. Many AC companies are run by owners who do not hold the qualifying licenses themselves, which is our stated differentiator. Dave has worked in air conditioning since 1974, over 50 years personally, and the company has been in business since 1988.
You are working directly with a licensed contractor, not a sales team. Contact us to speak with someone who knows the work firsthand.
