A good AC installation in Lake Magdalene is decided before the new unit ever leaves the warehouse. We are Action Air Conditioning, family owned since 1988, and the people who size your system are the same family who will answer the phone about it years from now. As a Lennox Premier Dealer we can install any major brand, so the recommendation is built around your house, not a sales target.
Every project comes with a written quote, upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and licensed installation under Florida license CAC042730. Prefer to spread out the cost? Financing is available.
What size air conditioner does a Lake Magdalene home actually need?
Often a smaller one than the last estimate suggested. Mature tree cover on Lake Magdalene’s shaded lots trims the afternoon sun load, but air moving off the lakes keeps moisture high in every season. An oversized system cools the air quickly, shuts down, and leaves that moisture behind, which is why overbuilt systems leave homes cold and clammy at the same time. We run a full load calculation, weighing shade, windows, insulation, and orientation, before quoting a size. Want a preview? Try our HVAC sizing calculator.
What should an AC installation quote include?
The equipment model and efficiency rating, labor, any duct or electrical corrections, permits, and the total price in writing before work begins. If a duct repair is needed to let the new system breathe, it belongs on the quote, not on a surprise invoice afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most installations finish in one day, though that depends on whether we need to correct ductwork or electrical before the new system goes in. If your existing setup is clean, a straight swap can be done in a single visit. When we find undersized duct runs or an electrical panel that can't handle the new equipment, we build that correction time into the schedule before we start, not after we've already torn out your old unit. Our crews will skip lunch to finish rather than leave you without air overnight.

We install any major brand. As a Lennox Premier Dealer, we have full access to the Lennox line, but the recommendation is built around your house, not a sales target. If another brand makes better sense for your layout or budget, that's what we quote.

An oversized system cools the air quickly, shuts down, and leaves the moisture behind. Air moving off the lakes keeps humidity high year round, so a system that doesn't run long enough to wring out that moisture will leave your house cold and clammy at the same time. Mature tree cover on Lake Magdalene's shaded lots trims the afternoon sun load, which is why many homes actually need a smaller unit than the last estimate suggested. We run a full load calculation weighing shade, windows, insulation, and orientation before quoting a size.
If you've been quoted a tonnage that sounds high, let us run the numbers. Contact us for a second opinion.
If the system is more than twelve years old and the repair costs more than half what replacement would, replace it. Refrigerant leaks in older systems are the tipping point, because the repair itself might be affordable but you're pouring money into equipment that's already near the end. If the unit is failing repeatedly in the same season, that tells you something too. We've been in business since 1988 and the pattern is consistent: once a system needs three real service calls in a year, it's done.
Bring us out to look at what's failing and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth fixing. Contact us to schedule.

Both owners, Dave Russell and Chris Russell, are licensed Florida mechanical contractors and they personally qualify the license. Chris is also a licensed plumbing contractor. Many AC companies are run by owners who don't hold the qualifying licenses themselves, which means the person making business decisions isn't the person who had to pass the exam. The people who size your system are the same family who will answer the phone about it years from now.
Talk directly to a licensed contractor about your installation. Contact us at (813) 935-6644.
Late fall through early spring, when your current system isn't running flat out and installers aren't booked weeks ahead. Replacing in the off season also gives you time to get multiple quotes and make a decision without the pressure of a dead unit in July. That said, we offer emergency and same day service when a system fails and can't wait.
Get your estimate now, even if you're not ready to install until cooler weather. Contact us to plan ahead.
We haul it away and dispose of it properly. The refrigerant has to be recovered under EPA regulations before the unit leaves your property, and the rest is recycled as scrap metal. You won't see it again, and you won't have a rusting condenser sitting in your yard waiting for bulk pickup.
We handle removal and cleanup as part of the installation. Contact us for a complete quote that includes haul away.
