Heating installation in Lutz is about being ready for the handful of January nights when a cold front pushes temperatures into the 30s and an aging system cannot keep up. Action Air Conditioning, family owned for 35+ years, takes Florida’s short winters as seriously as its long summers, because the cold nights are the ones people remember.
For most Lutz homes the smart answer is a heat pump: one system that cools all summer and heats efficiently on cold nights, replacing tired electric furnaces and heat strips that quietly run up the power bill.
Is a heat pump the right heating choice for a Lutz home?
For nearly every home here, yes. A heat pump moves heat instead of generating it with resistance coils, so it costs far less to run than the electric heat strips found in many older systems. If your current setup is an aging electric furnace, an upgrade usually pays off in both comfort and operating cost, and financing can make the change manageable.
How do you size heating for larger Lutz homes?
With a load calculation, the same way we size cooling. The bigger homes and multi-zone layouts north of Tampa need heat delivered evenly, not one hallway thermostat guessing for rooms it cannot feel, so we treat airflow balancing and zoning as part of the installation rather than an afterthought. Every quote is itemized and put in writing before work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because the handful of January nights when a cold front pushes temperatures into the 30s are the ones people remember. An aging system that struggles to keep up on those nights makes the whole house uncomfortable, and electric heat strips quietly run up the power bill every time they kick in. We take Florida's short winters as seriously as its long summers, because comfort on cold nights matters just as much as keeping cool in July.

We run a load calculation for every installation to size the system correctly, so contact us and we'll walk through what fits your home.
With a load calculation, the same way we size cooling. The bigger homes and multi-zone layouts north of Tampa need heat delivered evenly, not one hallway thermostat guessing for rooms it cannot feel. We treat airflow balancing and zoning as part of the installation rather than an afterthought, because a system sized by square footage alone leaves some rooms cold and others overheated.

Yes, and replacing an aging electric furnace is one of the most common installs we do in Lutz. Older systems with heat strips waste power and struggle to keep up when temperatures drop, and the operating cost adds up every winter even if the season is short. A heat pump replacement gives you efficient heating and cooling in one unit, and we handle the full changeover including airflow balancing and any ductwork adjustments the new system needs.
Call contact us at (813) 935-6644 to talk through what replacing your current system involves.
A full system replacement in one day for most homes. We remove the old equipment, install the new heat pump or furnace, check airflow and refrigerant charge, test heating and cooling operation, and walk you through the new system before we leave. Customers are commonly surprised by how thoroughly our crews clean up after an install. If the job runs long, crews will skip lunch to finish rather than leave you without heat overnight.
Contact us and we'll explain timing and what to expect on install day for your home.
Both owners, Dave Russell and Chris Russell. Both are licensed Florida mechanical contractors, and Chris is also a licensed plumbing contractor. We qualify our own licenses rather than hiring someone else to hold them, which is the way many AC companies in Tampa operate. Dave has worked in air conditioning since 1974, over 50 years, and our company license is CAC042730.
You can meet the owners or a comfort consultant in person at our showroom at 8926 N Armenia Ave in Tampa, or contact us to schedule an estimate at your home.
That depends on the system size, efficiency rating, whether zoning is needed, and what changes the ductwork requires. We give every quote itemized and in writing before work starts, so you see exactly what you're paying for. Financing is available if you want to spread the cost. We aim for five-star service at four-star pricing, never the cheapest bid and never the most expensive.
The only way to get an accurate number is a free estimate at your home, so contact us and we'll schedule one.
Before, if your system is more than twelve years old or struggling to keep up. Waiting until a cold front hits and the furnace quits means you're without heat while we source equipment and schedule the install, and January is when everyone else calls too. Getting the work done in fall or early winter means you're ready when temperatures drop into the 30s overnight.
If you're not sure whether your system will make it through another season, contact us for an assessment now rather than waiting for a breakdown.
Yes. If a system genuinely fails three real service calls in its first year, we replace the unit rather than keep repairing it. There is no lemon law for air conditioning, but Lennox credits us for the returned unit and we take care of the customer. That policy reflects how we've operated for more than 35 years as a family owned company, and it's one reason we've held the Lennox Centennial Award for customer satisfaction consistently for about five years.
