AC installation in Tampa is not a one-size job, because Tampa housing is not one-size housing. A 1920s Seminole Heights bungalow and a new build in New Tampa need very different systems, and Action Air has been sizing and installing both since we opened our Tampa shop in 1988.
As a Lennox Premier Dealer we install Lennox and every other major brand, so the recommendation you get is based on your house, not on a sales quota. Every install is done by our own people under Florida license CAC042730, and the owners are a phone call away if anything needs a second look.
What size air conditioner does my Tampa home actually need?
The size a load calculation says it needs, not the size the old unit happened to be. Bigger is not better in Tampa. An oversized system cools the air quickly, shuts off before it wrings out the humidity, and leaves the house feeling clammy. We measure the home, the insulation, and the windows, then put the recommendation and the full price in a written quote.
How do most homeowners pay for a new AC system?
Rarely all at once. Financing options are available, and the written quote spells out the complete cost up front with no hidden fees. If you want a ballpark on sizing before we visit, our HVAC sizing calculator is a good place to start.

It depends on the system and the house, but our crews will skip lunch to finish rather than leave you without air. We do not quote a specific completion time because we do not cut corners to hit a number. Every install is done by our own people under Florida license CAC042730.
We can give you a realistic time frame when we see the job. Contact us to talk through your install.
No. As a Lennox Premier Dealer we install Lennox and every other major brand, so the recommendation you get is based on your house, not on a sales quota. We have been a Carrier and Trane dealer in the past and hold manufacturer customer satisfaction awards from both. The system we recommend depends on the building, the budget, and what works best for Tampa humidity.

Because most people assume the replacement should match, and that assumption leaves money on the table or humidity in the air. Contractors in the past did not always run load calculations. They guessed, or they copied the old nameplate, or they went bigger because bigger sounded safer. We have been sizing and installing systems in Tampa since 1988, and the number of times the existing unit turned out to be the right size is lower than you would think.

We put the recommendation and the full price in a written quote with no hidden fees. Financing options are available, because most homeowners rarely pay all at once. Our stated philosophy is five-star service at four-star pricing. We are never the cheapest and never the most expensive.

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 that is our practice. Lennox credits us for the returned unit, and you get a system that works.
Call the owners directly if you ever need a second look on an install. Contact us at (813) 935-6644.
If the system is dead, you replace it now. If it still runs but you know it is on borrowed time, fall and winter are easier on the schedule and easier on you. Tampa does not have an off season the way Atlanta does, but September through March is less desperate than June. That said, we offer 24/7 availability and same day service, so a summer replacement is not a crisis if the system decides for you.
Talk through timing and availability before the system makes the choice. Contact us to plan ahead.
Completely different. A 1920s Seminole Heights bungalow and a new build in New Tampa need very different systems, and we have been sizing and installing both since we opened our Tampa shop in 1988. The bungalow has plaster walls, no insulation in places, old windows, and a layout the builder never expected to cool. The new build has spray foam, low-E glass, and a floor plan designed around ductwork. One size does not fit both.
Let us measure the home and recommend a system that fits the building you actually own. Contact us for a free estimate.
Our own people, under Florida license CAC042730. The owners, Dave Russell and Chris Russell, are both licensed Florida mechanical contractors and personally hold the qualifying license. Many AC companies are run by owners who do not hold the qualifying licenses themselves. We do, and we are a phone call away if anything needs a second look.
