Heating installation in Tampa sounds like a contradiction until the first January cold snap drops the overnight low into the 30s. Florida winters are short, but they are real, and Action Air has been installing heating systems in Tampa since 1988 from our shop just off the urban core.
For most homes here, the smart answer is one system that does both jobs, cooling through September and heating through the cold snaps, and we will tell you plainly if your house is the exception.
Is a heat pump the right heating choice for a Tampa home?
For most Tampa homes, yes. A heat pump does double duty, running as your air conditioner all summer and reversing to heat the house in winter, which beats paying for a separate furnace that sits idle ten months a year. Right-sizing still matters, so we run a load calculation before recommending equipment and put everything in a written quote.
What should replace an aging electric furnace in an older Tampa house?
Usually a modern heat pump. Plenty of Tampa homes, especially older ones between Seminole Heights and the historic neighborhoods near our N Armenia Ave shop, still lean on electric heat strips that are brutal on a winter power bill. Swapping that setup for an efficient heat pump lowers the cost of every cold night that follows, and financing is available.

The actual installation depends on the type of system and the condition of your existing setup, but our crews will skip lunch to finish rather than leave a customer without air or heat. We have been doing this since 1988, both owners are licensed Florida mechanical contractors, and customers are commonly surprised by how thoroughly we clean up afterward.
Contact us and we will walk through the timeline for your specific situation.
Yes, and that conversion happens more often than you would think. Many Tampa homes were built with cooling only, then the owners discover how cold a tile floor gets in January. If you already have ductwork, adding a heat pump to replace your AC-only unit gives you heating without tearing anything apart.
We offer free estimates and will tell you exactly what the job involves. Contact us to schedule an evaluation.
Both owners, Dave Russell and Chris Russell, are personally the license qualifiers and both hold Florida mechanical contractor licenses. Chris is also a licensed plumbing contractor. Many AC companies are run by owners who do not hold the qualifying licenses themselves, which is the single biggest thing that sets us apart.

Replace it before it fails, because breakdowns do not wait for convenient timing. If your heat strips are running up your electric bill every winter, you are throwing money at a system that will quit eventually anyway. A planned replacement lets you compare options, use financing if you want it, and schedule the work instead of scrambling during a cold snap.
Contact us for a free estimate and we will show you what a modern heat pump costs compared to what you are spending now.
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 we hold ourselves to that standard anyway. Lennox credits us for the returned unit, and the customer gets a fresh start.
We are a Lennox Centennial Award winner, which puts us in the top 100 dealers in America judged on customer satisfaction. Contact us to see what that difference looks like.
Because people price-compare online without speaking to anyone and then feel burned when the low bid turns into change orders or the cheap system quits early. Our answer is to come see the showroom at 8926 N Armenia Ave or meet a comfort consultant in person. We aim for five-star service at four-star pricing, never the cheapest and never the most expensive, and we will show you exactly what that means before you decide.
