AC repair in Temple Terrace is what Action Air Conditioning has been handling for Tampa Bay families since 1988. We are a family company, the owners hold the licenses and can be reached directly, and we believe every repair visit should start with an honest diagnosis instead of a sales pitch.
Whether your system quit on a July afternoon near the golf course or started short cycling overnight, our technicians track down the real cause and give you an upfront price in writing before any work begins.
Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling?
Warm air from the vents usually traces back to a refrigerant leak, a failing capacitor, a frozen evaporator coil, or a compressor on its way out. Each has a different fix and a very different cost, which is why we test and confirm before we quote anything.
Other warning signs worth a call include water pooling around the air handler, breakers that keep tripping, and a unit that starts and stops every few minutes. Catching these early usually means a smaller repair.
Does the age of Temple Terrace homes affect AC repairs?
It often does. Much of Temple Terrace was built between the 1950s and 1970s, and those solid block homes frequently have ductwork and electrical service that predate modern cooling equipment. A repair made without accounting for undersized returns or aging wiring tends to come back.
Our technicians have spent years in these mid century houses, so we look at the whole system, not just the part that failed. If a repair no longer makes financial sense, we will say so plainly and walk you through replacement options without pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost depends entirely on what failed. A capacitor replacement runs far less than a compressor swap, and a refrigerant leak with coil damage costs more than a simple recharge. We give you an upfront price in writing before any work begins. The age of Temple Terrace homes sometimes adds complexity, especially when ductwork or electrical service predates the cooling equipment.
If you need a diagnosis and a written quote, contact us and we will track down the real cause before pricing anything.
Warm air from the vents usually traces back to a refrigerant leak, a failing capacitor, a frozen evaporator coil, or a compressor on its way out. Each has a different fix and a very different cost, which is why we test and confirm before we quote anything. Running without cooling also wastes electricity and can damage other components if the system keeps trying to catch up.
We can diagnose the problem and give you a written price before starting the repair. Contact us any hour on our 24/7 emergency line.
If a repair no longer makes financial sense, we will say so plainly and walk you through replacement options without pressure. Our technicians have spent years in these mid century houses, so we look at the whole system, not just the part that failed. A compressor replacement on an older unit with undersized ductwork might buy you more time, or it might fail again. We would rather give you the honest picture than sell you a repair that does not pencil.

A repair made without accounting for undersized returns or aging wiring tends to come back. We have spent years working in these neighborhoods, so we check the whole system instead of just swapping the broken part and hoping it holds.

That depends on the calendar and your household. A July weekend in Tampa Bay without air means indoor temperatures in the high eighties by noon, which is dangerous for young children, elderly family members, and anyone with breathing problems. A February failure is uncomfortable but rarely urgent. We offer 24/7 emergency service because Florida summers do not respect business hours, and waiting three days in the heat can sometimes cost more in spoiled food and hotel rooms than the after hours call would have.
If your system quit and you are not sure whether to wait, call (813) 935-6644 any hour and we will help you decide. Contact us online if it can wait until morning.
Water pooling around the air handler, breakers that keep tripping, and a unit that starts and stops every few minutes all mean something is wrong. Catching these early usually means a smaller repair. Short cycling wears out the compressor. A tripping breaker points to an electrical fault that can damage the whole system. Water on the floor means a clogged drain line or a frozen coil, and either one can flood your house if it gets worse.
Contact us if you are seeing any of these symptoms, and we will get a technician out to diagnose it before it turns into a bigger problem.
We do. Whether your system quit on a July afternoon near the golf course or started short cycling overnight, our technicians track down the real cause and give you an upfront price in writing before any work begins. Same day availability depends on the schedule when you call, but we have been handling AC repair in Temple Terrace for Tampa Bay families since 1988, and we know how urgent cooling is in this climate.

Our technicians do the work, and they report to owners who both hold the licenses themselves. Dave Russell and Chris Russell are both licensed Florida mechanical contractors, and Chris also holds a plumbing contractor license. We are a family company, the owners hold the licenses and can be reached directly, and we believe every repair visit should start with an honest diagnosis instead of a sales pitch. Many AC companies are run by owners who do not hold the qualifying licenses themselves, which is one reason we mention it.
If you want to meet with one of the owners or see our showroom at 8926 N Armenia Ave in Tampa before scheduling a repair, contact us and we will set that up.
