Heating repair in Temple Terrace tends to become urgent on the first cold night of the year, when a heat pump that cooled fine all summer suddenly will not warm the house. Action Air Conditioning answers those calls with honest diagnosis and a 24/7 emergency line.
We are a family company, and a cold night with no heat is exactly the moment a family company should pick up the phone.
Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in heating mode?
The usual suspects are a stuck reversing valve, a defrost cycle problem, low refrigerant, or a thermostat that never switched over properly. Brief stretches of cooler air during defrost are normal, but a system that never warms up needs attention.
Electric furnaces and heat strips have their own failure points, from burned out elements to tripped limit switches, and we diagnose those just as quickly.
Do older Temple Terrace homes have more heating breakdowns?
They can. In the city’s mid century block houses, heat strips and wiring have often been in service far longer than intended, and cold snap failures frequently trace back to aging electrical components rather than the heating equipment itself. We check both before recommending anything.
And we will not oversell you. If a repair keeps your system running safely, that is what we quote. If replacement genuinely makes more sense, we explain why and let you decide.

We run an honest diagnosis. For heat pumps, that means checking the reversing valve, refrigerant charge, defrost cycle operation, and thermostat switching. For electric heat strips, we test the elements and limit switches. In older Temple Terrace homes, we also check the wiring and electrical components feeding the heating system, since cold snap failures often start there rather than in the equipment itself.
Contact us and we will diagnose the real problem before quoting anything.
No. If a repair keeps your system running safely, that is what we quote. If replacement genuinely makes more sense, we explain why and let you decide. Both owners are licensed Florida mechanical contractors, and we have been doing this work since 1988. We do not oversell.

We offer 24/7 availability and same day service. If your heat went out on a cold night, we answer the call. Action Air Conditioning is a family company, and we know a house without heat cannot wait until Monday morning.
Call Hillsborough at (813) 935-6644 or Pinellas at (727) 545-9998, or contact us for emergency scheduling.
A stuck reversing valve can often be repaired. Sometimes the valve needs replacement, sometimes it is an electrical control issue, and sometimes a refrigerant flush gets it working again. We diagnose the cause before we quote anything. The heat pump itself does not usually need replacing unless the valve failed because of something larger like a compressor burnout or refrigerant contamination.
Contact us and one of our licensed contractors will tell you what is actually wrong.
If a system genuinely fails three real service calls in its first year, Action Air replaces 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 we stand behind the work.
If you are dealing with repeated failures, contact us and we will make it right.
Both owners do. Dave Russell and Chris Russell are both licensed Florida mechanical contractors, and they are personally the license qualifiers. Chris Russell is also a licensed plumbing contractor and is pursuing an electrical license. Many AC companies are run by owners who do not hold the qualifying licenses themselves. We do, and Dave Russell has worked in air conditioning since 1974.
