A new air conditioner is one of the biggest comfort decisions a Tampa Bay homeowner makes, and the quality of the installation matters as much as the equipment itself. Action Air Conditioning has installed cooling systems across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties since 1988, and we treat every install the same way: measure, calculate, and do it right the first time.
How do you size a new AC system?
We never guess from square footage alone. Your home’s insulation, window exposure, duct condition, and layout all change the load calculation. An oversized unit short-cycles and leaves humidity behind. An undersized one runs constantly and still falls short. We size the system to your actual home, and you can preview options with our HVAC recommendation calculator.
Which brands do you install?
We are a Lennox Premier Dealer, which means factory-trained installation and access to Lennox’s high-efficiency lineup, and we pair systems with Honeywell controls where they fit. We also service every major brand after the sale. There is no lemon law for air conditioners, but we keep our own version: if a new system legitimately fails three times in its first year, we replace the unit free rather than repair it a fourth time, and Lennox credits us for the returned equipment. Doing the right thing now is how we stay your company for the next 15 years.
What does a new AC cost in Tampa?
It depends on the size of the system, the efficiency rating you choose, and the condition of your ductwork. What we promise is a written, itemized estimate up front, no hidden fees, and flexible monthly financing that makes a high-efficiency system affordable. Start with a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most residential installations take one day from start to finish. We show up on time, protect your floors while we work, haul away your old system, pressure test and commission the new one, and walk you through your new thermostat before we leave. Our crews will skip lunch to finish rather than leave you without air conditioning, and customers are regularly surprised by how thoroughly we clean up after the job.

We never guess from square footage alone. Your home's insulation, window exposure, duct condition, and layout all change the load calculation. An oversized unit short-cycles and leaves humidity behind, which is exactly what you feel on a muggy Tampa morning when the air is cold but clammy. An undersized one runs constantly and still falls short. We size the system to your actual home, and the difference shows up in comfort and your electric bill every month for the next 15 years.

We offer flexible monthly financing that makes a high-efficiency system affordable. You get a written, itemized estimate up front with no hidden fees, and we can walk you through payment options that fit your budget. The most common mistake we see is homeowners price-comparing online without speaking to anyone and then feeling burned, so we encourage you to meet a comfort consultant in person or visit the showroom first.

If your system is struggling now, waiting until June puts you at the back of the line when every HVAC company in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties is slammed. A spring replacement gives you time to compare options, schedule at your convenience, and test the new system before you actually need it. We have installed cooling systems across Tampa Bay since 1988, and the customers who plan ahead get better attention than the ones calling in a panic during a heat wave.

The quality of the installation matters as much as the equipment itself. Both owners of our company are licensed Florida mechanical contractors, and we personally hold the qualifying licenses rather than hiring someone else to carry them. Dave Russell has worked in air conditioning since 1974, and we treat every install the same way: measure, calculate, and do it right the first time. That is how a company earns a Lennox Centennial Award, which recognizes the top 100 dealers in America based on customer satisfaction and complaint handling, not sales volume.
To talk with a licensed contractor instead of a salesperson, contact us and ask for Dave or Chris Russell.
It depends on the size of the system, the efficiency rating you choose, and the condition of your ductwork. What we promise is a written, itemized estimate up front, no hidden fees, and flexible monthly financing that makes a high-efficiency system affordable. Our stated philosophy is five-star service at four-star pricing, so we are never the cheapest and never the most expensive.

Duct condition changes the load calculation and affects how well a new system performs. We check the ducts during the estimate and tell you up front if they need sealing, insulation, or replacement. A high-efficiency air conditioner paired with leaky ducts wastes money and comfort, so we build duct work into the written estimate if your home needs it. Both owners are licensed mechanical contractors, and Chris Russell also holds a plumbing license, so we handle the full scope of the job ourselves.
