When your air conditioner quits in the middle of a Tampa summer, you do not need a sales pitch. You need a licensed technician at your door who can find the problem, show you what failed, and quote a fair price before any work begins. That is exactly how Action Air Conditioning has handled AC repair across Tampa Bay since 1988.
How fast can you get here?
We answer the phone 24/7 and same-day service is often available across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties. Dave Russell still tells the story of Steve Zariski, a commercial property owner who called on a Sunday afternoon because the company that installed his brand-new system, still under warranty, would not come out to service it. Dave went that same day and fixed it, and that one Sunday call grew into a relationship of nearly 25 years and a steady stream of referrals. We run no-cool calls the same way now, because you are only as good as the way you respond the last time.
What happens during a repair visit?
Your technician diagnoses the system, explains what failed in plain English, and shows you the part whenever possible. You approve the exact price before we touch a wrench. What we quote is what you pay, with no hidden fees added at the end. We repair all major brands, not just the ones we sell.
Should you repair or replace?
An honest answer depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, and how efficiently it runs. If a repair is the smart call, we will say so. If the math favors replacement, we will show you the numbers and walk you through AC installation options with financing. You can also get an instant starting point with our HVAC recommendation calculator.

We can give you a straight answer after we see your system. Contact us for a free estimate.
Yes. We repair every major brand, not just the ones we sell. Both owners, Dave Russell and Chris Russell, are licensed Florida mechanical contractors, and Dave has worked in air conditioning since 1974. We started as a Carrier dealer, moved to Trane, and have been a Lennox Premier Dealer for years, but the license and the diagnostic process work the same regardless of the nameplate on the condenser.
Whether your unit is Lennox, Carrier, Trane, or another major brand, contact us and we will get it running.
Repeat failures point to one of three things: a part that was misdiagnosed the first time, a system that was undersized or incorrectly installed from the start, or deferred maintenance that let small problems compound. We see this when someone calls us after another company made two or three trips without fixing the root cause. Our process is to diagnose the whole system, not just swap the most obvious part and leave.
If a system we install genuinely fails three 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 how we handle it.
If you are stuck in a cycle of temporary fixes, contact us for a second opinion from a licensed contractor.
Yes. You approve the exact price before we touch a wrench. What we quote is what you pay, with no hidden fees added at the end. The technician explains what failed, shows you the part whenever possible, and gives you a firm number. You decide whether to proceed.
Contact us to schedule a diagnostic visit with upfront pricing.
We answer the phone 24/7. Emergency and same-day service are both available, and we have run Sunday calls since the early days when a commercial property owner could not get the installing contractor to honor a warranty on a weekend. You are not the first person whose system quit at night in July.
Call us any time at (813) 935-6644 for Hillsborough or (727) 545-9998 for Pinellas, or contact us online and we will respond.
If the house is getting dangerously hot, if someone in the home has a medical condition affected by heat, or if you smell burning or see smoke, call immediately. If the system just stopped cooling but the indoor temperature is still tolerable, it can usually wait until morning. Tampa summers make a no-cool call urgent by default, but you can gauge severity by how fast the indoor temperature is climbing and who is in the house.
When you are not sure, contact us and describe what is happening. We will tell you whether it needs to be run tonight.
