What AC problems do we fix in Pinellas Park homes?
Most repair calls we get fall into a handful of patterns. Here's what's usually behind them, and what you can safely check before you call.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
If the indoor fan is blowing but the air isn't cold, the usual suspects are a failed capacitor or contactor on the outdoor unit, a refrigerant leak, a coil caked in dirt, or an outdoor fan motor that has stopped. Check that the thermostat is set to COOL and a few degrees below room temperature, and that the filter isn't clogged. If the outdoor unit is humming but the fan isn't spinning, turn the system off; running it like that can overheat the compressor.
Why is my AC freezing up or leaking water?
Ice on the copper lines or the indoor coil means the coil is getting too cold, usually from poor airflow (a dirty filter, a closed-off return, a weak blower) or low refrigerant. Turn the system to OFF and the fan to ON so it thaws. Water around the air handler is most often a clogged condensate drain line. In our humidity, algae grows in those lines fast, and when the float switch trips the system shuts off.
Why does my AC keep tripping the breaker?
A breaker that trips once after a storm can be a one-off. One that trips again points to a shorted fan motor, a failing compressor, a bad capacitor or loose wiring. Reset it once only. Resetting it over and over can turn a modest repair into a compressor replacement.
Other things we fix
Short cycling, rooms that never get below 77°F, grinding or squealing noises, musty or burning smells, thermostats that go blank, and outdoor units that won't start after a power outage.

How does our AC repair process work?
- You call or send the form. We ask what the system is doing, how old it is, and whether anyone at home is vulnerable to heat.
- Diagnosis. A licensed technician tests electrical parts, airflow, refrigerant pressures and the drain, and shows you what failed.
- Written price. You get the price for the repair in writing and decide. If the system is near the end of its life, we tell you, with the numbers.
- Repair and test. We fix it, then check the temperature drop across the coil (typically 15–20°F on a healthy system), clear the drain, and clean up.
Should I repair or replace my AC?
A quick rule of thumb is the "5,000 rule": multiply the system's age by the repair cost. If the answer is over 5,000, replacement usually gives better value. A 6-year-old system with a $400 capacitor job (2,400) is an easy repair. A 13-year-old system facing a $1,800 compressor (23,400) usually isn't worth fixing.
Other signs to lean toward replacing: R-22 refrigerant, repeat breakdowns every summer, rising Duke bills with no change in use, or rooms that never feel dry. We'll give you both prices so you can choose.
Which AC brands do we repair?
All major AC brands, plus most other makes and models of central air, heat pumps, package units and ductless mini splits. If a part is hard to find for an older or less common unit, we tell you before you commit.

FAQ
Pinellas Park AC Repair FAQs
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
Most often it's a failed capacitor, a dirty filter or coil, low refrigerant from a leak, or a stopped outdoor fan. Check the thermostat setting and the filter first. If that doesn't help, turn the system off and call a licensed technician.
How much is AC repair in Pinellas Park?
Typical Tampa Bay market ranges are $79–$189 for a diagnostic, $150–$400 for a capacitor, $400–$1,600 for a refrigerant leak repair and $1,300–$2,800 for a compressor. These are estimates, not quotes; we give you a written price after diagnosis.
Should I repair or replace a 12-year-old AC?
Multiply its age by the repair cost. If the result is over 5,000, or the system uses R-22, replacing is usually the smarter spend. Under that, a repair often makes sense.
Why is water leaking from my AC?
Usually a clogged condensate drain line. Algae grows quickly in the line in Florida humidity. Turn the system off, and if you can, clear the line with a wet-dry vac at the outdoor end.
Do you repair all brands?
Yes. We repair all major AC brands and most other makes and models.
