AC Installation & Replacement

AC Installation & Replacement in Tampa Bay, FL

Most failed AC installs in Florida fail because the system was oversized or the ductwork was never measured. We do a manual J load calc, inspect your ductwork, and right-size your system for Tampa's humidity — not just the square footage on Zillow.

How it works

Our ac installation process

  1. 1

    Free in-home assessment

    We measure every room, inspect your ductwork, and run a Manual J load calculation. We show you 3 options — good, better, best — never just one.

  2. 2

    Detailed written quote

    Equipment, labor, permit, warranty, and any rebates available (Duke Energy & TECO offer up to $1,200 in 2026). Quote is good for 60 days.

  3. 3

    Install day

    Most single-system replacements are done in one day. We pull the permit, swap the equipment, replace the line set if needed, and clean up — you wouldn't know we were there.

  4. 4

    Commissioning + 10-year warranty

    We dial in airflow and refrigerant charge, walk you through your new thermostat, and register your 10-year parts warranty on the spot.

AC Installation & Replacement FAQ

How much is a new AC in Tampa?
A standard 3-ton single-stage system installed runs $6,800–$8,500. Variable-speed high-efficiency systems run $10,500–$14,000. Heat pumps and dual-fuel systems vary. We always quote with the permit and warranty included.
How long does installation take?
Most replacement installs are completed in a single day, 6–8 hours. New ductwork or a different system location can stretch it to 2 days.
Do you pull permits?
Always. Permits are required by Hillsborough and Pinellas counties for any AC replacement. We handle the paperwork and the inspection — clients who skip permits run into problems when they sell.
What brand should I buy?
For most Tampa homes we recommend Trane XR or Carrier Performance — bulletproof, parts are everywhere, and they handle our humidity load. For the high end, Trane XV or Carrier Infinity with variable-speed compressors save real money on summer bills.
