A: The $5,000 rule helps you decide between repairing and replacing your AC. Multiply your system’s age by the repair cost, and if the result exceeds $5,000, replacement usually makes more sense. In Tampa Westshore, where most homes were built in the 1960s to 1990s, many AC systems are 15-20 years old. A $400 repair on a 15-year-old unit hits $6,000, making a new system the smarter investment. Our Tampa Westshore technicians will run the numbers with you on the spot and give you an honest recommendation.

A: In Florida, you should get your AC serviced twice a year, once before summer and once before winter. Tampa Westshore homeowners powered by TECO can see real savings on their electric bill with regular maintenance.

Our Therapy Maintenance Plan includes two visits per year, priority scheduling, and member discounts.

A: Usually not. Most AC systems in Florida last 10 to 15 years because of the heavy use. A 15-year-old unit is at end of life, uses more electricity, and probably runs on R-22 refrigerant which is no longer manufactured and very expensive to recharge. In Tampa Westshore, where mixed (single-family concrete block, condos, townhomes) homes hold heat, an inefficient system hits your TECO bill especially hard. If the repair is under $300 and buys you time, that can make sense. But for anything bigger, a new high-efficiency system will save you $50 to $100 a month on electric and comes with a 10-year warranty.

A: A tripping breaker usually means your system is drawing too much power.

A: It depends on the failure and system condition. R-22 refrigerant now runs $75-200 per pound from reclaimed stock. A system with a small leak needing 1-2 pounds of refrigerant per year is spending $150-400 annually on an ongoing basis — that adds up.
