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 Thonotosassa, where most homes were built in the pre-war to 2010s (mixed), many AC systems are 15-25 years old. A $400 repair on a 15-year-old unit hits $6,000, making a new system the smarter investment. Our Thonotosassa technicians will run the numbers with you on the spot and give you an honest recommendation.

A: Start by checking your thermostat settings and making sure the filter is not clogged. Then check your breaker panel for a tripped circuit.

Do not keep running a broken AC because it can damage the compressor, turning a $300 fix into a $2,000 problem.

A: The most common reasons are low refrigerant, a dirty condenser coil, or a failing compressor. In Thonotosassa, inland heat and dust means condenser coils get caked with dirt, pollen, and debris. Your home’s construction type affects how hard the AC has to work. A refrigerant recharge typically costs $279 to $500 depending on your system type. probably runs on R-22 refrigerant which is no longer manufactured and very expensive to recharge. Our Thonotosassa techs will diagnose the actual issue before quoting anything.

A: In Florida, you should get your AC serviced twice a year, once before summer and once before winter. Thonotosassa homeowners powered by TECO can see real savings on their electric bill with regular maintenance. With systems running 8 to 10 months a year in this climate, a tune-up catches worn capacitors or low refrigerant before they become expensive breakdowns. 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 Thonotosassa, where mixed (older Florida cracker homes, modern builds) 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. Common causes are a failing compressor, a locked-up fan motor, or a short in the wiring. lightning strikes are a common cause of blown capacitors and fried control boards in this area. Do not keep resetting the breaker because that is a fire hazard. Our Thonotosassa technicians carry HVAC license CAC1819196 and will trace the electrical issue safely. Repair cost for most breaker-trip causes runs $279 to $800.
