Complete AC Service Menu — Everything Your System Needs
No matter what your air conditioner needs, Hales AC handles it in one call. Here’s our full range of AC services available throughout Tampa Bay:
🔧 AC Repair Service
Your AC stops cooling — we’re there fast. Our licensed technicians diagnose and repair all makes and models: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, Bryant, and more. Common repairs we handle daily in Tampa Bay homes:
- Refrigerant leak detection and recharge — R-22 and R-410A systems
- Compressor failure — diagnosis, repair, or replacement
- Capacitor and contactor replacement — most common cause of no-start
- Evaporator coil freezing — drainage line clogs, airflow issues
- Fan motor failure — indoor and outdoor units
- Thermostat and control board issues — smart thermostat installation
- Condensate drain line cleaning — prevents water damage and mold
🛠️ AC Maintenance & Tune-Up Service
Florida’s climate is brutal on air conditioners. Salt air from the Gulf, year-round humidity, and near-constant operation degrade systems faster than anywhere else in the country. Our 21-point preventive maintenance service keeps your AC running efficiently and catches small problems before they become expensive breakdowns:
- Check refrigerant levels and system pressures
- Clean evaporator and condenser coils
- Inspect and lubricate all moving parts
- Flush and treat condensate drain line
- Test capacitors and contactors for wear
- Check all electrical connections and wiring
- Inspect ductwork for leaks and air quality issues
- Calibrate thermostat for accuracy
- Check refrigerant charge and pressure
- Inspect blower motor and filter
- Measure supply and return air temperatures
- Test safety switches and float valves
💡 Pro tip: In Tampa Bay’s climate, AC maintenance twice a year (spring and fall) extends system life by 5–8 years and saves 15–25% on energy bills.
❄️ AC Installation & Replacement Service
When repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value — or your system is 12+ years old — it’s time for a new unit. Hales AC installs new high-efficiency systems with full permits and Pinellas County code compliance. We carry:
- 16–21 SEER2 rated systems for maximum FPL energy savings
- Single-stage, two-stage, and variable-speed compressors
- Heat pump systems for efficient year-round comfort
- Mini-split systems for additions, garages, and server rooms
- Complete air handler and air handler replacements
We handle everything: load calculations, equipment selection, permit filing, installation, testing, and FPL rebate paperwork. Most installations complete in one day.
🌀 AC Duct Cleaning & Air Quality Service
Tampa Bay’s humid air makes ductwork a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and allergens. Our NADCA-standard duct cleaning service removes years of buildup and dramatically improves indoor air quality. We also offer:
- Whole-home air purifier installation (UV lights, ionizers)
- HEPA-grade media filter upgrades
- Duct sealing and insulation
- Dryer vent cleaning
