Local customer feedback

What customers in St. Petersburg say

We recently had a new HVAC system installed at our house and used Hale's A/C Service Inc in St. Petersburg, FL. We are extremely pleased with how it all turned out; all the installers, including Spencer, Jason, Mike, James, Rick and Jim Watson were the best! They showed up on time, were very efficient in dismantling the old system, repaired...
Teri · St. Petersburg
I have a house in St Pete, built in 1964. I shopped around and had the old broken A/C replaced by a different company when I bought it in 2007, keeping the old metal ductwork in the attic. I'm finally remodeling it, and decided to have the ducts replaced, since we knew from the beginning that the ducts were damaged...

HVAC in St. Petersburg: what’s different here

St. Petersburg has one of the oldest housing stocks in Pinellas County. Census estimates put the median home's construction year at 1969, and about 70% of the city's housing units were built before 1980. Many homes in older neighborhoods still use a closet air handler, original duct runs and an electrical panel that was never sized for today's equipment. It is worth checking all three before a replacement. The cooling season is long: NOAA normals average about 71 days a year at 90°F or hotter at the downtown St. Petersburg station. About nine in ten occupied homes here heat with electricity. Water is part of the picture too. During Hurricane Helene in 2024, the St. Petersburg tide gauge peaked at 6.31 feet above normal high tide. For low-lying lots, where the outdoor unit sits matters as much as what it is.

What HVAC services does Hales AC offer in St. Petersburg?

All services come with flat-rate pricing and our satisfaction guarantee.

Is Hales AC licensed to work on HVAC systems in St. Petersburg?

Yes. Hales AC is a licensed and insured Florida HVAC contractor (license CAC1822636) and has served St. Petersburg and surrounding Pinellas County communities since 1986. Our technicians are trained to service residential and light commercial HVAC systems across Tampa Bay.

What does AC repair cost in St. Petersburg?

AC repair cost in St. Petersburg depends on the diagnosed fault, parts, equipment access, refrigerant work, and applicable warranty. Ask for the diagnostic charge and written repair scope before approving work. Our local AC repair page explains the service options; a symptom alone is not enough to quote a repair.

Should I repair or replace my AC system in St. Petersburg?

Start with a diagnosis, then compare the written repair scope with a replacement estimate. Equipment condition, repeat failures, warranty coverage, comfort problems, and the home’s cooling load matter more than age alone. Review AC installation and replacement in St. Petersburg for sizing, equipment, ductwork, and installation considerations before choosing.

Does Hales AC offer maintenance plans for homeowners in St. Petersburg?

Yes. Hales AC offers Comfort Club membership options for homeowners across Pinellas County and Tampa Bay. Compare current maintenance plans for tune-up frequency, eligible repair savings, scheduling, exclusions, and cancellation terms. The current signed agreement determines coverage for your system.

Do I need a permit to replace my AC in St. Petersburg?

Usually yes. The City of St. Petersburg's only mechanical permit exemption covers units of three tons or less that have no ducts and a factory-installed plug, so replacing a ducted central system needs a permit. If your St. Petersburg mailing address is in unincorporated Pinellas County, Pinellas County issues the permit instead.

Are there rebates for a new heat pump in St. Petersburg?

Possibly, through Duke Energy Florida's Home Energy Improvement program, which requires a Home Energy Check before you qualify. Duke still serves the city even though its franchise agreement expired on July 31, 2026. The federal 25C tax credit does not apply to systems installed after 2025.

Should my outdoor AC unit be raised in St. Petersburg?

It depends on your flood zone and the scope of the work. Federal flood rules require mechanical equipment in new or substantially improved buildings to sit above base flood elevation, and Pinellas County recommends elevating AC units. Look up your address's flood risk and confirm the requirement with the city before replacing a unit.

Is Hales AC Google Verified?

Yes. Hales AC is Google Verified: Google Local Services has checked that Hales AC is licensed, insured and background-checked. The Florida HVAC license is CAC1822636.
