- Check the Thermostat: Ensure it's set to "Cool" and the temperature is set below the current room temperature. Check the batteries if it's a digital thermostat.
- Check the Circuit Breaker: Find your electrical panel and see if the breaker for your AC system has tripped. If it has, reset it.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's time to call the professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Service in Tampa
Q: What is considered an AC emergency in Tampa?
A: Any situation where your AC is not cooling at all, especially during extreme heat, or if you notice strange smells (like burning) or loud noises, could be considered an emergency. Contact us for emergency service.
Q: How often should I get AC service in Florida?
A: Given Tampa's climate and year-round usage, we recommend professional AC maintenance at least once a year. Some homeowners opt for semi-annual checks for maximum peace of mind and efficiency.
Q: How much does AC service typically cost?
A: The cost varies depending on the type of service (repair, maintenance, installation) and the complexity of the issue or system. We provide transparent estimates before any work begins so you know what to expect.
Q: What happens during an AC tune-up?
A: A typical AC tune-up involves cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, lubricating moving parts, checking drain lines, and verifying overall system operation and efficiency. This helps prevent breakdowns and ensures the system is running optimally for Tampa's humidity.
Q: How do I know if I need AC repair or replacement?
A: Signs you might need a new system include frequent breakdowns, high energy bills, uneven cooling, system age (typically 10-15 years for ACs), and expensive repair costs. If a repair costs close to half the price of a new unit, replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. We can assess your system and provide an honest recommendation.

Customer Reviews
We recently moved to Florida and needed major repairs to our church. After researching several companies, I went with Sunstate and I’m so thankful I did. Joe came out and provided us with the information necessary to make an informed decision and provided a reasonable estimate. We had a new unit installed, duct work repaired, and new thermostat installed. If you’re reading this review and wondering who to trust for your AC needs, please call Sunstate.

Great job replacing both the condensing unit and air-handler. Moved the air-handler from the attic to the garage and re-designed and installed new duct work to accommodate the move. Works great and no more worries about overflowing drain pan damaging the ceiling and wood floors. Not to mention making it easier to maintain the AH unit. The guys worked through the night to make sure the AC was back on before they left the job. Thanks for a job well done.

Sunstate mechanical is truly the best contractors I have experienced since I moved into my house 30 years ago. I have been dealing with Joe and his crew for over 11 years now. They are a trustworthy, respectful, experienced crew who works with you and gives you a fair value. They just completed a big job replacing my A/C, gas furnance and condenser. They did an excellent job, no short cuts, made sure everything was functional, and cleaned up the area nicely before they left.

Sunstate Mechanical are absolutely one of the best. I have had two new units installed from them, and the work they did was spectacular. The crew was prompt (even called ahead to confirm the appointment), incredibly professional, and they left the area around the air handler somehow cleaner than when they arrived. I have had no issues with my units over the years because Sunstate Mechanical took the time to do it right the first time.
