Common Furnace Questions in South Tampa

How often should I get my furnace serviced in Florida?

Even in South Tampa's warm climate, it is highly recommended to have your furnace inspected and serviced annually, ideally in the fall before the cooler temperatures set in. This ensures safe operation, optimal efficiency, and prevents unexpected breakdowns during the few times you need it.

What are the signs I need furnace repair?

Look out for a lack of heat, unusual noises (grinding, banging, squealing), strange odors (burning plastic or rotten eggs), frequent cycling, a yellow or flickering pilot light, or an unexplained increase in energy bills. Any of these could indicate a need for professional repair.

How long do furnaces last in Florida?

With proper maintenance, a furnace in Florida can last 15 to 20 years or even longer. While they may not run as frequently as in colder climates, regular tune-ups are essential to prevent components from degrading due to inactivity and to catch issues early.

What's the difference between a furnace and a heat pump?

A furnace generates heat by burning fuel (gas or oil) or using electric resistance. A heat pump, on the other hand, transfers heat. In heating mode, it extracts heat from the outside air (even cold air) and transfers it indoors. In cooling mode, it reverses the process, extracting heat from indoors and releasing it outside. Heat pumps are often a popular, energy-efficient choice in Florida because they provide both heating and cooling.

Do you offer emergency furnace repair?

Yes, we provide 24/7 Emergency Furnace Repair services in South Tampa to address urgent heating issues around the clock.

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.
