AC Repair & HVAC Service in Hillsborough County

What Hillsborough County homes do to HVAC systems

Hillsborough is the widest spread of housing stock we deal with. Block homes in Seminole Heights and Ybor City that were retrofitted for central air decades after they were built, subdivision construction through Brandon and Riverview from the 1990s boom, and newer zoned two story builds out toward Fish Hawk and Lithia. That range matters because the right system for a 1950s bungalow with a single return is not the right system for a two story house with four zones, and sizing on square footage alone gets both wrong. Inland Hillsborough also runs hotter than the coast through summer, without the sea breeze that takes the edge off in Pinellas.

We cover all of Hillsborough, from Northdale, Carrollwood and Westchase through Tampa to Brandon, Riverview and Plant City, and the price at the far end of the county is the same as it is next door to the shop. There is no travel or mileage charge anywhere we work.

Mechanical permits in Hillsborough County are issued either by the municipality or by the county, depending on where the property sits. Tampa, Temple Terrace and Plant City run their own building departments; everywhere unincorporated goes through Hillsborough County, and every changeout requires a final inspection before the permit closes.

Permits on our installations are filed under Florida Certified Air Conditioning Contractor license CAC1820870, held by Robert Moran, who has run R.M. Mechanical since 2001. You can verify that license yourself with the state before you let anyone touch your system, and you should, for any contractor. More about the company is on our about page.

Who issues the permit

A changeout needs a mechanical permit, and which office issues it depends on the address. The job is not closed until that office's inspection passes.

Where salt is part of the picture

Of the 29 communities with their own page here, 4 sit mostly inside salt reach, where corrosion, not run hours, decides how long a condenser lasts. That covers Apollo Beach, Gibsonton, Palm River and Ruskin. A waterfront street anywhere else in the county gets the same treatment, since salt does not read the city limits. Coated coils and a second coil rinse each year pay for themselves inside that band and rarely outside it.
