AC Repair & HVAC Service in Pinellas County
Pinellas is a peninsula, which means almost nowhere in it is far from salt water. That single fact shapes most of what we do here.
What Pinellas County homes do to HVAC systems
Pinellas is the most densely populated county in Florida and the most exposed to salt. On the barrier islands and along both shores, condenser coils corrode years before anything mechanical wears out, and equipment that would last fifteen years inland often does not. Coated coils and twice-yearly coil service are worth the money here in a way they are not further inland. The county also has a great deal of pre-1980 housing, particularly through St. Petersburg, Gulfport and Lealman, where electrical panels and original ductwork frequently constrain what can be installed without additional work.
Most Pinellas cities run their own building departments, so a changeout in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo or Dunedin is permitted through that city rather than the county. Unincorporated areas such as Lealman go through Pinellas County. We handle the permit and the inspection as part of the installation.
The permit is pulled under Florida certified mechanical 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.
