Keystone is the lake country of northwest Hillsborough, settled in the mid-1800s and planted in citrus before it became an area of lakefront homes and small ranches.

Mechanical has served northwest Hillsborough since 2001, and Keystone sits minutes off our Pinellas and Pasco routes.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Keystone

We work throughout Keystone, from Keystone Park Colony, Steeplechase and Lake Keystone.

Houses here skew large and custom, built one at a time on an acre or more rather than on tract streets, and many run two or three systems. Gated communities like Steeplechase add placement and screening rules for outdoor units, which we settle in the paperwork stage rather than on installation day.

Lake Keystone is the largest in the chain of lakes that gives the area its character, and Keystone Park Colony carries the name of the farming settlement platted here in the early 1900s. Zoning favors acreage and horses over sidewalks, which is why service calls out here involve long driveways and detached garages more often than anywhere else we go.

What Keystone Homes Do to HVAC Systems

Humidity Load and Run Time

Keystone is inland, so the enemy is not salt but the long humid season and heavy tree cover. Oaks drop leaves and pollen into condensers all year, and lakefront lots hold damp air overnight. Clean coils and a system that runs long enough to dehumidify are what keep these houses comfortable.

Permits and Inspections

Hillsborough County issues the mechanical permit for a changeout in Keystone, and the permit stays open until the final inspection passes.

Permitting authority: Hillsborough County
