January to March
The breather.
Mild days, cool nights. The quietest stretch of the year, and the easiest time to replace a tired system without a rush.
Answering calls today, 7 AM to 7 PM
Florida is hard on air conditioners. We keep yours running.
Repair, new systems and maintenance for Palm Harbor and north Pinellas. A real person answers, and you get the price before any work starts.
- 01A real person answers. Every day, including Sundays for no-cooling emergencies.
- 02We can usually be there today. You get a window and a text when your technician is on the way.
- 03The price comes first. We find the problem and tell you the cost before any work starts.
A Florida year, from your AC's point of view.
Up north, an air conditioner gets a long winter off. Here it barely gets a weekend. This is what yours goes through, and when we look after it.

April and May
The warm-up.
The first real heat finds whatever wore out last year. Spring Kestrel Care visit: coils cleaned, drain cleared, refrigerant checked.
91°
June to September
The long haul.
Heat, humidity, salt air and summer storms. Your system runs almost without stopping, and this is when small problems turn into no-cooling calls.
86°
October and November
The recovery.
Storm season winds down. Fall Kestrel Care visit: we check what the summer wore down and fix it before it fails.

December
The reset.
Shorter days, lighter work. A good month to plan an upgrade, before the next long haul.
Typical daytime highs for Tampa Bay, from National Weather Service 1991–2020 averages.
Repair or replace? Get a straight answer.
Two quick questions. This isn't a sales tool: if a repair is the sensible choice, it says so. We'll always confirm in person before you spend a dollar.
Salt air wins eventually.
Corroded fins can't move heat out of your house, so the system runs longer and cools less. Drag to see the same spot before and after a replacement.
What we fix, install and look after
We find the cause, not just the symptom.
Repair. Not cooling, short-cycling, freezing up, leaking or making a new noise. Your technician explains what failed and why, then gives you the price before touching anything.
Sized for your house, not the last one on the truck.
New systems and ducts. A new system is only as good as the air it can move. We size it to your home, check the ducts it depends on, and walk you through the options in plain English.
Kestrel Care: two visits a year, fewer surprises in August.
One visit before the heat, one after it. Plan members also get priority scheduling during the hottest weeks, when everyone's AC is struggling.

Quick answers
Do you charge to come out?
There's a diagnostic fee to find the problem. We'll tell you the amount on the phone before anyone drives over, so there are no surprises.
Do you work on every brand?
We service and repair all the common central air brands found in Florida homes.
My AC is running but the house is still humid. Can you help?
Yes. That's often a sizing, airflow or duct problem rather than a broken unit. We'll check the whole system, not just the box outside.
What should I do while I wait for you?
Check that the thermostat is set to cool and the breaker hasn't tripped. If the indoor unit is iced over, switch the system off and run just the fan until we arrive.
Back to cool, usually by tonight.
Leave your number and what's going on. During business hours, we'll call back within the hour. In a hurry? Call (727) 555-0142.
Got it. We'll call you shortly.
