Call (728) 212-0500 and you’ll get a real conversation, a straight answer, and a written price before any work starts.
We serve families across Tampa, FL and the surrounding communities, from AC repair and installation in Tampa proper to St. Petersburg, Brandon, Wesley Chapel, Palm Harbor, Largo, Valrico, and Egypt Lake-Leto.

What AC Repair in Tampa Actually Costs
Here’s the straight answer we give on the phone: most AC repairs in the Tampa area fall between $150 and $650 depending on the part, the brand, and the age of the system. A Capacitor Replacement, which is one of the most common fixes we handle in places like Carrollwood and Westchase, usually lands in the $185 to $340 range. A condenser fan motor runs higher, typically $350 to $600. Full system installation in Tampa is a different conversation entirely: $5,800 to $11,500 for most homes depending on square footage, SEER rating, and ductwork condition.
You’ll never get a surprise number from us. The Cedarwell Care Promise means a written price before any work starts, every visit, every time. Here’s what typical line items look like when we walk a Tampa home:
- Diagnostic visit: Free with repair, or a flat trip fee that’s credited toward the fix
- Capacitor replacement: $185 to $340
- Condensate drain cleaning or repair: $120 to $275
- Blower motor replacement: $400 to $750
- Refrigerant leak repair (with recharge): $450 to $1,200 depending on leak location and refrigerant type
- Thermostat replacement or upgrade: $150 to $450 including parts
- Full AC installation (system + labor): $5,800 to $11,500
Those numbers reflect what we see across Tampa, St. Petersburg, Brandon, and Largo homes we visit. Your exact price depends on your equipment and the fix, and you’ll always see it in writing before we touch a screwdriver.
Fast, Local AC Repair & Installation
We are built for the pace of a Tampa summer. When the heat index hits 100 and the humidity sits like a blanket, a broken AC isn’t an inconvenience, it’s a household emergency. We keep our response times tight: most Tampa calls get a technician the same day, and we stock common repair parts for all nine brands we service, so a capacitor, contactor, or blower motor doesn’t have to be ordered and reordered while your family sweats through dinner.
Here’s how a typical repair call goes with us, step by step:
- You call (728) 212-0500. A live person answers, day or night. No voicemail queue, no press-1-for-service maze. You tell us what’s happening, and we give you a straight answer on timing.
- We arrive in a marked van, in uniform. Our technicians are background-checked and trained to respect quiet hours, school routines, and nervous pets. Shoe covers go on before we walk through the door.
- We diagnose and show you the written price. Before any work starts, you’ll see the exact dollar amount. No guesswork. If you decide not to proceed, that’s your call. No pressure.
- We fix it, clean up, and take a photo. Drop cloths go down to protect floors, and we text you a photo of the clean-up before the crew rolls out. Not an upsell. Part of the Cedarwell Care Promise, every job, every time.
- You get the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No runarounds, no fine print.
Luis Serrano, who leads our Tampa team, built this process around one simple idea: a family should never have to choose between keeping a house cool and keeping it clean. That’s why our C.A.R.E. values aren’t a poster on the wall. Clean up like it’s their own home. Ask before moving anything. Respect the family’s time and quiet hours. Explain the price before the work. Every technician follows it, every visit.
Areas We Cover
We work all across the Tampa Bay area, and we know these neighborhoods by name, not by zip code. From the bungalows of Seminole Heights to the new construction in Wesley Chapel, from the condos along Bayshore to the family homes in Valrico, our trucks are on the road every day. We serve Tampa, St. Petersburg, Brandon, Largo, Palm Harbor, Wesley Chapel, Valrico, and Egypt Lake-Leto, plus the neighborhoods in between. If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, just call us at (728) 212-0500 and ask. We’ll tell you straight.
We’re part of the home services network under the Cedarwell family of HVAC companies, established in 2004, which means our Tampa customers get the benefit of two decades of systems and standards without losing the local feel of a team that actually knows their street.
What We Service and Install
Our technicians are factory-trained and field-tested on nine major equipment brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. That matters because a Goodman blower motor and a Lennox control board are not the same repair, and a tech who only knows one brand will waste your time and money guessing on the other eight. We don’t guess.
For repairs, we handle the full range: refrigerant leaks, failed capacitors, clogged drain lines, frozen coils, faulty thermostats, Compressor Repair and the strange rattles, drips, and smells that mean something isn’t right. If a repair doesn’t make sense because your system is past its serviceable life, we’ll tell you that too. Not as a sales pitch, as a math problem. A 16-year-old R-22 system with a leaking evaporator coil is often better replaced than patched, and we’ll lay out the numbers so you can decide.
For our ac repair installation services, we size the system to your home, not the other way around. Too many Tampa homes run on units that were oversized or undersized by a previous installer who skipped the load calculation. An oversized AC short-cycles, runs up humidity, and wears itself out early. We do the calculation properly, and we protect your floors and air quality while we work. Drop cloths on every visit. Shoe covers at the door. A photo of the clean-up before we leave.
A Quick Note on Safety
AC systems involve high-voltage wiring, refrigerant under pressure, and components that can cause serious injury if handled by someone without training. We always suggest leaving electrical, refrigerant, and compressor work to a licensed professional. If your AC is making a loud buzzing sound, smelling like burning, or tripping breakers, turn the system off at the thermostat and call us. Those are the jobs where a fast, professional response matters most.

FAQs
How fast can you get to my home in Tampa?
Most Tampa calls get a same-day visit from our team, and we answer the phone 24/7, so you don’t lose hours to hold music. Call (728) 212-0500 and we’ll give you a real arrival window. Nights, weekends, and holidays don’t change the promise that a live person picks up.
Do you serve my area? I’m in Brandon (or Largo, Wesley Chapel, etc.)
Yes. We cover Tampa, St. Petersburg, Brandon, Largo, Palm Harbor, Wesley Chapel, Valrico, and Egypt Lake-Leto, plus surrounding neighborhoods. If your address falls outside those areas, we’ll tell you right away when you call and help you find someone who can help.
How much will my AC repair cost in Tampa?
Most repairs in the Tampa area run $150 to $650, with specific parts like capacitors in the $185 to $340 range. Full installations land between $5,800 and $11,500. You’ll always see the exact price in writing before any work begins. Call (728) 212-0500 for a free estimate.
Can you come after hours or on weekends?
Yes. A live person answers at 3 a.m. on a Sunday the same way they answer at noon on a Tuesday. If your AC fails overnight in the middle of a Tampa summer, you can reach a real person who can dispatch a technician. That’s been a non-negotiable at Meadowsweet since day one.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my AC?
It depends on the age of the system, the part that failed, and the long-term math. A capacitor replacement on a 7-year-old unit is almost always worth fixing. A AC Replacement on a 15-year-old R-22 system with a compressor failure often makes more sense. We’ll show you the numbers for both paths and let you decide. No pressure, no fine print.

What Our Customers Say
"New AC install. The crew protected the hallway floors the whole way to the attic and vacuumed up after. They worked quietly around my son's online classes without me even asking."
- Everett Hsu"AC quit in a heat wave. The tech laid a mat down inside, wore booties, and had us cool within the hour. Left zero mess and was gentle with our old dog."
- Orlando Beck"Comfortable in every room now, and not a trace that a crew had been here. Booties, drop cloths, the works. They even wiped down the thermostat they'd handled. Really considerate."
- Lamar Finch
