Air Conditioning Repair In Gulfport, FL
If your air conditioner is no longer keeping your home cool, save yourself the headache and give Total Air Inc. of St. Pete a call. We have been providing service, maintenance and AC repair in Gulfport, FL since 2003.
On average, homeowners can expect to pay anywhere from $150 to $450 for minor repairs like fixing a clogged air filter or replacing a faulty capacitor. However, more significant repairs like replacing a compressor or repairing a refrigerant leak can cost anywhere from $500 to $2000 or more. The cost also depends on the brand, age, and condition of the AC unit. It's best to consult a professional HVAC technician to get a precise estimate for the necessary repairs.
If your AC is not cooling, check the air filter and thermostat settings. If those are not the issue, schedule a professional HVAC technician to inspect and diagnose the problem. It's essential to address the issue promptly to avoid further damage and ensure the proper functioning of the AC.
The lifespan of an AC unit depends on several factors, including the brand, model, and maintenance. On average, a well-maintained central AC unit can last between 10 to 15 years. However, some units may last longer with proper care and regular maintenance. It's important to schedule regular maintenance checks to extend the lifespan of the unit and address any issues promptly. Factors like excessive usage, extreme weather conditions, and lack of maintenance can shorten the lifespan of an AC unit.

Things To Consider Before AC Repair
Sometimes the trickiest aspect of air conditioning repair is deciding whether or not you actually need it. We are here whenever you may need us, so it is important you know when to call. Here are a few of the telltale signs you should contact your Gulfport AC repair professional.
- Your energy bills are climbing, and you can’t figure out why. While an HVAC unit may still be running, its energy efficiency can rapidly deteriorate over time.
- Different rooms or areas of your home are hotter or colder than the rest. An air conditioner that is working properly should be able to heat every corner of your house.
- You find yourself dusting more frequently than you used to. If your AC has a leaky duct, it could be clogging up your home with dust and debris.
If you find yourself experiencing any of these oddities, don’t hesitate to let Total Air handle your air conditioning repair needs. We can bring your home from hot and stuffy to cool and clean in no time. Our respectful technicians will perform whatever service your home requires with a smile on their faces and at an affordable price.

Came out here to diagnose package unit. It is a Goodman package unit. The condenser fan motor is a. 1/4HP I did not have a rescue motor on my truck for a condenser fan motor. All I have are blower motors I have five or six blower motors, but I don’t have any condenser fan rescue motors the tenant that lives here she has two boys. She does have a spot cooler in her bedroom, but if this could get changed around, she is going to try to see if she can work from home tomorrow which is Thursday so we can come out here and install this motor. Everything else on the system seems to be working OK. I don’t know how much damage was done to the compressor with this being a bad condensing fan motor. The compressor did try to kick on, but it was going out on thermal overload lockout. I tested the Run capacitor 45/5 it was good And it had good standing pressure if we could make it back out here in the morning to change out the condenser fan motor on this package unit and get this customer cooling w
Upon arrival the outdoor unit was not running. Found the capacitor to have failed. Customer wanted to replace with warranty capacitor. Once replaced found the compressor to be in thermal overload.

Checked electrical components and cleared and flushed the drain line. Filter is due for replacement. System ran for an hour and compressor is doing well at this time. Materials added 35/5 warranty capacitor

Office: please verify pricing and evaporator coil availability. Arrived at the home, and met with the nephew and the grandmother which owns the home. She did not want to renew my membership today due to her being on schedule for Friday. Nephew had told me that the unit had frozen up, and that he had shut the system down. Proceeded to do the diagnostics and found that it was low on refrigerant. due to being a newer unit, proceeded to do a quick Lee search. Most research was done at the evaporator coil, I did get random hits with my leak detector. I could not pinpoint exactly where the leak is, I did change my sensitivity settings to try and locate and pinpoint the leak. My detector detected, refrigerant in front of the coil in different areas on the “tiny” setting of my leak detector. also placed the leak detector underneath the coil and observed refrigerant hit, continue to the floor and once again observe the refrigerant hit. Refrigerant is heavier than air. Add 2 pounds of 410 to ke

Concern- no cool Cause - refrigerant leak Correction - added 3 pounds of refrigerant after that the refrigerant leak became visible then I pump down system to safe some of the Freon and the system was left in a pump down. Recommendations- new system due to its age and condition of the unit also repair refrigerant leak and the customer agreed with repairs. If tech have any questions please contact Angel.
Upon arriving customer informed me that starting as long as three weeks ago one of three heads was not cooling, as well as the other two. All three heads are connected to one condensing unit. After running a series of test, I determined that the system was slightly under charge as I checked temperature from the two heads that was cooling and was getting a outbound temperature of 59 to 60° while the third had had an outbound temperature of 67 to 68°. I added 2 pounds of refrigerant and now I am getting outbound temperature of the two original heads that was calling to the customers satisfaction of 54 to 55° and now the third head has an outbound temperature of 57°. I also see that the room temperature thermistor in the evaporator coil temperature thermistor is failing and I am recommending to have both the misters and the indoor control board replaced. Due to the mini times that the customer has been rescheduled for maintenance and the inconvenience that they have experience with one o
