Winter in Tampa Bay doesn\u2019t so much mean turning up our heaters as it does turning off the ACs. Yes, you\u2019ll need a central heating system working at times, and heat waves can always swing through and force your air conditioning system back into action. But during most of this month and the next two, you won\u2019t have to depend on your heating and cooling system too often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lull in the weather extremes makes winter an ideal time for an AC system installation in Tampa, FL<\/a>. Summer heat may feel distant, but it can arrive faster, and sudden heat waves are simply a way of life. With our technicians less busy handling air conditioning repair emergencies, they\u2019re available to help you find the best new air conditioner and have it installed at a convenient time. You\u2019ll be ready for the next hot day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Do I Know It\u2019s Time to Get a New AC?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, find out how old your current air conditioner is, if\nyou don\u2019t already know. The manufacturer\u2019s date is located on a plate on the\nback of the condenser. If the AC is more than 15 years old, we recommend\nreplacing it, even if it\u2019s still working adequately. Once an AC is over 15\nyears old, it\u2019s at a greater danger of declining and abrupt failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an AC that\u2019s over 10 years old, it\u2019s more of a gray\narea. Put greater weight on other signs the AC is starting to fail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
