AC repair and install in bungalows and infill

Kenwood and the older blocks are tight closets, garage handlers, and equipment that has been patched through a few owners. We start with a diagnosis: capacitor, contactor, frozen coil, clogged drain, a board that cooked. A change-out pitch because the house is historic is not a diagnosis.

Infill and downtown-adjacent buildings are a different load. Heat islands keep the outdoor unit working after sunset. West glass and a small lot change the number. We size for the house as it sits, not the sticker on a previous air handler. Full AC and heating list: services.

Same-day when we can. St. Pete is farther from the Palm Harbor shop than Dunedin or Clearwater, so it depends on the morning board. Emergency when the house is down and we are available.

Ductwork in historic bungalows and new infill

Original metal in a low bungalow attic. Flex stuffed into a bay that was never meant to hold it. A return under a hallway grate trying to serve the whole house. Infill ducts that were stepped on and left flat. That is ductwork.

• Repair: boots off, rusted fittings, a crushed section over a bedroom
• Modify: a Florida room or added bath that got a dump, a starved return, a second floor that was never on the original plan
• Replace: crumbling liner, rusted trunk, builder flex that will not hold a seal

We mastic joints. We do not re-tape what humidity and heat already beat. A Kenwood bungalow is not a north Pinellas ranch with a wide attic. We price what will actually fit.

Duct cleaning when the vents are actually dirty

Older registers that have not been pulled in a decade. Drywall dust left in an infill house that ran during finishes. Humidity making debris stick. Duct cleaning when supplies puff gray at startup or the first few feet of flex are coated. Not because the bungalow is old and a flyer said so. Cleaning a torn run is wasted work. We flag the leak first.

Attic insulation under a south Pinellas heat island

Historic roofs are low, odd, and often thin on fill. Infill attics bake because the lot has less shade than the bungalow next door. We measure. Blown-in for coverage. Batts on knee walls and odd bays. We do not quote depth from the driveway. Learn more: insulation.

Free combined duct + insulation assessment. A sealed run under a bare bungalow roof still sits in the heat.
