AC Repair & HVAC Service in Sarasota, FL

We have served the Sarasota area since 2005. We will be straight about where we are: we do not have an office inside the Sarasota city limits. Our Lakewood Ranch office on Town Center Parkway sits just north of University Parkway, the county line, which puts Fruitville, The Meadows and the rest of north and east Sarasota a short drive away. We also work downtown and south through Southgate, Bee Ridge, Gulf Gate and Palmer Ranch, and in Lakewood Ranch Waterside.

7th Generation is family owned and operated, licensed and insured under CAC 1817105. We offer same-day service, free estimates and upfront pricing, our technicians are not on commission, and we are a 24/7 emergency provider.

A/C Repair in Sarasota

Much of Sarasota was built in the 1950s through the 1970s, and those block ranch homes often still run on their original duct layout, in attics that reach well over a hundred degrees in summer. Leaky or undersized ductwork in a house like that makes a healthy air conditioner look like a failing one, so we check airflow before blaming the equipment. Sarasota also has a large number of seasonal homes, and a house that sits closed up for months has its own failure pattern: a condensate drain that clogs with nobody there to notice, and humidity that climbs once the system stops.

These are the air conditioning repairs we handle in Sarasota:

• ✓ A/C not cooling or blowing warm air
• ✓ Refrigerant leaks & recharges
• ✓ Compressor & capacitor failures
• ✓ Frozen evaporator coils
• ✓ Water leaks & drain line clogs
• ✓ Short cycling & poor airflow
• ✓ Strange noises or odors
• ✓ Thermostat malfunctions

If you are away for the summer, having the system checked before you leave and again before you return is the cheapest insurance there is against coming home to a hot, damp house. Our A/C maintenance page covers what a tune-up includes, and our A/C repair service page covers the rest.

24/7 Emergency HVAC Repair in Sarasota

We are a 24/7 emergency service company. We answer every time you call — nights, weekends and holidays — and we get a technician to your Sarasota home as soon as possible. In a Florida summer a house with no air conditioning heats up within hours, and that is not something to wait out until Monday.

Before you call, two quick checks are worth making: the breaker for the outdoor unit, and the float switch beside the indoor air handler, which shuts the system off when the condensate drain backs up. If neither is the cause, call us, then close the blinds on the sunny side of the house and run the ceiling fans while you wait.

Heating, Heater and Furnace Repair in Sarasota

Sarasota needs heat for only a few weeks a year, and that is the problem. A heating system that sits idle for ten or eleven months collects dust and gives weak parts time to fail unnoticed, so the first cold front each winter produces a wave of no-heat calls. A brief burning smell on the first run is dust on the heating elements and should clear in minutes.

Most Sarasota homes heat with a heat pump or electric heat strips in the air handler, and some have furnaces. We repair all of them: heating repair on all makes and models, furnace service and tune-ups, and seasonal maintenance. We also repair and install pool heaters, which see far more use in Sarasota than the house heat does. See our heating repair and pool heater repair services.

Heat Pump Installation and Repair in Sarasota

A heat pump is the natural fit for Sarasota’s climate. It is an air conditioner that can run in reverse, so one system handles cooling for most of the year and heating for the few weeks that need it, and it heats far more efficiently than electric heat strips. If your home still relies on strip heat alone, replacing the outdoor unit with a heat pump at the next changeout is usually the single biggest improvement you can make to winter electric bills.

We repair and install heat pumps, including the failure that confuses people most: a stuck reversing valve that leaves the system blowing cold air when you asked for heat. We install Trane, Ruud/Rheem, Carrier and Comfortmaker. See our heat pump installation and repair page.

HVAC Service and Maintenance in Sarasota

Air conditioning in Sarasota runs most of the year, which is far more work than the same equipment does up north. Routine HVAC service is what keeps a small problem — a weak capacitor, a slow drain, a dirty coil — from turning into a no-cool call in August. New customers can book our $29 40-point maintenance inspection and tune-up.

When a system does reach the end of its life, we handle the full replacement: a free in-home estimate and load calculation, removal and disposal of the old unit, and permitting handled for you. Most residential replacements are completed in a single day, and financing is available through Synchrony Bank. See A/C maintenance and A/C installation and replacement, or our ductwork and air quality and smart thermostat services.
