Serving Clearwater, FL · Pinellas County
How we serve Clearwater
Our St. Petersburg office is 14 miles south of downtown Clearwater on US-19; most Clearwater appointments dispatch within an hour during business hours. We see a steady pattern of salt-corroded condensers in beachside ZIPs (33767, 33770) — twice-yearly maintenance is the meaningful difference between a 10-year and a 15-year system here.
Clearwater climate note: Clearwater's coastal humidity and salt-laden Gulf air drive faster condenser corrosion than inland sites — beach-side units typically benefit from twice-yearly maintenance instead of the annual standard.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions: AC Installation & Replacement in Clearwater
How much does a new AC system cost in Clearwater?
A new AC system in Clearwater typically costs between $5,500 and $15,000+ depending on system size, SEER2 rating, and features. Hales AC offers free estimates and flexible financing to fit your budget. We also help you maximize available rebates and tax credits.
What size AC system does my Clearwater home need?
AC system sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window exposure, ductwork, and other factors. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact size needed. An improperly sized system wastes energy and won’t cool effectively.
How long does AC installation take?
Most residential AC installations in Clearwater are completed in a single day (6-8 hours). More complex installations involving ductwork modifications or multi-zone systems may take 1-2 days.
What SEER2 rating should I choose?
In Florida, the minimum SEER2 rating is 15. We recommend 16-20 SEER2 for most Clearwater homes, as higher efficiency systems pay for themselves through energy savings within 5-7 years in our hot climate. We’ll help you find the sweet spot for your budget.
