Not every AC job is a replacement. New construction, room additions, converted garages, screened-in porches, and older homes that never had central air all need a system designed from scratch — not swapped in for an old one. Alvarez designs and installs new AC systems across Tampa Bay, starting with your space’s actual cooling needs rather than assuming what a “standard” system should be.
This page covers new AC installations — new construction, additions, and spaces that have never had AC. If you already have a system that’s failing, aging, or needs frequent repairs, that’s a different job: visit our AC Replacement page for repair-vs-replace guidance, signs your system needs replacing, and our replacement process.
We install and service all major residential and commercial AC brands, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, American Standard, York, Daikin, and Mitsubishi. We’ll help you choose the right brand and model for your space and budget — not just the one we happen to have on the truck.
Not every space can accommodate traditional ductwork — a converted garage, a screened porch, or an older home addition often can’t take on the construction work new ducts would require. Ductless mini-split systems solve this by installing individual air handlers directly in each space, connected to an outdoor unit without any ductwork at all. We evaluate whether ducted or ductless makes more sense for your specific space before recommending either one.
Alvarez Plumbing & Air Conditioning was founded in 1976 — 50 years of licensed, family-owned service to Tampa Bay. Our HVAC division was added in 2016, bringing that same decades-long, written-estimate approach to new AC installations. When you’re investing in a system that needs to last 10-15 years, that’s the kind of tenure worth checking before you hire someone. We’re licensed (CAC1822951) and insured, and financing is available through Synchrony Bank.
If you have an existing AC system that’s failing or aging, that’s a replacement — see our [AC Replacement page]. This page is for spaces with no existing system: new construction, additions, or conversions.
Yes — ductless mini-split systems are designed for exactly this situation. We evaluate your space and recommend ducted or ductless based on what’s practical for your structure.
This varies more than a straightforward replacement, since new installations may involve new ductwork, electrical work, or mini-split line sets. We’ll give you a specific timeline as part of your written estimate.
