Heating & Air in Apollo Beach: what is different here
Apollo Beach is the one corridor town where a meaningful share of homes heat with gas: about one home in five uses utility gas, against roughly 1 to 7 percent elsewhere (ACS 2020–2024). That matters twice. TECO’s rebate also covers straight-cool systems paired with a new natural-gas furnace, though not propane (tampaelectric.com), and the Climate Zone 2 rule against electric-resistance primary heat on a full replacement is satisfied by a gas furnace or a heat pump, not by primary strip heat. The housing is new: the median home was built in 2010. The canal and US 41 points we checked are in FEMA’s coastal AE floodplain, with base flood elevations of 10 to 11 feet, so ask how and at what height the condenser will be anchored.

Before you hire an air-conditioning contractor in Apollo Beach
- A CAC, RA, CMC or RM number on the quote, checked on the DBPR portal. A Class C license is limited by statute to “the servicing of” systems; ask how that covers a replacement.
- Who pulls the mechanical permit; expect a mechanical final and an electrical final from the county.
- A Manual J load calculation and Manual S selection, in writing, with the latent capacity shown.
- The refrigerant of the new unit, R-410A or an A2L such as R-454B or R-32, and the EPA 608 card of whoever charges it.
- The SEER2 figure and the AHRI certificate: at least 14.3 SEER2 for a split air conditioner under 45,000 Btu/h installed in Florida, and 14.3 SEER2 / 7.5 HSPF2 for a split heat pump.
- Whether a duct leakage test and written report apply to your job, if any ductwork is new or replaced.
- If it is 15.2 SEER2 or better and ducted: the TECO rebate as a line item, if the contractor applies for it.
- Insurance certificate ($100,000 liability, $25,000 property damage) and workers’ comp if they have employees; on a home job over $2,500, the lien-law notice in the contract (§ 713.015).
