AC Replacement & Installation in Sarasota, FL

Professional Air Conditioning Replacement & Installation

Tri County Air Conditioning & Heating has proudly provided expert AC replacement services to families and businesses in Manatee, Sarasota, and Charlotte counties since 1977. As a multi-generational, family-owned company, we deliver the personalized service of a small business with the capabilities of a larger organization.

With over 100 skilled team members, we’re equipped to handle everything from home AC replacement to complete replacement for commercial properties. We combine decades of experience with genuine care, operating with Christian values and a mission that guides every service we perform:

“To comfort all in such a way that they are compelled to tell others about their experience and it honors the Great Comforter, Jesus Christ.”

When your cooling system no longer keeps your home comfortable, replacement may be the smarter long-term choice. Tri County Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc. offers AC replacement services and ac installation services for homeowners who want dependable comfort, better efficiency, and a system built for Florida’s heat.

Some signs your AC may be ready for replacement include frequent repairs, uneven cooling, rising energy bills, unusual noises, or a system that runs constantly without reaching the temperature you need. A Comfort Advisor can review your current equipment, explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense, and help you choose a system that fits your home.

Tri County Air installs central AC systems, ductless mini-splits, and heat pumps for homes throughout Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte Counties. Central AC is a strong choice for whole-home comfort, while ductless mini-splits can help with additions, garages, guest spaces, or rooms that need more targeted cooling. Heat pumps can also be a practical option in Florida because they provide efficient cooling and light heating when temperatures drop.

A new AC system is an investment in comfort, so planning matters. Tri County Air offers free estimates and helpful HVAC financing options to make replacement easier to manage. Customers on the current page mention trusted service, knowledgeable technicians, and confidence in the units Tri County Air installs, maintains, and repairs.

OUR MANUFACTURERS

WE ARE ABLE TO INSTALL AND SERVICE ALL MAKES AND MODELS, BUT THESE ARE OUR FAVORITE:

We have decades of experience working with various manufacturers of equipment for A/C replacement. Over the years, we have watched as the industry changed from creating systems that were durable to ones that are more efficient and facilitate a better comfort experience. Just like any other appliance in your home, A/C systems don’t last as long as they used to. Due to more frequent repairs, we have decided to partner with the manufacturers who have stood the test of time in providing the best response time for warranty parts, service assistance, and who have proven to have a customer-centric mindset. We put our customers first and we want to promote the manufacturers who do the same. Therefore, we are confident that our installation of a system created by one of the above manufacturers, Lennox or York, will provide you with the best comfort experience available.

DAVE SCHMIDT

OVER 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

In 1989, I moved to Florida from South Jersey Shore and began working in the air conditioning and heating industry. I worked my way up and was promoted to Sales Manager at the end of that same year. In 2004, I decided to start my own A/C business and led my company until 2011. I proudly brought my customers to Tri County Air in 2012 and I have worked here ever since designing systems as a Comfort Advisor. The best part of my job is being able to meet people from all over the US and fulfill their needs.

GREG MURRAY

OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. I moved to Florida in 1995 after graduating high school. I have been in the HVAC industry ever since then. I started in the HVAC industry answering telephones and dispatching service technicians. After a couple of years, I handled bookkeeping and marketing for the business. In the late 90’s I went to work for Sears, Roebuck and Company as an estimator for their Home Improvement Product Services Division (SHIPS). I have been an HVAC installer for residential and commercial new construction and replacements projects. After wearing several hats in the industry, I found a home here at Tri-County Air, where we will both celebrate our 50th birthday in 2027. I met my wife Heather in 2002. We are volunteers for our local Bassett Rescue, and we are currently proud parents of 3 Bassett hounds ourselves. When I am not working, I enjoy golfing, fishing and boating. I enjoy every opportunity that I have to meet with our customers, determine their needs, and provide them with budget friendly solutions.

TYLER GREEN

OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

I was born in Tampa along with my twin sister. Two short months later, my family moved to North Port and I have been there ever since. In 2006, I started working at Tri County Air, four months after graduating from North Port High School. I am married to my amazing wife Destiny, and we are parents to three crazy boys. We are devoted Tampa Lightning and Buccaneer fans. Since joining the Tri County Air family, I’ve done everything from new construction HVAC rough-ins to new equipment system installations; I have been a Service Technician and a Comfort Advisor. What I appreciate most about Tri County Air is that they are a Christian based company. The thing I truly love most about my job is my ability to use my knowledge to find solutions that best suit my customers and to meet their comfort needs.

I was born and raised in Venice, FL and graduated from Venice High School in 2004 where I met my beautiful wife, Cortney.

I was also a firefighter for the City of Venice until a knee injury forced me out of firefighting. The best part about my job here at Tri County Air is getting to meet so many homeowners. I enjoy tough challenges and coming up with the best options and/or solutions for their comfort. When I’m not working, I am spending time together with my family. I also enjoy playing golf and cheering on the FSU Seminoles and Miami Dolphins!

OVER 8 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Originally from Indiana, I bring over 8 years of experience in the HVAC industry, working in both northern climates and the unique heat and humidity of Florida.

My hands-on technical background helps me look at the entire system and provide customers with solutions that make sense for their home, comfort, and long-term goals. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time at home with my wife and young son and making the most of our time together as a family.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

"I felt this was best estimate by far. This afternoon, my air conditioner quit. I called Dave, he returned my call right away after hearing my dilemma and scheduled me for the following Friday for a new install. I was pleased that he could do it then. Thank you Dave."

"My family and I have been with Tri County for many years, why I left I will never know? I have tried two other companies in the meantime, dissatisfied and once again a customer of Tri County. I imagine that is what it took for me to see the difference between other companies compared to Tri County's service and their professionalism! I would recommend Tri County hands down!"

"I have trusted Tri County AC & Heating for several years now and they have never let me down. Their techs are courteous and very knowledgeable about the units they install, maintain and repair. I recommend them completely."
