The Original Definition of Air-Conditioning

  • To maintain a suitable degree of humidity in all seasons and in all parts of a building
  • To free the air from excessive humidity during certain seasons
  • To supply a constant and adequate supply of ventilation
  • To efficiently wash and free the air from all micro-organisms, effluvias, dust, soot, and other foreign bodies
  • To efficiently cool the air of the rooms during certain seasons
  • To either heat the rooms in winter or to help heat them
  • To combine all the above desiderata in an apparatus that will not be commercially prohibitive in first cost or cost of maintenance

The Original Definition of Air-Conditioning

Before I began working in the Tampa air conditioning industry, I’d always thought that an air conditioner’s function was to cool in the summer and heat in the winter. I just needed to push the up arrow for warmer and down for cooler.


As far as I was concerned, as long as pushing those buttons did what I expected them to do there were no problems, no matter how high my electric bill was, how uncomfortable some rooms may have been, or how low (or high) I had to set my thermostat to feel comfortable.


It was when those buttons didn’t do what I expected that I would call a company that deals in AC service in Tampa and, fingers crossed, they would come out, replace a part, and get me back up and running quickly without trying to sell me a new A/C!

Definition of Air-Conditioning

Here at The Comfort Authority we believe that the definition developed in 1908 still applies today, and we know that there is only one way to know for sure that your air conditioning system is doing what it was made to do.


To do that we must test the AC system, ductwork, insulation, and most importantly, understand the needs and wants of those living in the space. Many times the answer to a simple question like, “Do you even like the system?” reveals so much about whether or not your a/c system is performing how you want it to, yet when was the last time you were asked that question?


In addition to being able to solve the most complicated comfort concerns and improve the health of your home — all while providing peace of mind — The Comfort Authority offers the best Tampa air conditioning service and heating solutions, be it single stage cooling or variable compressor technology.

If that doesn’t mean anything to you, don’t worry, just know we can provide solutions for any budget, technical demand, and desire you may have. The Comfort Authority has it under control.

Call The Comfort Authority today at (813) 590-0196 to experience air conditioning in Tampa FL as it was meant to be! You deserve comfort, health, and peace of mind.

Should You Repair or Replace Your AC?


Check icon

The age of your AC unit

If your unit is more than 10 years old, it may be time to start shopping for a replacement. Newer units are much more energy-efficient, meaning they’ll save you money on your utility bills.

The Severity Of The Problem

A simple repair might be all that’s needed if the problem is minor. But if the issue requires extensive repairs, replacing the unit may be the better – and overall cheaper – option.

The Cost Of Repairs

Sometimes it’s cheaper to replace an old unit than it is to repair it. If you’ve been paying to repair here and there over the last few years, it may be cheaper to just replace your AC than keep repairing it.

    Edit 9/10/2025: Back again! For the past few years I have been a Comfort Authority "Comfort Plan" member and have received quite a few perks of the membership. Today might have been one of the BEST perks of all - a simple, honest walkthrough of my whole home to show me tips and tricks to keep my house at a comfortable temperature year round and especially during the FL summer! What prompted the call was that yesterday I had a run capacitor fail on my outdoor AC unit; knowing a thing or two about electricity I was able to replace it myself after doing the proper research - however I was concerned as to what CAUSED the capacitor to fail (as I just replaced it 15 months ago). So I called up Comfort Authority last night and this morning they sent CHRIS D. to my home. Chris checked my hard start kit (which they had previously installed) and after a very thorough discussion we determined the most likely culprit of my bad capacitor was AC short cycling. This sort cycling was a result of the natural location of the AC handler and thermostat in my home. Chris gave me an informative list of steps from changing my vents and strategically running ceiling fans to new thermostat and sensor options that will solve my temperature issues and my short-cycling. As a technical nerd, I had so many questions. Chris really seemed to care about not only helping me to understand the issues I am dealing with but he wanted me to save money as well - he wasn't just there to sell me new parts! Best of all, as a member, this visit was complimentary. I appreciate this company so much and they will continue to get my business and great reviews.... days like today and professional advice like this make being a comfort plan member worth every penny! ...... Edit April 2024: I've been a happy Comfort Authority customer for my AC and now they added the plumbing business! I'm thrilled with the professionalism, friendliness and beautiful installation of my new water heater. Eric and Gary did an excellent job on a difficult Hyrid Heat pump water heater. The price was right and the service was Excellent as always. The CA is my goto company for all my plumbing needs now... Thanks guys! ...... I had my AC installed by this company a few years ago. Steve and his team were exceptional then, and remain my go-to team for my HVAC needs. I just finished an inspection and the tech was on time, courteous and answered all of my nerdy questions about AC systems and airflows. Definitely would recommend these guys and their classical "golden rule type" friendly business model to anyone. This is one of the better companies (not just HVAC) that I've had the pleasure working with in Tampa or anywhere!
