What Prime Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Inc. does

Prime Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Inc. is a privately held, family-owned HVAC contractor headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, operating since approximately 2001. The company delivers residential and commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning services organized into three core offerings: HVAC System Services (repairs, troubleshooting, hurricane season preparation, energy conservation, duct repair and replacement, indoor air quality analysis, remote monitoring, and manufacturer warranty service), HVAC Maintenance Services (pleated and polyester filter changes plus multi-point inspections covering refrigerant charge, compressor/fan amps, condenser coil cleaning, capacitor checks, thermostat calibration, blower evaluation, and drainage maintenance), and HVAC Installation Services (new construction and replacement with manufacturer and labor warranties). Technical capabilities include variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, heat load calculations, and remote monitoring — standard HVAC engineering rather than proprietary technology, and no AI/ML, app, or API surface is disclosed.

The business serves both residential consumers and commercial customers through a direct-to-consumer go-to-market: phone-based scheduling at (727) 527-7864, a website request-estimate form, Facebook, and customer reviews. Pricing is quote-based with free estimates, a 15% maintenance discount, and financing available for new installations. The company holds Florida State Contractor Certification CAC057307, NATE technician certification, OSHA certification, and is a member of RACCA and the Pinellas County Chamber of Commerce, with equipment brand relationships across Bryant, Carrier, Aaon, Trane, Panasonic, Gree America, and Therma Stor.

The commercial customer base spans at least 18 named accounts across roughly 15 verticals, including government (US Post Office, City of St. Petersburg Traffic Control Department), financial (Bank of St. Petersburg), religious institutions, industrial (Molex ETC Industrial Plants), healthcare/pharmaceutical (Pharmakon Labs), multiple construction firms (Scherer, JGV, Lampe, CHA, Lema), restaurant (Kado), retail/pawn (National Gold Exchange), real estate development (Kerr Developers), and hospitality/real estate (Shore Club Pasadena). With 15 employees and no disclosed revenue, funding, subsidiaries, or geographic expansion beyond Pinellas County, the company operates as a mature, single-market local contractor.
