Professional Heating Solutions for Bradenton, Sarasota, & Tampa Homeowners
While Florida is famous for its heat, our winter cold snaps can put a sudden and intense strain on your HVAC system. Most homeowners don’t realize that their heating components—specifically electric heat strips and gas furnace burners—sit dormant for months, accumulating dust and debris that can lead to “burning smells,” inefficient operation, or even fire hazards when finally switched on. At Blue Jay, we provide specialized heating maintenance and emergency repairs to ensure your system transitions seamlessly from cooling to heating mode, protecting your indoor air quality and ensuring your family’s safety during the year’s first frost.
Preventative Safety Inspections
Optimized Energy Efficiency
Extended Equipment Lifespan
Our 4-Step Process for Guaranteed AC Repair Success
We follow a rigorous process to ensure every repair is completed thoroughly and professionally, minimizing disruption to your home comfort:
Load Calculation
We perform a Manual J calculation to size your system perfectly. An oversized unit cycles too often; an undersized one never cools. We get it right.
Custom Selection
Choose from top-tier brands (Carrier, Trane, Rheem, etc.) based on your budget. We provide options, not a “one-size-fits-all” sales pitch.
Expert Install
Our NATE-certified techs handle the ductwork, electrical, and drainage. 90% of a unit’s lifespan is determined by how it was installed on day one.
Final Calibration
We test airflow, refrigerant levels, and thermostat sync. We don’t leave until your home reaches the exact “Blue Jay Cool” temperature.
Complete HVAC Heating Services
24/7 Emergency Service
Immediate service for critical breakdowns outside of business hours.
Heat Pump Repair & Service
We specialize in troubleshooting heat pump systems that fail to switch into heating mode, ensuring your energy-efficient unit provides reliable warmth.
Gas Furnace Maintenance
Our team performs deep-cleans on furnace burners and ignition systems to guarantee safe, soot-free operation for homes with natural gas or propane.
Electric Heat Strip Replacement
If your air handler is blowing cold air in the winter, we can quickly replace burnt-out auxiliary heat strips to restore your home’s comfort.
21-Point Heating Tune-Up
Our seasonal heating safety check includes a full inspection of electrical sequencers, limit switches, and thermostat calibration for total peace of mind.
Thermostat & Zoning Control
We configure smart thermostats to manage “auxiliary heat” levels effectively, preventing your system from using expensive backup heat unnecessarily.
Reliable Warmth for Florida’s Chilly Nights
While Florida is famous for its sunshine, our winter cold fronts can put a sudden and intense strain on your home’s heating system. Whether you rely on an energy-efficient heat pump or a traditional furnace, Blue Jay provides the precision care needed to ensure your system is safe, efficient, and ready to perform when the temperature drops.
Why Seasonal Heating Maintenance is Non-Negotiable
Most Florida heating components sit dormant for nearly 10 months of the year, allowing dust and debris to accumulate on heat strips and burners. When finally ignited, this buildup can cause “burning smells,” reduced airflow, or even hazardous electrical issues. Our professional heating services eliminate these risks, protecting your indoor air quality and extending the lifespan of your equipment.
Comprehensive Safety Audits: we meticulously inspect heat exchangers for cracks and test for carbon monoxide leaks in gas systems to ensure your family’s absolute safety.
Peak Operational Efficiency: our technicians calibrate your heat pump’s reversing valve and electrical sequencers so you only pay for the heat you actually need.
Emergency Winter Support: when an unexpected frost hits the Sarasota-Tampa area, our 24/7 emergency repair team is ready to restore your home’s comfort immediately.

Bradenton, Sarasota, and Tampa Bay's New Favorite HVAC Company
Posted on Becky WinsorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Owen was great! He was knowledgeable, professional and honest.Posted on James ClapperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had old Air conditioner that was leaking from the coils been patched up a few times. Jerard contacted me and set up an appointment for a consult the same day. Decided on getting a new air conditioner and he explained everything in detail about all the air conditioner options we had. Had it installed the next day by Owen and Mike who were awesome and they explained everything they were doing as well. And not to mention, the price was much lower than the big companies so if you’re looking for air conditioner, repair or new one definitely contact them they will do you right!!Posted on Brian TownsendTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The tenant's AC quit working late on a Thursday night. I called Blue Jay. The owner answered and said he could be there within two hours. All other services couldn't make it until Saturday at the earliest, and some on Monday. AC was up and running quickly at a reasonable price in today's world. Highly recommend Blue Jay!Posted on Derek GaudioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Here's a review you could use: --- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Exceptional Service!** Jared from Blue Jay Cooling came out this evening and his professionalism was incredible. Clean-cut young man, the owner of the company, who went above and beyond. Despite it being late, he arrived at 11 PM and stayed until 12:14 AM to resolve our AC issue. He handled everything in a very professional and orderly manner. I highly recommend Jared and Blue Jay Cooling to anyone in the neighborhood. Fantastic service! --- DerekPosted on ChristianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great Work! Communicated and Explained everything and was bery easy to work with!!!Posted on Micah IngramTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great Company! Our unit is old and needed some help, Blue Jay got us on the schedule quickly and did everything they could to make it perform again. Would recommendPosted on Rose WhitewayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Want to give a huge compliment to jerad Jacob's. For being patient and explaining all the options, and also Owen and Mike, they got the job done pretty good time, very professional. Thank you for giving me cold air. Very satisfied client.Posted on Charles NebolskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were understanding of my needs. After talking with the owner only a few I knew I was working with good people. We made a deal that was good for both. Then the install was fast and very clean service reps, that knew the system well.Posted on Charles MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used various contractors over the years… Blue Jay Air Conditioning rivals the very best of them! The entire team were honest, hard working, professional all while taking great care to ensure every detail was meticulously attended to. From the first interaction until the final touches on the AC install, I was impressed with their personal touch and timely response and communication. They have my highest endorsement! It would be a mistake to not hire this company for your AC needs.Posted on Sarah ShortzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company’s customer service is unmatched. Jerad was going to come out same day on a Sunday for a really reasonable price. We decided to wait for the original company that installed to get back to us on fixing the unit. On Monday at 2pm, that other company came back and said it would be another day before they could get to us. We called Jerad back. Not to mention, Monday morning he called us to make sure it had gotten fixed. Jerad went and got the new motor himself and had it installed in that same evening at 6pm. We have a 7 month old and he heard him in the background on the call and said we will have it done today. No questions asked. Best customer service and saved the day for our family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my heater smell like it’s burning?
This is usually dust burning off the heating elements; however, if it persists, you should shut the system down and call us for an inspection.
What is the most efficient way to heat a home in Florida?
Heat pumps are the gold standard for our climate, as they move heat rather than creating it, saving you up to 50% on heating costs.
Do I really need to service my heater if I barely use it?
Yes—dormancy is actually harder on a system than regular use, as dust buildup and pest intrusions often occur during the summer months.
Do you offer financing?
Do we offer financing? Yes! We offer low-interest monthly payment plans to make a new system affordable immediately if needed.
