True AC Review: 88 Degrees Inside, Fixed First Thing the Next Morning

Central Florida · Customer Stories

Ruth Hernandez came home to a warm house and a thermostat reading 78. By midday the next day it said 88 degrees inside, and that is when she called True AC. They were there first thing Friday morning, looked at the unit, and gave her a straight answer: it was unrepairable. Her verdict opens the video: "Would I recommend True? Yes, definitely... they're going to treat you like family."

Before you call: the two-minute checks

A surprising share of "dead AC" calls end at the thermostat or the filter, so check the free stuff first - and if these do not fix it, you have just given the dispatcher a better description of the problem.

  • Thermostat set to COOL, batteries alive, setpoint below room temperature
  • Breaker for the air handler and the outdoor unit not tripped
  • Filter not caked shut - a suffocated system can freeze its own coil and stop cooling
  • Outdoor unit running and not buried in leaves or vines

Surviving a Florida house with no AC

  • Close blinds on the sun side and shut doors to rooms you are not using
  • Run ceiling fans counterclockwise - they cool people, not rooms, so point them at people
  • Skip the oven and the dryer until the system is back
  • Check on elderly family members and pets; an 88 degree house is a health issue, not a comfort issue

When "unrepairable" is the honest answer

No one enjoys hearing it, but sometimes the diagnosis Ruth got is the truthful one: a compressor failure on an aging unit, or a major repair on a system built for refrigerant that is no longer produced, puts repair money into a machine at the end of its life. The honest test of a company is whether it explains WHY - showing you the failed component and the math - rather than just handing you the bigger number. Ruth called True because they had sponsored her son's baseball team for years and she "wanted an honest opinion." That is exactly the right hiring criterion.

The answers Central Florida homeowners ask us most often.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing and AC service?

How quickly can you get to my home?
We dispatch 24/7 from four offices across Central Florida (Lakeland, Plant City, Auburndale, and Bartow), so a technician is never far away. Emergencies are prioritized, same-day appointments are often available, and the dispatcher gives you a clear arrival window when you book.
What happens when I call or book online?
You talk to a real dispatcher (or pick a time online), describe the problem, and get an arrival window. A licensed technician diagnoses the issue at your home and quotes the exact price before any work starts. Nothing begins until you approve it.
How does pricing work?
Upfront and in writing. After the technician diagnoses the problem, you get the full price before any work begins, and that price does not change mid-job. True Home members also pay no dispatch fees and get 5% off every repair.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Lakeland, Plant City, Winter Haven, Zephyrhills, Wesley Chapel, Davenport, Tampa, Englewood, and the surrounding communities across Polk, eastern Hillsborough, and Pasco counties.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We finance projects up to $65,000 on approved credit through trusted lending partners, with terms from 3 to 120 months and 0% APR available up to 24 months for eligible customers. You can check your options in about a minute with no impact to your credit score.
Are there any discounts or plans?
The True Home Membership covers your plumbing, HVAC, and roof for $24.99 a month: annual inspections, no dispatch fees, 5% off every repair, priority scheduling, and priority storm response. Financing is also available on bigger jobs.
What services does True Plumbers & AC provide?
Plumbing (drain cleaning, leak detection, repiping, water heaters, and more), air conditioning (repair, maintenance, and installation), and whole-home water systems (softeners and filtration). One company, one call, for all three.
