Our slogan says it all: "We don't want to be the biggest, we want to be the best." That mindset has guided every service call, installation, and maintenance visit over the past 25-plus years. As members of the Gainesville Chamber of Commerce, the Gainesville Air Conditioner Association, and NADCA, and as a BBB Accredited contractor, we hold ourselves to a high professional standard for every Starke household and business we serve.
Starke is the county seat of Bradford County, set along US 301 northeast of Gainesville, with Lawtey to the north and Kingsley Lake just to the east. Summers here are long, hot, and humid, so air conditioners run for most of the year, and winter brings enough cold nights that a dependable heat pump or furnace matters. Homes range from older houses near downtown to newer builds, rural properties on acreage, and manufactured homes out in the county, and we service all of them. At A+ Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, we provide a full range of residential and commercial HVAC services built for the Florida climate.

Air Conditioning Services in Starke
From late spring well into fall, Starke afternoons stay hot and sticky, and a central air system that is undersized, low on refrigerant, or overdue for service shows it fast. Our team handles every part of residential AC service:
Central AC Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner is more than 15 years old, running inefficiently, or needing frequent repairs, it may be time for a new AC installation. We install American Standard systems and help you choose the right size and efficiency rating for your Starke home.
AC Repair and Emergency Service
When your AC stops cooling in the middle of a Bradford County heat wave, you need fast, reliable air conditioning repair. Our technicians arrive with fully stocked trucks and the experience to diagnose and fix most problems in a single visit.
AC Maintenance and Tune-Ups
The best way to avoid unexpected breakdowns is regular AC maintenance. Our tune-up covers a full inspection of your system, including refrigerant levels, coil cleaning, electrical connections, and airflow.
Heat Pump Services in Starke
Many Starke homes heat and cool with a single ducted heat pump. It handles the long cooling season like a conventional air conditioner, then reverses to supply efficient heat through most of the winter. When a hard freeze settles in, backup heat strips carry more of the load, and that is when a weak component tends to show up.
Mini-Split and Ductless Systems in Starke
Not every room in a Starke home is on the duct system. Garage conversions, sunrooms, workshops, additions, and older homes built without ductwork are a natural fit for a mini-split installation, which delivers heating and cooling exactly where you need it.
We install and service American Standard mini-split systems, known for quiet operation and energy efficiency. Our team also provides mini-split repair and mini-split maintenance to keep your ductless system running well.
Furnace Repair and Installation
Winter in Bradford County is short, but cold snaps still push overnight temperatures into the 30s, and a furnace that will not ignite cannot wait. We handle furnace repair for gas and electric furnaces, and we offer furnace installation and replacement using American Standard equipment.
Package Unit Services in Starke
Package units combine heating and cooling in a single outdoor cabinet, which makes them a common choice for Starke manufactured homes and houses with little indoor room for a separate air handler and furnace. A+ Air Conditioning and Refrigeration provides complete package unit services:
Indoor Air Quality Services in Starke
Humid air, heavy pollen seasons, and homes closed up against the summer heat give mold, mildew, dust mites, and other allergens room to build up. If your Starke home has musty odors, excess dust, or family members with indoor allergy symptoms, it's worth looking at your indoor air quality. We offer a full suite of IAQ solutions:
Air Quality Testing
Our air quality testing identifies exactly what's in your home's air, from pollen and pet dander to mold spores and volatile organic compounds.
Air Filtration and Purification
We install Aprilaire and Honeywell whole-home air filtration systems that capture particles your standard HVAC filter misses. These systems integrate into your existing ductwork and remove allergens, bacteria, and other contaminants.
UV Light Air Purification
Reme Halo UV light systems work inside your ductwork to neutralize mold, bacteria, and viruses. Our team at Envirovac, our in-house indoor air quality and duct cleaning brand, specializes in these installations. Learn more at Envirovac.
Humidity Control
Florida humidity doesn't stop at your front door, and in Starke it hangs on well past summer. Our Aprilaire and Honeywell whole-home dehumidification systems hold indoor humidity between 30% and 50%, preventing mold growth, protecting wood surfaces, and helping your AC run more efficiently.
Professional Duct Cleaning
Over time your ductwork collects dust, debris, pet hair, and even mold. Our Envirovac team provides thorough professional duct cleaning using specialized equipment to restore clean airflow throughout your Starke home.
Blown-In Insulation
Proper attic insulation is one of the most cost-effective energy upgrades in Florida. If your Starke home is losing conditioned air through the attic, our blown-in insulation service using Owens Corning products can make a noticeable difference in comfort and utility bills.
Commercial HVAC Services in Starke
A+ Air Conditioning and Refrigeration serves more than homeowners. Offices, shops, restaurants, and other businesses around Starke depend on reliable climate control. Our commercial HVAC team handles:
