Air conditioning is essential in Florida’s climate, and the right system makes all the difference. Poulin Cooling A/C and Refrigeration installs central air, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and packaged systems for homes and businesses across Clearwater and the Tampa Bay area.
Every installation starts with a full evaluation: heat load calculations, precise measurements, and an inspection of your existing equipment and ductwork, so your new system is sized right and runs efficiently for years.
What we install
From central air to ductless mini-splits, we install the system that fits your home, layout, and budget.
The most common choice for Florida homes, sized to your home with a heat load calculation.
Efficient cooling in summer and heat on cool nights, all in one system.
Zoned comfort for additions, garages, and rooms without ductwork.
All-in-one units for homes with limited space and for commercial properties.
