Gemaire Distributors

Gemaire Distributors has operated as an HVAC equipment supplier in Clearwater, Florida since 1983, serving contractors across Pinellas County and the greater Tampa Bay region. The distributor holds a valid state license for wholesale HVAC distribution and maintains an A rating with the Better Business Bureau. With 8 customer reviews on record averaging 4.1 stars, the company stocks equipment from major manufacturers including Carrier, Trane, and Rheem. Gemaire serves contractors in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Largo, and surrounding communities, providing condenser units, coils, thermostats, and replacement Components to licensed HVAC professionals. The warehouse-style counter operation allows contractors to pick up parts same-day or place will-call orders for pickup from distant branch locations.

What distinguishes Gemaire Distributors is its focus on contractor-only distribution, meaning the company supplies equipment exclusively to licensed HVAC professionals rather than homeowners directly. This business model enables bulk pricing and rapid parts access for trade customers. The Clearwater location maintains a full inventory of condenser blades, capacitors, contactors, and other common replacement components. Contractors can request will-call transfers from other regional branches including the St. Pete location, saving additional trips. The distributor offers no installation labor or residential service calls, positioning itself squarely as a trade supplier.

Customer reviews reveal mixed experiences. Michael Goodwin awarded 5 stars, praising Mike and crew as the most knowledgeable team in the area. Preferred Mechanical, a contractor, gave 4 stars after noting the Clearwater counter representative placed a will-call order from the St. Pete branch, avoiding an extra phone call. However, one homeowner gave 1 star after discovering Gemaire sells only to contractors and reported a dismissive response when inquiring about a $650 part that retails for $50. The review underscores that Gemaire is not a residential service provider and homeowner direct purchases are not accepted.
