Skip’s Air Conditioning and Appliance Service, Inc.

Skip's Air Conditioning and Appliance Service, Inc. has kept Sarasota and Bradenton comfortable for more than three decades. The company holds an A+ accreditation with the Better Business Bureau and maintains Puron certification, reflecting adherence to industry standards for refrigerant handling. All 17 customer reviews award the full five stars, with clients consistently praising the owner's hands-on involvement and transparent communication. This family-owned operation serves residential, commercial, and industrial customers across both counties, handling everything from routine maintenance to complex system failures.

What distinguishes Skip's from other area contractors is the breadth of expertise under one roof. Rather than limiting themselves to climate control, the team tackles major appliance repairs across multiple categories: refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, dryers, and garbage disposals. The website offers what they call 'Skips Tips!' free educational content explaining how appliances operate, empowering homeowners to understand their equipment. This dual specialization in both HVAC and appliances means a single technician can diagnose and address multiple issues during one service call.

Reviewers repeatedly highlight Skip's personal touch when handling challenging situations. Shelley Mitrak described how the owner called her directly to work through a difficult AC problem in her 80-year-old home that had stumped other technicians. David Zmick appreciated that Skip honestly told him his freezer was beyond repair rather than committing him to an overpriced fix, earning a future referral for his air conditioning needs. Robert May, managing a rental property from Virginia, coordinated with tenants while Skip provided honest diagnostics on a microwave and reasonable repair costs that he helped document for insurance reimbursement.
