The work, in motion
The skyline we built.
Six Sarasota landmarks, the tonnage we installed in each, and the year it went in. Every figure comes from our own project records.
Supporting Sarasota's luxury residential properties
Engineered thoughtfully. Installed carefully. Supported after.
Since 2010 we have installed mechanical systems in more than twenty Sarasota landmark buildings, worked alongside custom-home builders from design through commissioning, and looked after the residential customers who live in them.
How it actually works
From the roof to the fortieth floor.
A commercial system is not a bigger version of a home unit. The plant sits on the roof, a riser carries conditioned air down through the building, and every floor takes what it needs and sends the rest back up. Designing, installing and balancing that is the work.
- Rooftop plant. Chillers and air handlers, sized to the building rather than to a rule of thumb.
- Riser. The vertical spine that carries conditioned air down through the structure.
- Floor distribution. Each floor takes what it needs, balanced so the top floor is not starved.
- Return. Air comes back up to be conditioned again, which is where efficiency is won or lost.

What Makes Us Different
What makes Black Jack Air unique?

We built Sarasota's skyline
More than twenty Sarasota landmarks run on mechanical systems we installed from new. When we service one we already hold the design intent and the history.
-
We engineer Sarasota's premier home systems.
We work alongside Sarasota's custom-home builders from design through commissioning, so the mechanical system is planned with the home rather than fitted into whatever space remains.
-

We Diagnose and Explain
A technician finds what failed and why, then walks you through it before any work begins. You approve the recommendation and the cost first.
-
We Fix It
The repair or install is completed, the site is left clean, and the work is documented. For maintenance customers it goes on the record so the equipment history stays current.

Google review, February 2025
“If you are any place near Sarasota, Florida, your biggest challenge is finding a competent, honest HVAC contractor. Donny just replaced a faulty thermostat. He properly diagnosed the problem. He wired it so that we could have AC until he could return with a new one. He came back as soon as he could get his hands on the new thermostat. Lizzie in the office kept us up-to-date on the status as it had to be shipped in. These people actually have factory trained technicians.”

“Black Jack Air went above and beyond for me. I reached out with a last-minute AC problem and they arrived promptly, diagnosed it right away, and had it fixed quickly. The price was reasonable and clearly explained, no surprises. What stood out most was how kind and friendly the team was, and how respectful they were in communicating with me. Professional, reliable, and fair, highly recommend!”

“A/C not working at home May 2026 and the fixed it quickly We have a rental house that was having a new roof installed and the roofers had put two nails in the a/c pipe which drained all the fluid out. The damage was in the attic and very difficult to get to but they got it fixed quickly and for a fair price. WE HAVE USED BLACK JACK FOR MANY JOBS OVER TIME AND THEY ARE GREAT”

Google review, March 2026
“Very pleased with this company. Service tech Ridge came out and troubleshot the problem. Turns out I did not need the condensation pump that I thought I needed! He saved me a bunch of money and fixed the real problem(s). Very professional and knowledgeable. Also, this was the only company that called me back, when I left a message.”

Frequently Asked
The most common questions.
If your question isn't on the list, give us a call, we answer the phone.
Do you offer maintenance agreements?
Yes, for both residential and commercial properties. An agreement covers scheduled visits and keeps a documented service history on your equipment.
How do I book a service call?
Call us at (941) 312-6527 or use the request form on our contact page. Customers regularly mention reaching a real person by phone, so calling is the quickest way to speak with our office.
What are your hours?
Our office is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with 24/7 service coverage. Existing maintenance-agreement customers receive priority when service demand is high.
Do you charge to diagnose a problem?
Our office will explain the applicable diagnostic charge when the appointment is scheduled, before a technician is dispatched. After the diagnosis, you receive our findings, recommendations and supporting pictures so you can see what is happening before repair work begins.
Will you tell me if a repair is not worth doing?
Yes. If a system is past the point where repair makes financial sense we will say so and show you the arithmetic. It works the other way too: one reviewer had two other companies tell him to buy a new unit, and we replaced a part instead.
How long have you been in business?
We have served Sarasota and the surrounding counties for fifteen years, across commercial construction, custom home construction, and residential service and maintenance.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Black Jack Air & Mechanical holds Florida license number 1816555. Florida requires contractors to display their certification number on advertising, and you should be suspicious of any contractor who does not.
What kind of work do you specialize in?
Our work includes commercial construction, custom-home system design, and maintenance and service for residential and commercial properties. We have installed mechanical systems in more than twenty Sarasota landmark condo towers, hotels and retail properties.
Do you work with builders and property managers?
Regularly. Custom-home builders and property-management companies make up a large share of our work. Builder Ryan Perrone wrote, "Blackjack Air consistently delivers for us, and their team is responsive, professional, and dependable."
Do you handle both residential and commercial?
Yes, and a number of our customers use us for both.
