About Longboat Key

We're proud to serve Longboat Key.

Longboat Key is a barrier island, and barrier-island air conditioning is its own discipline. Equipment here lives in constant salt spray, and a condenser that would run fifteen years inland can be visibly corroding in half that. We service both the private homes and the condo associations along the key.

Why we offer service in Longboat Key

We specify differently for the key than we do for inland Sarasota: coated coils, corrosion-resistant hardware and more frequent maintenance intervals. It costs a little more at install and saves a great deal at replacement. Owners who have been through one premature condenser failure rarely need convincing twice.

A little about Longboat Key

Longboat developed later and denser than the mainland, with a concentration of mid-century and later condominium buildings alongside substantial private homes. Many of those associations run shared or roof-mounted equipment, which is commercial work in everything but name, and exactly the kind we do.

What Makes Us Different

What makes Black Jack Air unique?

  • The Epoch tower seen from the air with the low-rise Sarasota skyline and treeline behind.

    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.

  • A contemporary multi-story house featuring large windows and a sleek design, surrounded by palm trees. The property includes a spacious driveway and is set against a clear blue sky.

    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.

  • Precision over shortcuts

    Engineered thoughtfully, installed carefully, supported long after. What the reviews keep describing: clean sites, clear explanations, straight answers.

Longboat Key FAQ

Common questions about Longboat Key service.

If your question isn't here, 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.
