A Legacy of Comfort in Crystal River & New Port Richey
Bay Area Air Conditioning has been a cornerstone of comfort for Florida residents since 1975. Founded by John and Mary Thompson, this family-owned business has grown from a small operation in Crystal River to a leading HVAC provider serving both Crystal River and New Port Richey communities.
Humble Beginnings
The company’s journey began when John Thompson, a skilled HVAC technician, decided to strike out on his own. With his wife Mary handling the administrative side, they started Bay Area Air Conditioning from their garage. Their commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction quickly earned them a loyal clientele.
Expansion and Growth
As their reputation grew, so did the demand for their services. In the early 1980s, Bay Area Air Conditioning expanded its operations to New Port Richey, opening a second office to better serve the growing community. This strategic move allowed the company to reach more customers and solidify its position as a regional leader in HVAC services.
Adapting to Technological Advancements
Throughout the years, Bay Area Air Conditioning has stayed at the forefront of HVAC technology. From the introduction of energy-efficient systems to the integration of smart home technologies, the company has consistently invested in training and equipment to provide cutting-edge solutions to its customers.
Community Involvement
Beyond their business operations, Bay Area Air Conditioning has been an active participant in local community initiatives. The company regularly sponsors youth sports teams, participates in charity events, and offers free HVAC check-ups for senior citizens during extreme weather conditions.
A Family Tradition Continues
Today, the second generation of Thompsons leads Bay Area Air Conditioning. John and Mary’s children, Sarah and Michael, have taken the reins, bringing fresh ideas while maintaining the core values that have been the company’s foundation for nearly five decades.
Services and Coverage
Bay Area Air Conditioning offers a comprehensive range of services, including:
- Installation of new HVAC systems

- 24/7 emergency services
The company’s service area covers Crystal River, New Port Richey, and surrounding communities, ensuring that residents and businesses in these areas have access to reliable HVAC solutions year-round.
Looking to the Future
As Bay Area Air Conditioning approaches its 50th anniversary, the company remains committed to its founding principles of quality, integrity, and customer satisfaction. With a team of skilled technicians, state-of-the-art equipment, and a deep understanding of Florida’s unique climate challenges, Bay Area Air Conditioning is poised to continue its legacy of keeping Florida cool for generations to come.
