Data as of November 2, 2026. Ads are public records from the Meta Ad Library and Google Ads Transparency Center. Lead-cost figures are still benchmarks and estimates, not a price from your ad account.
Use this page to budget HVAC leads in Tampa Bay. The national column is the published, reported, or estimated figure. The Tampa column multiplies it by 0.96×. Steady home-services demand, set a little under the largest metros. That factor is a judgment, not a measured Tampa cost per lead.
Write down two tickets before you buy: the cash you actually collect on a tune-up visit, and the average replacement. The ad can say $59 while the visit collects more in filters, capacitors, and the maintenance plan. Put the real average in the calculator. A tune-up that loses money on the day can still be worth it if the plan or the change-out is real. If those never happen, the tune-up is just a cheap lead that isn’t cheap.
In this pull, Tampa HVAC has 7 ads. The longest with a start date has been up 157 days: Tampa Bay AC Inc., Discount. Data as of November 2, 2026.
| Channel | National | Tampa planning | What the number is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google search | $128.38 | $123 | Blend of published medians Straight average of two published medians: air conditioning installation and repair at $127.74 (CPC $9.68) and heating and furnaces at $129.02 (CPC $9.30). A tune-up lead and a system replacement are not the same lead. |
| Meta | $49.76 | $48 | Estimate Estimate. WordStream’s Home & Home Improvement leads median is $41.26 and is not split by trade. This cell starts there and scales halfway toward how far Air conditioning and heating ($128.38) sits from the $90.92 home-services search median. Unrounded: $49.76. |
| Angi | $20–$50 | $19–$48 | Reported range, not a rate card One secondary source reports $20–$50, shared with about 3–5 contractors. Angi does not confirm it. We did not find a second public range worth widening this band. |
| Thumbtack | $50–$200 | $48–$192 | Outside observation Observed range of $50–$200 or more, from one firm’s Pro-app notes in October 2026. Not a Thumbtack rate card. Service calls and system replacements sit in the same wide band. |
