Robert is awesome! He went out of his way to make sure my AC is working as it should. Some people may have just brushed it off, but he replaced a part that wasn’t drawing the correct amps.

Southern Air is the Greatest company we've have had the pleasure of dealing with since moving to Putnam County. Our AC unit went out while I was away dealing with the passing of my mother. They were quick to respond with same day services for repair and an estimate for a new system. Jason and Jeremy were the Greatest guys ever. Southern Air should be Proud these guys were polite, courteous, and concerned for our well being with this heat. We tried another AC company, they came out once, left after speaking to me and never came back.
I love Southern Air. I'll never use any one else.
Update
April 3, 2025 and I'm still using Southern Air for all my AC needs.
Jason came out late for after hours repair and he was soo professional and Awesome. I can't praise him enough for how well he does his job. I have even bought a surge protector for my AC unit to protect it during Florida's thunder storms. I can always count on my Southern Air tech Jason to keep my AC running smoothly 👍🏽 Thank you Jason

Robert is awesome! He went out of his way to make sure my AC is working as it should. Some people may have just brushed it off, but he replaced a part that wasn’t drawing the correct amps. Replaced the part covered under my warranty. Very professional and honest work! Thank you for always providing honest and professional service!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Kerry! We're delighted to hear that Robert's professionalism and attention to detail made a difference for your AC system. It's important to us to ensure your system runs smoothly, and I'm glad we could address the issue under your warranty.

Robert is an excellent HVAC technician! I have been using Artic Air for years and became disgusted with their high pressure sales tactics. Robert handled my questions professionally-very informative. I highly recommend Southern Air. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you to the entire Southern Air team for their professionalism and prompt response.

Hi everyone,
Just had a great visit from Jamar from Southern Air 😀. He's a great guy, very efficient.
Was so super with my dogs 🐕 they are all bark when they meet someone new. Jamar made new friends with mine 💕....
He did a great job thoroughly checking everything out and giving the AC a tune up. Very polite and great follow through.
Thank you so much Southern Air

Today is May13,2024 and I am still extremely happy with Southern Air. My tech Jason was soo professional and handled my dogs 🐕 with the utmost care and respect. He did such a great job, I hope he gets a raise. He is going to do a follow up and replace my Air filter. Super nice guy.
Thanks Jason for a Job well done 👱‍♀️

Up date... Hi everyone, this the second time Demare Purifoy has been to my home. He is a great guy, who does an excellent job. Demare follows up with his customers. I've couldn't have asked for a better technician. Give this guy a raise!! He was great even with all 7 of my dogs.
Thanks Demare
Demare is Awesome as always... Explains everything he needs to do with your AC unit and gets the job done in a timely manner. Very professional and always polite.
Thank you Demare for a job well done....

Southern Air is the Greatest company we've have had the pleasure of dealing with since moving to Putnam County. Our AC unit went out while I was away dealing with the passing of my mother. They were quick to respond with same day services for repair and an estimate for a new system. Jason and Jeremy were the Greatest guys ever. Southern Air should be Proud these guys were polite, courteous, and concerned for our well being with this heat. We tried another AC company, they came out once, left after speaking to me and never came back.
I love Southern Air. I'll never use any one else.
Update
April 3, 2025 and I'm still using Southern Air for all my AC needs.
Jason came out late for after hours repair and he was soo professional and Awesome. I can't praise him enough for how well he does his job. I have even bought a surge protector for my AC unit to protect it during Florida's thunder storms. I can always count on my Southern Air tech Jason to keep my AC running smoothly 👍🏽 Thank you Jason
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Jill! We’re delighted to hear Dylan took such great care of you—and your pups too! 🐕🐾 It means a lot that you chose Southern Air for your AC needs. We’re always here to keep you comfortable!
