HVAC Services We Offer

At Southern Air, we proudly provide comprehensive services for every aspect of your heating and cooling system. No matter what problem you are facing, our knowledgeable technicians have the skills and know-how to assist. 

HVAC Repair

Air conditioners and heaters have a lot of moving parts and there are many points where something can go wrong and break. Few things are as frustrating as having a broken AC in the sweltering Welaka summer, so contact an expert to address your HVAC issues quickly. Common examples of HVAC issues we encounter include:

  • Dirty filters
  • Broken compressors
  • Malfunctioning blower motors
  • Damaged coils
  • Drain line leaks

HVAC Replacement

Most residential HVAC systems last anywhere between 15 and 20 years before needing replacement. We can help you find a new air conditioning and furnace unit from the top brands in the industry that fit your needs and budget.

HVAC Maintenance

Don’t forget to schedule regular tune-ups and maintenance to keep your HVAC equipment and system in top working condition!

Signs You Need HVAC Services

Regular HVAC services are the key to optimizing your energy bills and extending your system’s lifespan. If you notice any of the following signs, you should contact our HVAC contractor offices today. 

Low Airflow

A lack of airflow can be explained by a few issues such as clogged filters or a damaged compressor or blower motor. When airflow is low, your system performance suffers and heating and cooling are uneven. 

Bad Smells

Musty smells coming from your vents could be a sign that mold or algae is growing on your filters or the inside of your ducts. In contrast, a burning smell is usually a sign that your furnace is damaged. Malfunctioning heating elements and gas burners can create a smokey, burning smell. If you notice a smell like rotten eggs or sulfur, you may have a leak in your gas lines. 

Random Shutdowns

If your air conditioner or furnace randomly shuts down, it is probably a malfunctioning compressor. Most HVAC systems have a shut-down safety mechanism that will automatically shut down the system if it gets too hot or if the voltage is too high. 

Water Leaks

Water leaks are usually caused by clogged condensate drain lines or frozen coils. You can flush drain lines to clear blockages and clean your coils to prevent frost buildup and the ensuing leaks. 

High Energy Bills

One of the most common signs you have an HVAC issue is if your heating and cooling bills suddenly spike. Unoptimized HVACs work harder to get the same results which means your utility bills start to spike even though usage stays the same.

HVAC Services FAQ

Below is a compilation of answers to the most common questions we receive about our HVAC services in Welaka, FL. 

How Often Should I Get HVAC Services?

You should get professional HVAC services at least once per year. For best results, you can get service once every six months or more if you live somewhere with poor air quality or a dusty climate. 

When Is the Best Time to Get HVAC Services?

The best times to get HVAC services are during the early spring or the fall. Spring and fall are the off-seasons and demand for services is lower, meaning lower repair and installation costs.  

What Happens If I Neglect HVAC Maintenance?

If you neglect HVAC maintenance, your system is at a higher risk of breakdowns and your energy bills will be higher. Neglecting maintenance also reduces your system’s operational lifespan.

Southern Air exceeded all my expectations in all areas! Timely friendly professional service throughout their visit left me feeling confident my home will be properly cooled for the upcoming hot summer and warm for those rare winter days in North Florida! No need to ever look elsewhere for your HVAC service! If allowed I would have given a 10 star 🌟 rating!!
12/20/24 - Today, we stepped outside our standard "periotic, scheduled" routine!We're in the new home w/ a 1.5-yrold Trane system that, suddenly, ~10 days ago, began "growling" as the air handler spoioled up. Once on-speed, the growling sound faded away, but ... I believe the unusual sound was a "warning" of bad things to come, and I don't wait for "system failure" to seek corrective help!I called Gabbie, SouthernAir, ~1045, and by 1430, Justin was on-site! We talked, Justin listened very carefully, and monitored the fan start-up sequence; then methodically, w/ a solid theory, went to work! I'm not one who puts "bandaids" on discrepancies; Justin worked w/ that! He adjusted the speed of our blower fan, which, for now, has eliminated the "off-balance start-up growling" sound, with a "Plan B" to replace the blower fan with a balanced component as the future dictates!These guys and gals from SouthernAir really, really know their stuff, and we could not be more pleased!!-- End, This Event--We use periodic, scheduled maintenance to avoid breakdowns. So far, the concept has proven flawless! Robert Wright is our go-to tech; there can be no better example of customer service, and no better ambassador to represent his company! Somebody drives this Southern Air team to excellence - it, clearly, has caught on, and permeated their ops repeatedly, consistently, thoroughly, from the office staff to the tech's in the field! They are the Best!!1/31/23 - Consistently excellent, by every measure; On time, every time!! There can be none better!!10/11/23 -Robt Wright "bats _cleanup_" for a reason! He consistently hits it "outta the ballpark", and still finds quality time to educate me!We have a very "tight" space, tucked into our attic, where our air handler resides! How Robt negotiates that space is nothing short of miraculous! (He must be "part shape-shifter"!🤔)Beyond being incredibly well trained and technically knowledgeable, his people skills are truly impressive; an exceptionally polished, consumate professional; makes his job look and sound easy! He's the best, as are those administrators, managers, and leaders who support him! Southern Air really has their act together!!07/30/24 -Robert Wright is "our guy"! He IS, and DOES every single thing ... right! (No pun intended!) Robert IS the very best in the industry! He is continuously on top of his game; an A+ on every scale, by every metric!Southern Air continues to hit the ball outta the park, year after year; season after season, from price to communications to technical excellence and responsiveness in the field!
Response from the owner: Hello! Thank you for the glowing review for our team. We agree, our team and customers are the best around! Anytime you need us, we'll be here to help.
Southern Air just got themselves another customer, my son called around several other AC repair shops and we really didn't hear what we wanted until he called Southern Air and the nice lady (sorry I don't remember her name but thank you for your help in getting my AC fixed) that answered the phone got us set up with the technician right away. Big shout Thanks to Jason for coming out and fixing my AC unit. He was nice, kind and respectful, he told me step by step everything that happened. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SOUTHERN AIR AND JASON FOR GIVING ME COOL AIR AGAIN.
Ok, I just had southern air come out and completely replace my ducting and my unit and my house feels amazing. The tech's were awesome the owner even did my estimate and expedited my instillation! If you are thinking about someone else STOP! You get what you pay for! Enough said.
Response from the owner: Dakota I am pleased to hear of your recent service by Demare. All of our technicians are great and Demare is no exception. Great job Demare and thank you Dakota for your business!
The customer service at Southern Air is excellent . I called for an estimate for an air conditioner and Justin came that same day . He worked with us to find what would work for us to help control the humidity in our home . The next day the installers Matthew and Albert came and did a great job . Overall a great experience . Thanks!
Response from the owner: Thank you for the review! We appreciate your feedback Elaine.
