Signs You Need HVAC Services in Welaka, FL 

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.

Great communication, Jason worked fast but took no shortcuts. I was very happy with today’s service.

Bought a new Heat Pump, had a minor thermostat issue and Justin showed up a couple hours after I called on Saturday morning. Problem solved, great people to do business with.

This review is for your technician Justin Coates. He has completed the last two scheduled inspections on our new a/c unit. Both times he delivered a very thorough check up and this time corrected a fan speed issue and adjusted the super heat.
We are very pleased with his work.
I am a retired a/c technician and I appreciate his attention to detail.

Jamar checked the air handler as it was making a strange noise. He said it most likely was doing that because the air filter was very dirty. I changed the filter last night & we could not hear it anymore. While he was here, he checked the system out & all was running ok!
Response from the owner:Louise, thanks for taking the time to share this. I’m glad Jamar was able to pinpoint the likely cause and that changing the filter solved the noise right away. We appreciate you choosing Southern Air, and it’s great to hear everything else checked out and is running well.

He was here for a couple of hours troubleshooting my AC as to why it wasn’t communicating with my Thermostat. He was on hold with the Lenex Technical Support and never got them to answer back. Another tech suggested a work around to test system and it worked. Got us a working unit until they could replace the wiring going to the electronics. Just a standard service call price.
Response from the owner:Richard we apologize for the inconvenience but appreciate your patience and understanding. We are diligently working with the manufacturer to get this resolved for you as soon as we can. Thank You!

Throughout the process he was professional, courteous and engaging in keeping us informed during the repair process. He proved to be a superb technician and a person of great character - 5 star.

    Southern Air has been great to work with; their techs are always on time, friendly, professional, and they explain things in an easy-to-understand way even if you don't know anything about how air conditioners work. Getting twice-yearly maintenance on my unit really gives me peace of mind that it's being kept up and if anything does go wrong I'll know about it before it gets too bad.

    We’ve had a great experience with Southern Air in Palatka, especially as members of their Comfort Club. It’s been a really great value for us because a technician comes out twice a year to check everything over and make sure our system is working well and staying on track.

    This most recent visit was with Dylan, and he was excellent—professional, thorough, and easy to talk to. He cleaned our vent and spent real time going through the system to make sure everything was running exactly as it should. You could tell he cared about doing the job right, not rushing through it.

    Highly recommend Southern Air, and if you’re considering the Comfort Club, it’s absolutely worth it.
    Response from the owner:Kristen, thank you for the kind review and for being part of our Comfort Club. I’m glad the twice-a-year checkups have been a good value for you, and that Dylan took the time to thoroughly go through your system, clean the vent, and make sure everything was running the way it should. We really appreciate the recommendation.
