Our ac stopped working the night before I called, so I called Southern Air first thing in the morning. They put me in at 1:30 and Joel showed up right on time. Joel was totally professional and quick to diagnose the problem with our unit. He repaired it in a very timely manner. I am extremely satisfied with Southern Air and will be recommending them to all our friends. Great job and great staff. 15 May 2020 Jason came by to service our AC unit. Once again an outstanding job. He also found a problem and corrected it on the spot. We can't be happier with the service Southern Air and Jason have done. We continue to recommend Southern Air a great company. 4 May 2021 Joel Rivera was our technician. He did an outstanding job. Cleaned the system checked everything and cleaned out our drain line. I can't express how happy we are with Southern Air. They are a great company and I recommend them highly. 12 Nov 2021 Joel Rivera was our technician. He was right on time and did a great job. Completely cleaned our system checked everything. We could not be happier with the service Southern Air does. We highly recommend them. 30 June 2022 Lavarus Smith was out technician. He was right on time and very professional. Cleaned and checked our system. He found us a little low on freon and topped off our system. We are very happy with their service, and highly recommend Southern Air. 4 July 2022 Demare Purifoy was our technician, great gentleman and extremely knowledgeable. Checked a problem we were having on the 4th. I could not ask for better service from any company I have ever delt with. Demare was a prime example of a great tech! Once again I highly recommend Southern Air! 5 April 2024 We have had Jason Klinger for our technician for the last couple of services. He is extremely good, very thorough and is the consummate professional. I totally trust his opinion and am extremely satisfied with his work. We highly recommend Southern Air. 17 April 2025 Jason Klinger was our technician. Once again he does go above and beyond. Our AC stopped working, it is an old system. Once again it was Jason to the rescue. We again highly recommend Jason and Southern Air! 10 May 2025 Matthew and Albert were the installers for our new heat pump unit. They were both hard working and totally professional. They did a great job removing the old system and installing our new system. Once again great job Southern Air. 13 May 2025 Jason Klinger was our technician. He came by and adjusted our new system. Our house is a little particular and the new system needed a little tweek. All is doing well and we couldn't be happier. Thanks again Jason and Southern Air! Of course we highly recommend them. 13 July 2026 Jason Klinger was our technician. Our system crashed on the 10th . It was diagnosed as a circuit board shorted. The part was ordered and shipped and installed on the 13th. Very professional very quick. Southern Air and Jason came through again. Of course I highly recommend Southern Air and Jason!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that Jason went above and beyond to help with your AC. We’re lucky to have him on our team, and we truly appreciate your continued trust in Southern Air. If you ever need anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Another “ feels like” 108° day and my ac wasn’t keeping up. I called Southern Air and as usual they had a tech out to me within two hours.

I would recommend Southern Air to anyone in need of an honest responsive AIRCONDITIONING service company.

The installation was excellent—no mess, completely professional, and the crew worked clean and efficiently. Truly a top notch job from start to finish. Service was fast, too: I called around noon on day one, and someone was out within a couple of hours. The estimator came the next day, and by the following day the new unit was installed. It’s been running like a dream. As I said, the installation was outstanding, and I’m really enjoying the new A/C unit. Thank you again for the exceptional work. This is the second A/C unit I’ve purchased from Southern Air—the first one lasted 19 years. Their sales, installation, and service are consistently top notch, exactly what you need in this Florida heat.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Gary, for your feedback and for choosing Southern Air again.

Our ac stopped working the night before I called, so I called Southern Air first thing in the morning. They put me in at 1:30 and Joel showed up right on time. Joel was totally professional and quick to diagnose the problem with our unit. He repaired it in a very timely manner. I am extremely satisfied with Southern Air and will be recommending them to all our friends. Great job and great staff. 15 May 2020 Jason came by to service our AC unit. Once again an outstanding job. He also found a problem and corrected it on the spot. We can't be happier with the service Southern Air and Jason have done. We continue to recommend Southern Air a great company. 4 May 2021 Joel Rivera was our technician. He did an outstanding job. Cleaned the system checked everything and cleaned out our drain line. I can't express how happy we are with Southern Air. They are a great company and I recommend them highly. 12 Nov 2021 Joel Rivera was our technician. He was right on time and did a great job. Completely cleaned our system checked everything. We could not be happier with the service Southern Air does. We highly recommend them. 30 June 2022 Lavarus Smith was out technician. He was right on time and very professional. Cleaned and checked our system. He found us a little low on freon and topped off our system. We are very happy with their service, and highly recommend Southern Air. 4 July 2022 Demare Purifoy was our technician, great gentleman and extremely knowledgeable. Checked a problem we were having on the 4th. I could not ask for better service from any company I have ever delt with. Demare was a prime example of a great tech! Once again I highly recommend Southern Air! 5 April 2024 We have had Jason Klinger for our technician for the last couple of services. He is extremely good, very thorough and is the consummate professional. I totally trust his opinion and am extremely satisfied with his work. We highly recommend Southern Air. 17 April 2025 Jason Klinger was our technician. Once again he does go above and beyond. Our AC stopped working, it is an old system. Once again it was Jason to the rescue. We again highly recommend Jason and Southern Air! 10 May 2025 Matthew and Albert were the installers for our new heat pump unit. They were both hard working and totally professional. They did a great job removing the old system and installing our new system. Once again great job Southern Air. 13 May 2025 Jason Klinger was our technician. He came by and adjusted our new system. Our house is a little particular and the new system needed a little tweek. All is doing well and we couldn't be happier. Thanks again Jason and Southern Air! Of course we highly recommend them. 13 July 2026 Jason Klinger was our technician. Our system crashed on the 10th . It was diagnosed as a circuit board shorted. The part was ordered and shipped and installed on the 13th. Very professional very quick. Southern Air and Jason came through again. Of course I highly recommend Southern Air and Jason!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that Jason went above and beyond to help with your AC. We’re lucky to have him on our team, and we truly appreciate your continued trust in Southern Air. If you ever need anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Jill Williams 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.

Another “ feels like” 108° day and my ac wasn’t keeping up. I called Southern Air and as usual they had a tech out to me within two hours. Trent the tech arrived, he was pleasant, informative, and very thorough. He didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need. He just listened to my complaints and addressed our needs. I would recommend Southern Air to anyone in need of an honest responsive AIRCONDITIONING service company.

Jamar was polite and efficient. He explained what was happening with my AC and provided a temporary fix for the night. Said he'll be back tomorrow to do a permanent fix. Excellent service! Jamar is very polite and efficient. Fixed my AC in less time than anticipated. You can send him back all the time. Great role model for other employees and young men his age. Albert explained everything he did for my HVAC maintenance. He was very competent and completed the maintenance required. Overall I'm very impressed with the Southern Air technicians. They have been prompt, efficient and polite. Glad that there are still companies offering great customer service.

The installation was excellent—no mess, completely professional, and the crew worked clean and efficiently. Truly a top notch job from start to finish. Service was fast, too: I called around noon on day one, and someone was out within a couple of hours. The estimator came the next day, and by the following day the new unit was installed. It’s been running like a dream. As I said, the installation was outstanding, and I’m really enjoying the new A/C unit. Thank you again for the exceptional work. This is the second A/C unit I’ve purchased from Southern Air—the first one lasted 19 years. Their sales, installation, and service are consistently top notch, exactly what you need in this Florida heat.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Gary, for your feedback and for choosing Southern Air again. We’re glad you appreciated our professionalism and fast response, and that the installation process stayed clean and efficient with your new system running smoothly. Please call us anytime to schedule seasonal tune-ups or set up ongoing service to keep everything performing its best.
