AC Repair in Southwood

Southwood is a large master-planned community in southeast Tallahassee built out primarily in the 2000s and 2010s on land that used to be part of a timber operation. Homes here are newer construction, mostly two-story, with higher ceilings and open floor plans that can be tricky to cool evenly. It's one of the fastest-growing parts of the metro and is still adding new phases.

A broken AC in Tallahassee means indoor temperatures can climb past 90 degrees within a few hours. Summers here run June through September with humidity that makes 95 degrees feel closer to 105, and houses built in the 1970s and 1980s — which cover a big chunk of Killearn Estates and midtown — are running systems that are well past their expected lifespan. When an old unit finally gives out in July, the problem is not just comfort. It is a health issue for anyone elderly, very young, or dealing with a breathing condition.

We start with an actual diagnosis — not a guess and a parts swap. We check refrigerant levels, test the capacitor and contactor, inspect the coil for ice or dirt, and look at airflow before we tell you what the job is going to cost. That way you know exactly what is wrong before you approve anything.
