Southland Air Conditioning & Refrig

Southland Air Conditioning & Refrig handles HVAC work for homeowners in Galveston, TX. The company has operated since 1983 as a factory authorized dealer focused on air conditioning and refrigeration installs plus repairs. Their crew stays factory trained and shows up in uniform to treat every job like it is their own home or business. Most replacement work gets finished the same day and they keep 24 hour emergency service ready when units break down in the heat or during cooler spells. This setup gives local customers a reliable outfit that knows the demands of keeping systems running through coastal weather swings without unnecessary delays.

Technicians handle full AC installations, heating setups, tune ups, ductwork changes and indoor air quality fixes. Taylor showed up for maintenance calls and took time to go through every issue while explaining what needed attention so homeowners understood the fixes. Jeff and Selvin brought a new 5 ton two speed system plus fresh ductwork into one house, arrived on schedule each day, laid drop cloths and swept up before leaving so the place stayed usable. Braiden reached a stubborn problem on another call, laid out what caused it and gave clear steps to watch for next time so the owner felt ready to catch issues early.

Homeowners keep coming back because the work finishes fast, the repairs hold up and the techs speak plainly about costs and options. Reviews point to strong results on both routine maintenance and bigger change outs with crews that respect the house and finish clean. The few complaints stand out against the larger pattern of solid outcomes on price and follow through. DIRT Score 4.88 from 196 reviews on Finds.

“Excellent experience with Taylor at Southern AC. He was very thorough and explained the issues in a very professional manner. This is the second time we have had technicians from Southern AC do maintenance work for us and both times we have been very satisfied. Looking forward to continuing service with them.”

“Southland installed a complete new HVAC 5 ton 2 speed system, including new ductwork, at our home last week. Jeff and Selvin arrived on time each day, put down drop cloths on work areas, cleaned up every day, and made us feel that we were getting a professional installation. They were well prepared for the job and knew exactly what had to be done. We were very pleased eith all aspects of the work done. John/Betty”

“Technician (Braiden) was professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. He solved the problem and we spoke about what to look for if and when it happens again. I will always request Braiden’s services.”

“A bunch of con artists Never allowed at my house ever again Where do I begin? Three cancellations Really don’t care about that though That was God telling me to not have this company come to our house And I should’ve listened to God Brandon with southland air Was a bit raw Like I said, where do I begin with his comments? Telling Us, he could not put in any Freon unless we had our units both up on cinderblocks when they are on a concrete slab and we do not flood in this area like I said they are very nice concrete slabs! we have houses being built in our neighborhood and they are all on concrete slabs not cinderblocks! Basically wanting them to sag out so I would have to buy another through them more wear and tear on my units! Complete idiocy Then goes to tell us that he cannot add any Freon unless he charges us $11,000 to add his product preaching about zero financing but then tells me cash price without using Home Depot would be Eight grand ! Then goes to tell me that you’re lucky you did not have anything wrong with your units. Otherwise, I would have to shut it down much like I did to the old lady day before Christmas. I had to shut her unit off in the middle of the cold And freezing weather! So initially, I thought they were just going to look at our units but come to find out all they’re doing is trying to make profit by shutting peoples central air and heat off! This is why I was canceled three times because nobody had heat because they are the ones turning off everyone units! He said he has every right in every authority to do so! Get this garbage company out of Louisiana stop screwing over people and especially stop screwing over old people. God will catch up to you later You will feel his wrath”

“I do not recommend!! The business sold to Southern Air without notifying any customers. To continue with the maintenance plan it is more expensive & includes plumbing & electrical inspection which I do not want . I have my long time electrician & plumber.”
