Get In Touch
Our family‑owned company has grown into one of the most trusted HVAC companies in the North Florida region. We’re based in Tallahassee and serve nearby communities like Midtown, Lake Ella, Killearn Lakes, Betton Hills, Southwood, Golden Eagle and Crawfordville. Our technicians are NATE‑certified, background‑checked and trained to repair heat pumps, gas furnaces, mini‑split systems and ductless units. You’ll see our blue trucks around town – near Doak Campbell Stadium, in Midtown’s shops, and along Thomasville Road.
Tallahassee’s subtropical climate means mild winters and hot, humid summers, with average January lows around 40 °F and July highs near 100 °F. High humidity and frequent thunderstorms can strain HVAC equipment , causing issues like frozen coils, refrigerant leaks and electrical failures . That’s why local homeowners depend on our preventive maintenance, fast repairs and energy‑efficient installation services to stay comfortable year‑round.
Tallahassee’s humidity can cause clogged filters, frozen coils and poor indoor air quality. We offer dehumidifiers, HEPA filters and thorough duct cleaning to prevent mold and protect your family’s health.
Summer thunderstorms and occasional hurricanes can damage electrical components. We install surge protectors and perform safety checks to protect your HVAC system.
While winters are mild, short cold snaps can drop temperatures below freezing. Our same‑day heater repair ensures your home stays comfortable even when the temperature swings.
Historic neighborhoods like Betton Hills and Midtown often have aging ductwork that leaks air and reduces efficiency. We provide duct inspection, sealing and ductless mini‑split options for targeted heating.
With energy rates climbing, efficiency matters. We help homeowners choose high‑efficiency heat pumps and programmable thermostats to reduce bills and increase comfort.
Why It Matters Here: Tallahassee’s mix of humid summers, occasional freezes and older housing stock puts extra stress on heating systems. Choosing a local company that understands these challenges ensures faster response times, better diagnostics and long‑term peace of mind.

Tallahassee homeowners face unique obstacles due to climate, housing stock and regional weather patterns. Here’s how we address them:
Challenge: Humidity levels frequently exceed 80 %, leading to mold growth, musty smells and allergy flare‑ups.
Solution: We install whole‑home dehumidifiers, UV air purifiers and recommend HEPA filters to capture allergens. Regular maintenance includes clearing condensate lines and checking for mold in ductwork.
Challenge: Frequent thunderstorms and occasional hurricanes can cause power outages and surges.
Solution: We install surge protection on new systems and offer surge‑proof thermostats. Our technicians inspect electrical components for damage during annual tune‑ups.
Challenge: High humidity and airflow restrictions can freeze evaporator coils, while refrigerant leaks lead to poor heating.
Solution: We ensure proper airflow by cleaning filters and inspecting ducts. Our diagnostics include leak detection, repair and refrigerant recharge.
Challenge: Homes in Midtown, Betton Hills and Frenchtown often have ductwork leaks and inadequate insulation.
Solution: We offer duct sealing, insulation upgrades and mini‑split installations to target specific rooms. Proper sealing reduces energy waste and enhances comfort.
Challenge: Tallahassee can experience 40 °F mornings followed by 70 °F afternoons.
Solution: Our dual‑fuel systems automatically switch between gas and electric, optimizing comfort and efficiency. Programmable thermostats adjust settings to match daily temperature fluctuations.
Killearn Estates: Larger homes with long duct runs often suffer from airflow imbalances. We balance duct systems and recommend zone controls.
Southwood: Newer homes here may have builder‑grade HVAC units. We upgrade to high‑efficiency heat pumps and ensure proper sizing.
Betton Hills: Historic homes face insulation and duct leaks. We offer mini‑split options to preserve historic charm while improving comfort.
Midtown: Multi‑family units and mixed‑use buildings need precise load calculations. Our team handles complex installation in tight spaces.
Crawfordville & Wakulla: Rural homes often rely on heat pumps and need surge protection due to frequent storms.
The cost of heater repair or replacement depends on system type (furnace, heat pump, mini‑split), component issues, age of equipment and accessibility. Common repairs such as ignitors, thermostats or capacitors range from $150–$400. Major repairs like compressor replacement range from $1,000–$2,500.
Installing a high‑efficiency heat pump or gas furnace in a typical Tallahassee home costs $5,500–$9,500, including equipment, labor and permits. Ductless mini‑split installations start around $3,000 for a single zone.
Custom ductwork, zoning systems, advanced filtration, and difficult access (attic or crawlspace units) can add to the price.
Rebates, manufacturer promotions, existing ductwork in good condition and choosing appropriate capacity.
Most repairs are completed on the same day. Full system replacements typically take 1–2 days, including removal and installation. We handle all permits and inspections.
Free on‑site estimate, equipment sizing, permit handling, installation, testing, cleanup and haul‑away of old equipment. We provide manufacturer warranties (up to 10 years) and our own labor warranty.
Rural areas like Wakulla or Crawfordville may have slightly higher travel charges. Urban customers near FSU or Midtown benefit from quicker response times. North Florida experiences higher humidity and storm exposure, which can increase maintenance costs compared to inland areas.

Customer Problem: A family in Southwood faced rising energy bills and uneven heating. Their 16‑year‑old heat pump was inefficient and required frequent repairs.
Before: The heat pump struggled during cold snaps, and certain rooms remained cold despite high thermostat settings.
Steps Taken: Our comfort advisor conducted a load calculation and recommended a dual‑fuel system paired with a variable‑speed air handler. We removed the old unit, upgraded duct insulation and installed a programmable thermostat.
Materials & Products Used: 3‑ton Carrier dual‑fuel heat pump, variable‑speed air handler, Smart thermostat, R‑8 duct insulation.
Timeline: The entire process took two days, including permitting, installation and testing.
Outcome: The customer reported a 30 % reduction in energy bills and improved comfort across the home. Rooms that were previously cold now maintain consistent temperatures. “We’re thrilled with the new system—Tony Kelly’s team delivered as promised,” said the homeowner.
No Heat: Your system is blowing cold air or not turning on.
Burning Smell: Electrical smell or signs of smoke.
Unusual Noises: Grinding, banging or squealing.
Frequent Cycling: System turns on and off repeatedly.
Water Leaks: Puddles around the indoor unit indicate condensate issues.
Rising Energy Bills: Unexplained increases in power usage.
Uneven Heating: Cold spots in your home.
Old Equipment: Systems older than 15 years may need replacement.
Thermostat Problems: Inaccurate temperature readings or delays.
Strange Odors: Musty or gas odors from vents.
Ignoring these signs can lead to bigger repairs and void manufacturer warranties. Regular maintenance protects your investment and ensures a comfortable home.
Our technicians can diagnose and fix any type of heating system malfunction, including:
Faulty ignition switches or pilot lights that won’t stay lit can prevent your furnace from starting. We repair gas valves, pilot assemblies and electronic ignition systems.
Malfunctioning thermostats cause inconsistent temperatures or short cycling. We calibrate or replace thermostats and recommend programmable models for better control.
Dirty filters reduce airflow and can freeze coils. We replace filters, clean blower motors and check ductwork for buildup.
Low refrigerant levels from leaks cause poor heating and can lead to compressor failure. We locate leaks, recharge refrigerant and clear condensate drain lines to prevent water damage.
Belts, bearings and motors wear out over time. We carry OEM parts on our trucks for faster repairs.
Thunderstorms and power surges can damage capacitors, contractors and relays. We test circuits, install surge protectors and ensure safe operation.
Cracks can leak carbon monoxide. We inspect heat exchangers and recommend replacement if needed.
When repairs become too frequent or costly, replacing your heater may be more economical. We install:
High‑Efficiency Gas Furnaces
Electric & Hybrid Heat Pumps
Ductless Mini‑Splits for room‑by‑room control
Dual‑Fuel Systems that switch between gas and electric for optimal efficiency
Our installation service includes a free home load calculation, removal of your old system, installation of new ductwork (if needed), permit handling and haul‑away of equipment. We register manufacturer warranties and offer our own 10‑year labor warranty for added peace of mind.

Tony Kelly HVAC showed up within an hour when our furnace quit on the coldest night of the year. They fixed the ignitor, explained everything clearly and didn’t overcharge us. Highly recommend!
After two other companies couldn’t figure out why our heat pump was short cycling, Tony Kelly’s technician diagnosed a refrigerant leak and fixed it on the spot. Excellent service.
Thanks Tony Kelly for helping repair my heat pump! That was fast!
