Southern Comfort Climate Control
Founded in 1995, Southern Comfort Climate Control has been a fully operating air conditioning business for over 24 years. We are licensed in the state of Florida as a air conditioning and heating contractor, with over 35 years of actual field experience in the business. Bringing the knowledge needed to help solve your cooling and heating needs, the owner Jim Larder, is actively out in the field overlooking and performing the work.

Commercial buildings from the size of Sam's Clubs, to new residential homes have been completed along with performing service, repairs, and replacement. Living and working the trade right here in the Fort Walton Beach, has allowed us to learn how to interact with our sometimes unique weather patterns.
Services
Southern Comfort Climate Control is your locally owned, operated, and licensed air conditioning and heating contractor. Repair, service, replacement and new installations in Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Niceville, Shalimar, Mary Esther plus surrounding areas in the Florida panhandle. With 24 years in business, over 35 years of the trade experience, customers are happy they choose us for all their air conditioning and heating needs.
Southern Comfort Climate Control keeps your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Servicing the areas of Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, Shalimar, Miramar Beach, Mary Esther and more. Please call to ask if we service your area. Our services are performed with a more personal touch than most companies can afford to take the time for.
Unfortunately, all of our air conditioners will eventually fail. It is one of those "facts of life". Just because your system suffers from a "bump", does not necessarily mean its time to replace it. Many times a repair is all that is needed and that is where we come in. Southern Comfort Climate Control is a company that still often suggests repairs instead of always just trying to sell you a new system.
Call us at Southern Comfort Climate Control so we can keep you comfortable in your home. In our area, heat pumps and gas furnaces are the primary means for heating your homes and businesses. We service and repair both. Our heating systems don't see as much use as our air conditioning side of the system, but they still have their occasional breakdowns.
Replacing a heating and air conditioning system is a major investment for your home. There are many decisions to make when it is time to replace your system such as: which SEER rating to choose, type and brand name, and which company to choose to install your system. We specialize in replacement systems to provide you with a comfortable home at reasonable costs.

I own a rental property in Fort Walton Beach and live in VA. My property manager quoted an exorbitant price to replace my aged system. I found Jim through a referral and was comforted to find his 5 star reviews. The system shut down the 1st of July and Jim was there to replace it on July 3rd. He came in $1500 under what I was being quoted by my property manager. I had damage incurred to the unit less than 3 months after it was installed. Jim came out immediately and covered the parts and labor under warranty. His service after the sale is impeccable.
I will demand my rental company coordinate

I've been using Southern Comfort for years now, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else. The owner is fair, honest, and has always responded quickly (which is a big deal when you live in Florida and your A/C goes out!). HIGHLY recommend.

Just had a new A/C system installed in my home by them. It's works great, much better than my old one. Picked them to do the work since the owner was there himself to make sure it was done correctly and not installed by a employee with little experience. Expect my power bills to finally go down.

I was told by my other AC company that my system was done and needed to be replaced after just last year they told me I still had like 3 years of life in it. I asked a trusted source which AC system was going to be best and he said Rheem. After searching Rheem, Southern Comfort came up and Jim became a new trusted resource for me. Jim came out to my home same day and worked for hours to diagnose what was going on. He said my system was ok and did not need replacing right now that it seemed the thermostat was causing the problem. He replaced the thermostat for a very reasonable price and weeks
