The Standard We Hold on Every Call
We opened our doors in July 2022 and we are building our name one honest job at a time. Here is what you can count on when a Panside technician pulls into your driveway.
Lee is the greatest!! called him first thing last night about my a/c that had gone out in this horrible heat ( 95*) for him to call me and ask if he could come out first thing in the morning ( first stop at 530am – I was already up) he was on time and had everything fixed in 15 mins !!!! I won’t call anyone but Lee at Panside Heating and Air, llc . Thank YouShared post

I’ve been using Pansies Heating & Air for a few years now, and I can’t recommend them enough. Lee is always quick to respond and quick to come out when I need him. He’s friendly, honest, and truly goes above and beyond. A few years ago, when my mom was still alive, he noticed a dusty ledge that was too high for me to reach and cleaned it without me even asking. It’s little things like that that show the kind of person he is. He’s also cleaned my air ducts and replaced my vents, and everything was done right the first time. I don’t trust many people to work on my home, but I trust Lee 2,000%. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely cares about his customers, you won’t find anyone better.

Lee is the most competent and thorough HVAC tech we have used! We highly recommend the next time you need AC repair or upgrades to call Panside first!
- Bo Clark
I’ve had my AC recharged by two of the bigger companies in Bay County the last two springs. Both times they said they found no leaks. This spring I used Panside and they immediately found the leak and got me recharged. Honest trustworthy people who do a great job! Will definitely use them again and recommend them if you need heating or AC work
- Jimmie Sickles
Highly recommend Panside Heating and Air. Lee was professional on the phone and quick to get me scheduled. The team was efficient , quickly found my issue, and fixed it. Affordable prices, hard-working and reliable local business.
- Sarah Rhodes
I can’t recommend Lee Quick at Panside Heating & Air highly enough! He went above and beyond to get our air conditioning back up and running. He came out multiple times—including after hours—to properly diagnose the issue and make sure it was fixed the right way, not just with a quick patch. His dedication, responsiveness, and expertise were exceptional. It’s hard to find someone who genuinely cares about their customers the way Lee does. If you’re looking for honest, reliable HVAC service, he’s the one to call. Highly recommend!

Questions About Our HVAC Tips
Who writes the Panside blog?
These posts come straight from work. Owner Lee Quick is hands-on for most calls, and the advice here reflects what we actually see across thousands of jobs in Panama City, PCB, 30A, and nearby areas. It’s technician experience, not generic filler.
Can these tips replace a professional visit?
They can help you understand your system, spot problems early, and handle simple upkeep. But some things need a licensed technician to diagnose safely. When a post reaches that point, we’ll say so, and you can always call (850) 691-3181 for a straight answer.
What topics do you cover?
We focus on what matters in the Panhandle: Florida humidity, salt air near the coast, hurricane season prep, SEER2 efficiency rules, energy savings, and knowing when to repair versus replace. If there’s something you want covered, tell us.
How often do you post?
We add posts as we have something genuinely useful to share, rather than posting filler on a schedule. Check back for new tips, or call us anytime with a question you’d like answered in person.
I read a tip but still have a problem. What now?
That’s what we’re here for. If a post helped but the issue is still there, or you’d rather have it handled right, call Panside. You’ll talk to the technician, and we’ll tell you honestly what the system needs.
