HVAC Services in Panama City, FL

A Licensed HVAC Contractor Serving Bay County and the Florida Panhandle

When your AC quits in July or your heat won’t kick on in January, you don’t want a call center. You want the person who actually does the work. Panside Heating and Air handles residential and light commercial HVAC across Panama City, Panama City Beach, 30A, and the wider Panhandle, from a quick repair to a full system install. You get a straight answer and honest work from a licensed contractor who treats your home like his own. Florida license CAC1822416 on every job.

Your Trusted Panhandle HVAC Team

Panside Heating and Air is a local company built on doing the job right. Owner Lee Quick brings about 25 years across the trades and 8 years in HVAC, and he’s hands-on for most calls. When you call Panside, you talk to the technician, not a call center. We come to diagnose the real problem, explain what we find, and tell you your honest options, with no pressure and no upsell.

We serve homeowners and businesses throughout the area, handling residential HVAC and light commercial systems up to roughly 15 to 20 tons. Whether it’s the AC in your family home, the units keeping a 30A rental comfortable between guests, or the system in your storefront, we bring the same standard to every job. With 2,250+ successful repairs and installs behind us, we know most Panhandle homes are different, with older platforms, tight spaces, and ductwork that needs more than a simple swap-out. We work on all brands, all makes, and all models.

Owner-operated by Lee Quick, licensed, bonded, and insured under Florida license CAC1822416. Born and raised in the Panhandle, Lee started Panside after fixing the hurricane damage to his own home, and he treats every job like it’s his own house.

Our Services

We cover the full range of home and light commercial comfort work, grouped into a few main categories. Here’s how it breaks down.

When your AC is blowing warm air or your energy bills are climbing, we check the full system before we recommend anything. AC repair covers the everyday breakdowns, and when a system is past saving, AC installation walks you through replacement. Since January 2023, all new central AC installed in Florida must meet raised SEER2 efficiency minimums, and we explain what that means for your home. We also handle heat pump repair, mini-split installation for rooms and additions that need their own comfort, fast emergency AC repair when the cooling quits, and a seasonal AC tune-up to keep the system running before summer hits.

Panhandle winters are short, but the cold snaps are real, and a system that sat unused all summer doesn’t always wake up when you need it. Furnace repair gets the heat working again, and when a unit is worn out or unsafe, furnace installation sets you up with a reliable replacement. We handle heat pump heating too.

On the Gulf Coast, humidity is the quiet problem behind musty smells, sticky rooms, and systems that run too hard. Air purification cleans up what you’re breathing, a whole-house dehumidifier pulls the moisture down to a comfortable level, smart thermostat installation gives you real control over the system, and HVAC zoning evens out the temperature from room to room.

Bad ducts waste the cooling you already pay for. Duct installation replaces or adds the runs your home needs, and air duct cleaning clears out the dust and buildup that hurts airflow and air quality. This is trade work Lee has done for years, including the harder jobs others pass on.

Commercial HVAC keeps your storefront or facility comfortable, while property management HVAC gives managers one reliable number to call across a portfolio. For rentals along 30A and the beach, vacation rental HVAC is built around your turnover schedule: timing matters, and we work around tight checkout and check-in windows. We also take on new construction work.

Not Sure What You Need?

Not every problem comes with a label. Here’s a quick way to point yourself in the right direction, and if you’re still not sure, just call and describe what’s happening.

No cold air or the system won't turn on

Warm air from the vents, no air at all, or a system that won't kick on usually points to an AC problem that needs a proper diagnosis first. Start with AC repair.

Old system, frequent breakdowns, climbing bills

A system that's 12+ years old, breaks down often, or drives your bills up every season may cost more to keep alive than to replace. Look at the AC installation.

No heat or strange smells when the heat runs

Cold air when the heat should be on, or a burning or musty smell at startup, means the heating side needs a look before the next cold snap. Start with Furnace repair.

Sticky, humid, or musty rooms even with the AC on

If rooms feel damp and heavy even while the AC runs, the real problem is moisture, not temperature. Look at a whole-house dehumidifier.

Uneven temperatures room to room

One room freezing while another stays warm usually means the system can't balance airflow across the home. Look at HVAC zoning.

You manage rentals and need reliable turnaround

If you run rentals on 30A or the beach and need fast, dependable service between guests, we build the work around your windows. Start with property management HVAC.
