Claim This BusinessSouthern Air & Electric has earned a 4.9-star average across 137 customer reviews on the strength of three licensed trades under one roof. Operating out of Murfreesboro, the crew serves nearby Smyrna, La Vergne, Nolensville, and Nashville. The company holds full contractor licensing and carries bonded status, qualifying it for both residential and light commercial work across middle Tennessee. A+ accreditation with the Better Business Bureau reinforces the credentials.
Owner Scott has spent 37 years working the heating and cooling trade, personally handling system inspections so customers understand their options before spending a dollar. That experience-first approach shows in the Navigator Plan, a maintenance reminder program that prompts seasonal filter changes, duct cleaning, and equipment service , helping homeowners extend the life of furnaces, heat pumps, and central AC units rather than replacing them prematurely. Southern Air & Electric also installs UV light (Virucide) systems designed to reduce biological contaminants moving through ductwork, a step many contractors in the region do not offer.
Reviewers repeatedly credit Scott by name for fast, clear-headed work. Michelle Pinkard describes a same-day thermostat repair that took roughly 15 minutes to complete after the heat stopped flowing midweek. Debbie Williams credits Scott and his crew for coordinating a full electrical panel replacement when a faulty builder installation left her breakers arching for days. Melody T. notes Scott caught a leaking window during a home inspection that she had not noticed, preventing a larger structural issue. Together the reviews describe a contractor who explains problems in plain language and delivers repairs without padded proposals.
All 137 reviews carry 5 stars, with a 4.9 average placing Southern Air & Electric among the highest-rated multi-trade contractors in Rutherford County. Reviewers who name Scott specifically praise his diagnostic clarity and honesty about repair costs versus replacement. One negative theme appears in isolated reviews citing pricing, while recurring praise across positive reviews targets reliability, same-day response, and thorough explanations of equipment options.
