Our Comprehensive Air Conditioning Services
We offer a full spectrum of AC services to meet every need. Whether you're dealing with an urgent breakdown or planning for the future, we have the expertise to deliver effective and lasting solutions.
Expert AC Repair
When your air conditioner fails, you need a fast and reliable solution. Our technicians are trained to diagnose and repair all makes and models of AC systems. We arrive with fully stocked vehicles, ready to tackle the most common issues on the spot.
Signs you need professional AC repair include:
- Warm Air: The system is running, but the air coming from your vents isn't cold.
- Strange Noises: Grinding, squealing, or clanking sounds indicate mechanical problems.
- Frequent Cycling: Your AC turns on and off more frequently than usual.
- High Humidity: The system isn't effectively removing moisture from the air, leaving your home feeling sticky.
- Water Leaks: Puddles of water around your indoor unit often point to a clogged condensate drain line—a common issue in our humid climate.
- Unpleasant Odors: Musty smells can signal mold growth, while burning odors suggest electrical problems.
We understand that AC emergencies don't wait for business hours. That’s why we offer prompt and responsive service to restore your comfort as quickly as possible.
Proactive AC Maintenance & Tune-Ups
The best way to avoid costly breakdowns is through regular, professional maintenance. Charleston's climate, with its high humidity and salt-laced air, is particularly harsh on HVAC equipment. An annual AC tune-up is a critical investment in your system’s health, efficiency, and longevity.
Our detailed maintenance service includes:
- Thorough System Cleaning: We clean condenser and evaporator coils to improve heat transfer and efficiency.
- Condensate Drain Line Flush: We clear the drain line to prevent clogs, water damage, and mold growth.
- Refrigerant Level Check: We ensure your system has the correct refrigerant charge for optimal cooling.
- Electrical Component Inspection: We tighten connections and check capacitors, relays, and contactors for wear.
- Air Filter Replacement: We inspect and replace your air filter to ensure proper airflow and indoor air quality.
- Full System Calibration: We test thermostat accuracy and overall system performance to ensure it meets manufacturer specifications.
Regular maintenance not only prevents unexpected failures but also lowers your monthly energy bills and extends the life of your equipment.
Professional AC Installation & Replacement
An air conditioner is a significant investment, and eventually, every unit reaches the end of its lifespan. If your system is over 10-12 years old, requires frequent repairs, or is struggling to keep up with your cooling needs, it may be time for a replacement.
We help you navigate the decision-making process. A common industry guideline is the "$5,000 Rule": multiply the cost of the repair by the age of your AC unit. If the total exceeds $5,000, a replacement is often the more financially sound choice.
Our installation process is focused on quality and precision. We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your home to ensure your new system is perfectly sized for your specific needs. An oversized or undersized unit will struggle to perform efficiently, leading to higher costs and reduced comfort. We install high-efficiency systems from leading brands designed to combat Charleston's heat and humidity, providing you with superior comfort and long-term energy savings.
Understanding AC Service Costs in Charleston
We believe in transparency and providing homeowners with the information they need to make confident decisions. The cost of an AC service can vary based on several factors, including the type of service required, the age and condition of your system, and whether specific parts are needed for a repair.
- Service Calls & Repairs: A diagnostic fee covers the technician's time to identify the problem. Afterward, you will receive an upfront, detailed estimate for the required repair before any work begins.
- Maintenance: Tune-ups are typically a flat-rate service designed to provide comprehensive care and prevent future issues.
- Installations: The cost of a new system depends on the unit's size, efficiency rating (SEER), and the complexity of the installation. We provide detailed, no-obligation estimates for all new system installations.
Our goal is to provide exceptional value, combining high-quality workmanship and reliable parts with fair, upfront pricing.
