HVAC Repair Charleston SC | Call Five Star Charleston Heating and Air

Charleston's humid climate encourages algae and mold growth inside condensate drain lines, a frequent local issue. During our maintenance visits, we thoroughly clean and flush these lines to prevent clogs that can cause water damage. For persistent problems, we can recommend solutions like installing an overflow safety switch or treating the line with algae tablets to provide longer-lasting protection.

Our maintenance service is designed to keep your system running efficiently and catch small issues before they become big problems. We perform a comprehensive check, including cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, lubricating moving parts, and testing system controls. For Charleston homes, we pay special attention to the condensate drain and air duct connections to prevent leaks and clogs common in our climate.

When installing a new system, we look at your entire home's environment. Beyond just the HVAC unit, we assess your ductwork for leaks, check insulation, and evaluate indoor air quality needs. For many Charleston homes, this leads to recommendations like duct sealing to improve efficiency or adding a Lennox PureAir air filtration system to manage pollen and humidity. This approach ensures your new system performs optimally for both comfort and energy savings.
