It could be either, and we can help you determine the best solution. Often, a simple repair like fixing a refrigerant leak or a faulty capacitor can restore cooling quickly. However, if your system is over 10-15 years old, frequently breaks down, or is severely inefficient, a replacement might be more cost-effective for long-term comfort and energy savings, especially during our hot SC summers. We provide a thorough evaluation and transparent recommendations.

Regular maintenance is key to preventing mold, which thrives in the damp, dark environment of dirty ducts. Our maintenance service includes cleaning or replacing air filters to improve airflow and reduce moisture, checking drain lines for clogs that cause water buildup, and inspecting the evaporator coil and ductwork for early signs of condensation or biological growth. Keeping your system running efficiently reduces excess humidity, protecting your indoor air quality and your family's health.

For our climate, prioritize energy efficiency (look for a high SEER rating for AC) and proper sizing. A system that's too large will short-cycle, failing to dehumidify properly, while one that's too small will struggle to cool your home. We perform a detailed load calculation to recommend the right size and type of system—like a heat pump, which is excellent for our mild winters—to ensure optimal comfort, humidity control, and lower utility bills year-round.
