HVAC Repair Summerville SC | Call Platt's Heating and Air Conditioning

High humidity is a common challenge in our area. Your AC system is designed to remove heat *and* moisture from the air. If it's running but not effectively dehumidifying, it could be due to an oversized unit cycling too quickly, a refrigerant issue, or a clogged drain line. Our technicians can diagnose the specific cause and ensure your system is properly balanced to handle Summerville's muggy climate.

Uneven cooling often stems from a combination of factors common in local homes, like insufficient insulation, leaky ductwork in the attic, or a single system struggling with a multi-level layout. We perform a thorough evaluation, which may include a duct assessment and load calculation, to recommend solutions. This could involve duct sealing, adding zoning controls, or advising on a properly sized system replacement for balanced comfort.

Given our high humidity and long cooling season, we recommend professional maintenance twice a year—ideally in the spring before peak AC use and in the fall before heating season. This proactive service is crucial. It ensures components like the condensate drain are clear (preventing humidity-related issues), checks refrigerant levels for efficiency, and cleans coils so your system doesn't have to work harder than necessary, combating both inefficiency and uneven temperatures.
