Air Conditioning Repair in Folly Beach, SC
Summers in the Lowcountry are hot, humid, and sticky. After a long day at the beach or downtown with your friends, nothing feels better than kicking back on the sofa while your air conditioning cools you off. On the other hand, nothing feels worse than walking into your home and feeling warm, stale air hit your face. Those who know, know - having your AC go out during a South Carolina summer is no joke. With time, a relatively minor inconvenience can turn into a real health problem.
In situations like these, something has probably gone wrong with your HVAC system. If your AC has stopped working in the middle of summer, it's time to call Action Heating & Air Conditioning right away. Our team of certified HVAC professionals has years of experience repairing and servicing AC equipment. It doesn't matter how old your unit is or what brand you bought - we have the skills to get your home comfort system up and running in no time.
Here are just a few of the AC issues that our talented team can help solve for you:
Air Conditioning Drainage Block
Over time, condensation builds up in your AC equipment because of its cooling process. This accumulated byproduct must be drained regularly, or the increased amounts of moisture can damage your air conditioner's components.
Air Conditioning Refrigerant Leak
Refrigerant is the substance responsible for keeping your home nice and cool in the summer. When refrigerant levels drop due to a leak, it will affect your AC equipment's ability to cool your home. If your HVAC unit isn't blowing cold air, this could be a reason why.
Heater Keeps Running
This is a common AC issue in South Carolina and the U.S. in general. Sometimes this problem is fixed by switching your thermostat to "auto." If that doesn't work, you may have a broken thermostat or a wiring issue that needs to be addressed quickly.
Burning Odors
It's normal for your heater to produce a slight burning smell if it hasn't been used in a while. However, if you are experiencing a persistent burning smell during the summer months when your air conditioning is on, it could be a serious problem. Turn off your HVAC system immediately and call our office as soon as possible so that we may send out a technician to diagnose your problem.
Broken Air Conditioning Compressor Fan
This fan plays an important role in your AC unit's heat transfer process. When your air conditioning fan breaks, your AC equipment won't be able to cool your home off in the summer when it's needed the most.

Common Signs That You Need a New AC Install in Folly Beach, SC
Trying to figure out whether your air conditioner needs to be repaired or replaced can be a tricky decision to make. Most people have a hard time letting things go, and that includes AC units. It can be hard to know when to let go of the old and welcome in the new. To help save you time and make your decision a little easier, keep the following signs in mind. If you find yourself saying, "that sounds like my AC unit," it might be time for a new air conditioning installation.
Strange Noises
Almost all air conditioners make a bit of low-level noise as they warm up and turn off. However, if you hear loud, unusual noises, it might be a sign that your air conditioner's time is coming to an end. Buzzing and rattling noises are often indicators of a loose part. Grinding and whistling noises may mean something more serious is happening. Because these issues won't dissipate over time, it's crucial to have your air conditioner examined if you hear loud, strange noises.
Frequent Repairs
Folly Beach AC repair is essential for keeping your air conditioner working efficiently. Sometimes, however, it makes more sense from a cost perspective to install a replacement system. This is especially true if your repairs are racking up. Some AC experts suggest using the "$5,000 rule" if you're considering a new AC install. Simply multiply the age of your air conditioner by the costs you have been paying to repair your unit. If that amount is over $5,000, it may make more financial sense to install a new air conditioner rather than pay for expensive repairs throughout the year.
Higher Energy Bills
If you notice that your energy bill has significantly increased in price, it could be a sign that your HVAC unit is struggling to cool your home effectively. Try to be mindful of your air conditioner's cooling cycles. If you notice frequent cycles, even in the summer, it could be the reason for your increased energy bill. In these cases, it's best to have an expert test your system to see if a repair or replacement option is best for your family.
Age of Air Conditioning Unit
This sign is a no-brainer and one of the easiest ways to tell if you need to install a new AC system. On average, your HVAC unit will have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years. If your unit is more than ten years old and doesn't have the "pizzaz" that it once had, it might be time to think about installing a new air conditioning unit.
R-22 Refrigerant
Old air conditioners usually require a type of refrigerant called R-22. This substance is very harmful to the environment and has been all but outlawed on newer HVAC systems. If your AC unit is old enough to require R-22, you should give serious thought to replacing your system with a newer, environmentally friendly solution.
Protecting Your Investment
Your air conditioning system works very hard every day, all year long to keep your home comfy and cool. Machines that work hard year-round are going to require maintenance and ongoing services to stay operational.
As a family-owned and operated HVAC company in Folly Beach, SC, we know better than anyone how expensive it can be to maintain an AC unit. We know that money doesn't grow on trees. We also understand that finding last-minute resources to fix an air conditioning system can be challenging. That is why we offer extended warranties for your new or existing AC equipment. With an extended warranty from Action Heating & Air Conditioning, you benefit from repairs, replacement, and additional services covered under warranty. That way, you can enjoy your HVAC products as long as possible.
If you're having second thoughts about purchasing an extended warranty, consider these points:
- Generally speaking, HVAC equipment lasts anywhere from 10 to 15 years. However, warranties provided by the factory will often expire before the service life of your cooling unit is over. With an extended warranty, your indoor comfort system is covered even if the factory warranty expires.
- Having an extended warranty on your AC system gives you the chance to project and plan for any HVAC costs. This helps you balance your budget and anticipate expenses so you aren't caught off guard. Having a warranty will also help protect your budget against increases in labor and parts costs due to inflation.
- If you're thinking of selling your home, having an extended warranty may help raise your home's value. You may also be able to transfer your extended warranty to your new home if you choose to do so.

Folly Beach city council discusses amendments to short term rental ordinance

FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCBD) – Folly Beach city council is set to discuss amendments to its short term rental ordinance Tuesday night.
After a short-term rental cap was put in place last year, council members wanted to clarify language within the ordinance. Officials said although there won’t be any significant changes, one that stands out could be the discussion of the consequences by turning in business licenses late.
“As it stands now – failure to turn in a timely rental registration result in ramification of a license,” DJ Rich, council member of Folly Beach, said. “There is a reason it’s come up, that’s a little too harsh. I also believe its a little too harsh, I think a strike is more applicable. If you’re late turning in your business license for any other business that you have, you know you don’t lose your business. You pay a penalty, which is adequate here but we will see how the discussion goes tonight.”
Other items on the agenda included eligibility for inheritance-based Investor Short Term Rental (ISTR) licenses, the allowance of licensed homes to be relocated without losing eligibility for a rental license, and amending information required to apply for rental registration.
Although, some residents said since the cap was put in place, the amount of days they are able to rent in a year are slim.
“Now I’m limited to 72 days and I have no choice but to get an ISTR,” Ellen Stoler, resident of Folly Beach, said. “ISTR, you know, is limited now. I am on the waiting list but I’m like seventieth on the waiting list because it goes by whose lived here the longest.”
The regulations have hurt the business of residents that rent their homes while living in them full-time.
“I don’t like being limited to 72 days, I live here, I’m with the people in my house – I never had a complaint,” Stoler said. “I enjoy it a lot, it’s great for an empty-nester, I’ve met people from all over the world.”
Stoler said people she knows are experiencing the same difficulties of trying to get an ISTR. She explained she may now have to get a long-term rental license, which does not pay off in the same way.
“Well, I’ve been short-term renting for years,” Stoler said. “I didn’t like being limited to 72 and I didn’t like not being able to switch to an ISTR. I think they should’ve had a grandfathered period where people could’ve switched and then if they wanted to change all the rules – then do it. There were a lot of people who made lifelong plans that included switching to an ISTR.”

FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCIV) — While Hurricane Helene caused widespread devastation in Western North Carolina, not all Christmas tree growers in that area are experiencing the same level of hardship.
While some growers are dealing with extensive damage, others are not.
“I reached out to my distributor early on after the storm and they assured me that the trees were fine," said Andy McClellan, a Christmas tree seller on Folly Beach. "Unfortunately, most of the water and stuff went down the mountain."
Last week, McClellan and his wife Tara traveled to North Carolina to pick up 140 fresh Fraser Fir trees for their traditional holiday sale at the beach town.

It's a tradition that started 15 years ago.
“Last year we had our 1st second generation- a young guy that came with his family, and last year he came with his wife and brand-new son,” McClellan said.
McClellan would have been disappointed but understanding if his family wouldn't have been able to do this year's Mama Jean's Christmas Trees sale.
But, good fortune made it possible despite some heartbreak.
“They were caught up in the storm and those folks were needing some help,” he said.

Not only did the McClellan family head north looking to pick up the trees – they brought something special with them.
“We were able to go up there and share some gifts from the heart that our community and surrounding communities collected for them, to show our love and support for them in their time of need," McClellan said. "And we were able to get Christmas Trees for our community to enjoy the beautiful fresh Fraser Firs that come out of Western North Carolina.”
McClellan hopes any little bit helps to regrow the area.
“Personally, for me, yes it does because those folks are hurting right now and anything to boost their economy is definitely a plus,” he said.
