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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One of our goals as a company is to provide HVAC repair services at fair and competitive prices. In addition, we want you to feel confident about investing in high-quality heating and cooling systems without having to worry a lot about the costs.

Your HVAC system works hard all year long. If you have gone years without much maintenance or AC repair, you probably bought a great HVAC unit.

Beachwalker Park on Kiawah Island was once again ranked the best beach in the Carolinas in the latest annual list from geoscientist Stephen “Dr. Beach” Leatherman.
“This is a nature-lovers coast so visitors can bring their canoes and kayaks to paddle through the tidal inlets,” according to the 2025 list. “It is also fun to walk or bicycle down the fine-grained sand beach to Captain Sam’s Inlet to see thousands of birds.”
Leatherman, the director of the Florida International University Laboratory for Coastal Research has ranked the 10 best beaches in the United States every year since 1991. He assigns beaches numerical scores one through five on more than 50 criteria. Factors include natural criteria, like sand softness, water temperature and rip currents, as well as social criteria like access, amenities and lifeguards.
“The water is not clear, but it is clean and provides fantastic seafood,” Leatherman wrote of Beachwalker Park.
The Kiawah Island beach came in at number six this year, dropping a spot from the 2024 list. Beachwalker Park was only beach in North or South Carolina to make this year or last year’s lists, but Ocracoke Lifeguard Beach in North Carolina won first place in 2022.
This year New York took the top spot, with two entries on the list. Hawaii had the most beaches ranked in 2025, with four in the top 10 list.

The saying "Golf is a good walk spoiled" is often attributed to American writer Mark Twain, but it is actually anonymous.
Origins of the quote can be traced back to 1913, according to USA TODAY.
Regardless of who coined the term, golfers and non-golfers alike have resonated with its meaning, which sums up the sport perfectly: although being in the great outdoors is meant to be relaxing and enjoyable, trying to score that hole-in-one can make for quite a challenging experience.
But when you do win the game, playing it proves to be all the more rewarding, and so are the views that South Carolina's coastal courses have to offer.
Golf Digest just dropped its roundup of America's 100 greatest courses, and two of them are in the Palmetto State. Here's where they are and where they ranked.
Golf Digest didn't hold back when describing Kiawah Island's Ocean Course.
"This manufactured linksland-meets-lagoon might well be Pete Dye's most diabolical creation." the magazine said. "Every hole is edged by sawgrass, every green has tricky slopes, every bunker merges into bordering sand dunes."
Even so, the course's numerous challenges are what keep golfers returning for more, with many holes playing along the great Atlantic. One fun fact the publication mentions about the course is how it was designed spur of the moment for the 1991 Ryder Cup when the PGA of America moved the event from California to "the more attractive Eastern time zone television slot." Another fact to know is that Phil Mickerson rose victorious at the course during the 2021 PGA Championship, and so did Rory Mcllroy in 2012.
In Golf Digest's best of the state ranking, the Ocean Course was crowned first place.
Much can be said about Congaree Golf Club, designed strategically by Tom Fazio in 2017. And the magic behind this golf course is all in the sand, which makes it "easy to scoop and slope long ridgelines, creating significant movement across an otherwise level property ? and dozens of stately live oaks."
The course also comes with its own unique set of challenges, like navigating the Melbourne-style bunkers that pose hi-lo recovery situations by dodging shots that roll too far away. Other notes of worth are the course's location just 30 minutes from Beaufort and the Congaree-hosted 2022 CJ Cup.
In Golf Digest's best of the state ranking, Congaree Golf Club ranked No. 2.

JOHNS ISLAND, S.C. (WCBD) – Kiawah Island developers are proposing a plan to expand a new community on Johns Island.
Orange Hill Tract is about 933 acres of land between Bohicket Road and River Road. Charleston County previously approved development plans there in 2004, but since, it has been sold to South Street Partners. They are requesting approval from the County to build a new residential community and 18-hole golf course, part of the Kiawah Island Club. The group and county are also working on a development agreement, which officials said makes this deal more attractive.
“Our community development was able to secure a significant amount of funding for affordable workforce housing for Johns Island, nearly a million dollars. I think there was another $500,000 for Sea Island Habitat for Humanity. Additionally, St. John’s Fire Department is getting half the cost of a fire engine from the developer and our Charleston County EMS is basically getting half the cost of an ambulance covered,” Joe Boykin, county councilmember for District 8, said.

Also, Developers tell News 2, around 60% of their employees live on Johns Island and Wadmalaw Island. They said this gives their employees another opportunity to make their commute closer to home and be present in the community with their contributions.
The revised plan coming from the South Street Partners includes a greater focus on preservation, by keeping over 80% of live oaks on the property, improving stormwater management, and reducing the numbers of homes originally proposed.
“That was done as a result of site analysis that suggested lower density and more modest home sites rather than big home sites and big homes. More modest home sites appropriate for the setting. More aligned with the character of Johns Island in terms of the nature of homes there,” said Mark Permar, Kiawah Island master planner and architect.
Additionally, by reducing the amount of homes, there will also be less impacts from previously planned roads on the property. The group has also decided to put the community’s entrance on the less congested roadway.

“The access point was instead of Bohicket Road, we felt the more after we did an assessment we felt the more appropriate access point would be off of River Road,” Permar said. “Part of that was a reaction to the ever increasing traffic count on Bohicket Road that we’re all familiar with.”
The Kiawah Partners own and manage the Beach Club and Cassique Club, and Permar said they continue to be a community involved group. When asked about possible resident concerns, Boykin added that this is a better option than allowing for an outside developer to come in and sell.
“The developer’s been pretty sensitive to our concerns as Johns Islanders and wanting to keep our sense of place. So, again the concessions they made in reduction to how many units and the rearrangement of how they’re putting in this development I think were sensitive to our concerns,” said Boykin.
County council will host the public hearing on June 10 at county headquarters.
