The Camden29020 calls we answer most often
If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Pilot light or hot surface igniter failing repeatedly

Skyrocketing utility bills with no change in usage
Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode
Loud banging on start-up (compressor slugging)
Heating and air conditioning service built around Camden
Serving Camden and the wider Kershaw County area, our crews carry the common failure parts on the truck — capacitors, contactors, igniters, flame sensors, motors and filters — so the first visit is usually the last one.
Around Camden, condensate drainage is a recurring fault. Blocked drains and failed float switches cause more water damage claims here than actual refrigerant failures do.
Because South Carolina runs heat pumps and split-system air conditioning, the transition between seasons is when we see the most emergency calls — equipment that sat unused for months.

Camden29020 HVAC questions, answered
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Camden we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during April through October. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Camden we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Camden see most often — but a firm price needs eyes on the equipment. Any company that quotes a final number without seeing the unit is usually quoting low to get through the door.
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in Camden, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
What does a new system cost in Camden?
A complete residential replacement in the 29020 area generally lands between $6,000 and $13,000 installed, depending on capacity, efficiency rating and how much ductwork has to be modified. We always perform a Manual J load calculation first, because an oversized unit costs more to buy and runs worse than a correctly sized one.
