The Charleston25387 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
No cool air, or air that is barely cooler than the room
Dead or bulging run capacitor on the condenser
Loud banging on start-up (compressor slugging)
Outdoor condenser humming but the fan not turning
Skyrocketing utility bills with no change in usage
Heating and air conditioning service built around Charleston
Whether the complaint is weak airflow upstairs, a furnace that will not stay lit, or an outdoor unit that hums but never starts, the process is the same — a proper diagnostic, a written price, then the repair.
Around Charleston, condensate drainage is a recurring fault. Blocked drains and failed float switches cause more water damage claims here than actual refrigerant failures do.
Heating season here is November through March. A pre-season inspection catches cracked heat exchangers and failing igniters before the first real cold snap.

Charleston25387 HVAC questions, answered
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 25387?
A diagnostic visit in Charleston typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in West Virginia, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
We do. A two-visit plan in West Virginia covers a spring cooling inspection and an autumn heating inspection, priority scheduling during peak weeks, discounted repairs and no diagnostic fee. Members rarely end up on the emergency list.
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 Charleston we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during June through August. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
What does a new system cost in Charleston?
A complete residential replacement in the 25387 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.
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 Charleston, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
