The Florence29505 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.
One or two rooms that never reach the set temperature
Dead or bulging run capacitor on the condenser
Water pooling around the indoor unit or ceiling stains
Short cycling — on and off every few minutes
Refrigerant leak at a flare or coil connection
Yellow or orange burner flame instead of steady blue
Heating and air conditioning service built around Florence
Most of the work we do in Florence starts the same way: the system is running but the house is not comfortable. Before we replace anything, we measure airflow, static pressure and temperatures so you are paying for the actual fault.
A large share of the equipment we service in Florence was installed by a builder to a minimum spec. That usually means an undersized return, a cheap filter rack and a condenser sitting close to a wall.
We recommend two maintenance visits a year in South Carolina: one before April through October and one before December through February. It is the single highest-return thing a homeowner can do for equipment life.

Florence29505 HVAC questions, answered
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 29505?
A diagnostic visit in Florence 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.
Should I repair my system or replace it?
The usual rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a replacement and the equipment is over ten years old, replacement generally wins. We will run that comparison with you on site and show you the maths — and if the honest answer is a $180 capacitor rather than a $9,000 system, that is the answer you get.
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.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Florence most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
What does a new system cost in Florence?
A complete residential replacement in the 29505 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.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Florence 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.
