If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Loud banging on start-up (compressor slugging)

Heating and air conditioning service built around Myrtle Beach
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 Myrtle Beach, 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 December through February. A pre-season inspection catches cracked heat exchangers and failing igniters before the first real cold snap.

Myrtle Beach29579 HVAC questions, answered
How quickly can a technician get to Myrtle Beach?
For the 29579 service area our target response time is 90-120 minutes from the moment dispatch confirms your address. Real-world timing depends on the day — the first sustained heat or cold snap of the season is always our busiest period — but we hold technicians locally specifically so that window is achievable rather than aspirational.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
We do. A two-visit plan in South Carolina 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 Myrtle Beach 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 charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in South Carolina is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
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.
How often should I change my filter in 29579?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Myrtle Beach with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
