Air Conditioning in Charleston: what's different
Air Conditioning work in Charleston follows the local climate. Mixed climates get real summers and real winters, so the AC has a full season of work and then sits idle. Spring start-up problems such as weak capacitors, low charge and clogged drains are common.
A common Charleston pattern: damp basements. River-valley humidity and older foundations keep basements damp, which rusts furnace cabinets, corrodes flue pipes and feeds musty air into return ducts. Another: retrofitted ductwork. Ducts added to older homes are often undersized or snake through tight chases, leaving upstairs rooms hot in summer and cold in winter.
The air conditioning services Charleston homeowners ask for most are AC Repair, AC Replacement & Installation. Warm air, no cooling, short cycling, noises and breaker trips.
The City of Charleston issues mechanical permits inside city limits; Kanawha County handles unincorporated areas. Furnace work books up after the first October cold snap, so schedule heating checks in September.

FAQ
Air Conditioning questions in Charleston
Who handles air conditioning service in Charleston, WV?+
Call with your ZIP code. We connect you with a licensed HVAC contractor in our network that serves Charleston, including East End, South Hills, Kanawha City, and they give you a written price before work starts.
Why is my Charleston basement furnace rusting?+
Valley humidity and damp foundations corrode cabinets and flue pipes. A dehumidifier, sealed duct joints and annual inspection of the venting help.
How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?+
Age, refrigerant type and the failed part decide it. A newer system with a bad capacitor or fan motor is a repair. An older R-22 system with a failed compressor or leaking coil is usually a replacement.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?+
Common causes are a dirty filter or coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed outdoor fan or capacitor, or a frozen indoor coil. Turn the system off if you see ice and call for a diagnosis.
