Air Conditioning in South Carolina: what's different
Air Conditioning across South Carolina depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 3). In hot-humid climates the air conditioner removes moisture as well as heat, so refrigerant charge, airflow and a clear condensate drain matter as much as raw capacity. Oversized systems short-cycle and leave rooms clammy.
In South Carolina specifically: coastal corrosion. Salt air shortens outdoor unit life near the coast. Humidity: High dew points cause mold and comfort complaints when systems are oversized.
South Carolina licenses mechanical and HVAC contractors through the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation's contractor boards. Common systems in South Carolina: Heat pumps, Gas furnace + central AC, Crawl space ductwork, Dehumidifiers.
Dominion Energy South Carolina, Duke Energy, Santee Cooper and cooperatives supply electricity. Dominion Energy, Piedmont Natural Gas and others supply gas.
