 Heating And Air Conditioning Services Daniel Island, SC

Air Conditioning Drainage Block

Over time, condensation builds up in your AC equipment because of its cooling process. This accumulated byproduct must be drained regularly, or the increased amounts of moisture can damage your air conditioner's components.

Air Conditioning Refrigerant Leak

Refrigerant is the substance responsible for keeping your home nice and cool in the summer. When refrigerant levels drop due to a leak, it will affect your AC equipment's ability to cool your home. If your HVAC unit isn't blowing cold air, this could be a reason why.

Heater Keeps Running

This is a common AC issue in South Carolina and the U.S. in general. Sometimes this problem is fixed by switching your thermostat to "auto." If that doesn't work, you may have a broken thermostat or a wiring issue that needs to be addressed quickly.

Burning Odors

It's normal for your heater to produce a slight burning smell if it hasn't been used in a while. However, if you are experiencing a persistent burning smell during the summer months when your air conditioning is on, it could be a serious problem. Turn off your HVAC system immediately and call our office as soon as possible so that we may send out a technician to diagnose your problem.

Common Signs That You Need a New AC Install in Daniel Island, SC

Trying to figure out whether your air conditioner needs to be repaired or replaced can be a tricky decision to make. Most people have a hard time letting things go, and that includes AC units. It can be hard to know when to let go of the old and welcome in the new. To help save you time and make your decision a little easier, keep the following signs in mind. If you find yourself saying, "that sounds like my AC unit," it might be time for a new air conditioning installation.

 HVAC Repair Daniel Island, SC

Strange Noises

Almost all air conditioners make a bit of low-level noise as they warm up and turn off. However, if you hear loud, unusual noises, it might be a sign that your air conditioner's time is coming to an end. Buzzing and rattling noises are often indicators of a loose part. Grinding and whistling noises may mean something more serious is happening. Because these issues won't dissipate over time, it's crucial to have your air conditioner examined if you hear loud, strange noises.

Frequent Repairs

Daniel Island AC repair is essential for keeping your air conditioner working efficiently. Sometimes, however, it makes more sense from a cost perspective to install a replacement system. This is especially true if your repairs are racking up. Some AC experts suggest using the "$5,000 rule" if you're considering a new AC install. Simply multiply the age of your air conditioner by the costs you have been paying to repair your unit. If that amount is over $5,000, it may make more financial sense to install a new air conditioner rather than pay for expensive repairs throughout the year.

Higher Energy Bills

If you notice that your energy bill has significantly increased in price, it could be a sign that your HVAC unit is struggling to cool your home effectively. Try to be mindful of your air conditioner's cooling cycles. If you notice frequent cycles, even in the summer, it could be the reason for your increased energy bill. In these cases, it's best to have an expert test your system to see if a repair or replacement option is best for your family.

Age of Air Conditioning Unit

This sign is a no-brainer and one of the easiest ways to tell if you need to install a new AC system. On average, your HVAC unit will have a lifespan of 12 to 15 years. If your unit is more than ten years old and doesn't have the "pizzaz" that it once had, it might be time to think about installing a new air conditioning unit.

R-22 Refrigerant

Old air conditioners usually require a type of refrigerant called R-22. This substance is very harmful to the environment and has been all but outlawed on newer HVAC systems. If your AC unit is old enough to require R-22, you should give serious thought to replacing your system with a newer, environmentally friendly solution.

Protecting Your Investment

Your air conditioning system works very hard every day, all year long to keep your home comfy and cool. Machines that work hard year-round are going to require maintenance and ongoing services to stay operational.

As a family-owned and operated HVAC company in Daniel Island, SC, we know better than anyone how expensive it can be to maintain an AC unit. We know that money doesn't grow on trees. We also understand that finding last-minute resources to fix an air conditioning system can be challenging. That is why we offer extended warranties for your new or existing AC equipment. With an extended warranty from Action Heating & Air Conditioning, you benefit from repairs, replacement, and additional services covered under warranty. That way, you can enjoy your HVAC products as long as possible.

 Heating And AC Services Daniel Island, SC
If you're having second thoughts about purchasing an extended warranty, consider these points:
  • Generally speaking, HVAC equipment lasts anywhere from 10 to 15 years. However, warranties provided by the factory will often expire before the service life of your cooling unit is over. With an extended warranty, your indoor comfort system is covered even if the factory warranty expires.
  • Having an extended warranty on your AC system gives you the chance to project and plan for any HVAC costs. This helps you balance your budget and anticipate expenses so you aren't caught off guard. Having a warranty will also help protect your budget against increases in labor and parts costs due to inflation.
  • If you're thinking of selling your home, having an extended warranty may help raise your home's value. You may also be able to transfer your extended warranty to your new home if you choose to do so.

I-526 interchange improvement plans change after community feedback

As traffic flow changes throughout one of the state’s busiest thoroughfares, so do the plans for the proposed I-526 Interchange Improvements project at Long Point Road. Although the traffic ramp reconfiguration will take place near the Wando Terminal at Exit 28 in Mount Pleasant, the impacts will be felt down the stretch of interstate that leads to Daniel Island.

The $165 million project proposes to improve the operations of the I-526/Long Point Road interchange and I-526 mainline and reduce operational conflicts between port-related and local traffic. The average daily traffic from Daniel Island to Long Point Road was approximately 78,000 motorists in 2017, according to SCDOT. If there was no build out or mitigation by 2050, a projected 131,000 motorists would frequent the same stretch of road daily – a 69% growth rate.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) deems the current Long Point Road and I-526 interchange configuration is deficient because it does not have the capacity to accommodate the forecasted 2050 traffic as outlined in the I-526 East Lowcountry Corridor Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study Report.

Last August, SCDOT personnel held a public information meeting to discuss the project’s proposed alternatives. Recently, as a result of community feedback received, the preliminary design of the new partial interchange, including the associated flyovers, have been adjusted in order to reduce or avoid impacts to Seacoast Parkway in Mount Pleasant, according to I-526 Lowcountry Corridor Project Director Pete Poore, who replaced SCDOT’s senior engineering project manager Joy Riley following her resignation after 13 years in December 2022.

Poore noted that the adjustment to Reasonable Alternative 2 is now the Reasonable Preferred Alternative for the project. The proposed alternative includes new ramps from the Wando Terminal that would connect to the truck climbing lanes on the Wando River Bridge.

SCDOT previously performed a safety analysis for the existing truck climbing lanes on the Don Holt and Wando Bridges and concluded that it was safer to leave the existing truck climbing lanes in operation rather than closing them to decrease the number of accidents.

Although these adjustments do not have any direct impact on Daniel Island, the Long Point Road interchange improvements are expected to greatly improve the commuter flow of traffic all the way to Daniel Island’s interchange at Exit 24.

The project has been funded by a combination of federal funds with state matching dollars through the Interstate Improvement Program in SCDOT’s 10-year Plan. Construction is expected to begin by the spring or summer of 2024.

The project’s next step is to obtain National Environmental Policy Act documentation in order to get environmental approval sometime in early 2023. NEPA compliance is estimated to take up to 12 months and the design and construction is estimated to take up to 32 months.

The I-526 corridor program includes $7 billion of interstate improvement projects representing the largest and most complex projects developed by SCDOT to date.

“SCDOT welcomes input from the communities wherever infrastructure projects are planned,” Poore added. “Our goal is to work with our partners, which includes the public. We encourage citizens to make comments and offer suggestions.”

Bishops’ comeback season closes shy of 7th state title

Jeep McCabe - Bishop England junior forward Lily Hodge looks to junior forward Madison Riley for a three-pointer in the fourth quarter of the state championship against Gray Collegiate Academy. The Bishops lost 40-32 to the War Eagles last Friday at USC-Aiken’s gymnasium.

Bishop England High School girls’ basketball coach Paul Runey was still analyzing the actions that led to the Bishops’ 40-32 loss to Gray Collegiate Academy March 3 in the Class AA state championship game at University of South Carolina-Aiken, when he was asked about the finality of his long and successful tenure at the helm of the program.

Runey announced earlier in the season that he was calling it a career after the conclusion of the 2023-24 season. A reporter asked the affable coach if he had given much thought to his retirement.

“I haven’t even thought about it,” said Runey, whose team turned a mediocre 6-7 start to begin the season, into something memorable that included the Bishops’ eighth trip to the state finals. “I have too much to think about the game.”

In hindsight, Runey knew that beating the War Eagles would be a tough task. Gray Collegiate had three players who topped the charts at 6 feet. And, he knew his team had stretches where it was tough to even buy a basket.

“If we had a stronger offense, the results might be different,” said Runey, whose team finished with a 19-12 record.

Runey also broke down the final minutes of the game when the Bishops cut the lead to two points. But the Bishops were called for a blocking foul when Runey thought it was a charge on the opponent.

But the Bishops used up all their rally magic. They managed to rally from a 12-point deficit against Andrew Jackson in the Lower State Championship to gain a 39-38 victory.

Gray Collegiate jumped out to a 10-2 lead at the end of the first period and that was the difference, although the Bishops showed mettle during the rally. The BE offense showed signs of life in the second period, but the Bishops went to the locker room at halftime on the wrong end of a 22-11 score.

“You can’t get down big against a quality team like Gray Collegiate,” Runey said. “We seem to have that one quarter where we go down and dig ourselves into a hole. This one was too deep to get out of, although the girls battled hard. It’s a tough way to lose.”

Gray Collegiate, coached by former USC basketball standout Brandon Wallace, finished the season with 10 consecutive victories to finish with a 22-6 record and its first state championship. War Eagles’ Jordan Mintz and Maliyah Mason shared scoring honors for the opposite team with 11 points apiece.

All-state selection junior guard Izzy Woods led the Bishops with 11 points, all coming in the second half. Junior forward Madison Riley chipped in with 10 points. She scored eight of the Bishops’ first 11 points.

Woods scored some big baskets in the second half including a 3-point goal with less than two minutes left in the game to cut Gray’s lead to 32-30. But Kadence Walker Lee scored on a drive to the basket and was fouled on the play.

The old-fashioned 3-point play ended the Bishops’ hopes for a seventh state title.

BE wrestling boasts best season since pandemic, crowns state champion

Pictured (from left) are Bishop England wrestling coach Paul Spence, Thomas Curl, Sam Cherichello, Griffin Buss, Sean Loughery, Dixon Hardy and Cole Preiditsch. BE qualified six wrestlers for the South Carolina Class AA Individual Wrestling Championships in Anderson on Feb. 24-25 and crowned one state champion.

The Bishop England High School wrestling program continues to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic, which shut down high school sports all over the country in March 2020 while it lingered into the next year.

Three years later, the proud program experienced its best season since the pandemic hit.

The Bishops qualified six wrestlers for the South Carolina Class AA Individual Wrestling Championships in Anderson the weekend of Feb. 24-25 with three grapplers collecting medals including junior Sam Cherichello, who won the prized gold medal. He was the 16th wrestler during coach Paul Spence’s enduring tenure to be crowned a state champion.

“It was a very productive year,” said Spence, who completed his 36th year as a coach at BE, including 32 as the head coach. “We had a lot of good things happen. But we are still struggling to fill out the lineup (with a wrestler in every weight class).”

The Bishops might not have the depth. They were in the top 10 of the Class AA team standings for most of the year, but their postseason aspirations ended with a three-point loss to Cross in the first round of the playoffs.

It wasn’t talent that lost the match. The Bishops forfeited two weight classes to the Trojans and that cost the Bishops 12 points and the match.

But they do have the talent. They qualified six wrestlers for the individual championships; Cole Preiditsch, Sean Loughery, Dixon Hardy, Griffin Buss, Thomas Curl and Cherichello competed.

Liberty won the Class AA individual team championship with 157.5 points. The Bishops held down seventh place, recording 51.5 points.

Cherichello was a state runner-up last winter and wouldn’t be denied this season. He was crowned champ in the 132-pound decision with a victory over Military Magnet’s Heicol Jiminez.

Preiditsch also fared well, claiming a silver medal in the competitive 220-pound weight division. He won the first two matches of the eight-man class.But Justin Pardue of Buford ended his dream of gold by recording a fall at the 4-minute mark.

Meanwhile, Loughery dropped his first match in the 126-pound division, but recovered, remained focused and won the bronze medal with a 12-4 victory over Adrian Hershberger of Dixie. Cherichello and Loughery’s success on the mat can be attributed to them practicing against each other every day.

“I force kids to work with different athletes so they can see different things they might not see against the same wrestler,” Spence said. “It helps elevate their game.”

Preiditsch’s career ended the same way it began: He qualified for state. He competed in the elite tournament his freshman season, but failed to qualify the next two years because of COVID and injuries related to wrestling and football. He claimed a medal for his senior season.

Meanwhile, Philip Simmons competed in the Class AAA individual state matches and claimed 19th place in the team standings. Freshman Matt Spignardo claimed a bronze in the 126-pound division.
