Air Conditioning Repair in Folly Beach, SC
Summers in the Lowcountry are hot, humid, and sticky. After a long day at the beach or downtown with your friends, nothing feels better than kicking back on the sofa while your air conditioning cools you off. On the other hand, nothing feels worse than walking into your home and feeling warm, stale air hit your face. Those who know, know - having your AC go out during a South Carolina summer is no joke. With time, a relatively minor inconvenience can turn into a real health problem.
In situations like these, something has probably gone wrong with your HVAC system. If your AC has stopped working in the middle of summer, it's time to call Action Heating & Air Conditioning right away. Our team of certified HVAC professionals has years of experience repairing and servicing AC equipment. It doesn't matter how old your unit is or what brand you bought - we have the skills to get your home comfort system up and running in no time.
Here are just a few of the AC issues that our talented team can help solve for you:
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.
Broken Air Conditioning Compressor Fan
This fan plays an important role in your AC unit's heat transfer process. When your air conditioning fan breaks, your AC equipment won't be able to cool your home off in the summer when it's needed the most.

Common Signs That You Need a New AC Install in Folly Beach, 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.
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
Folly Beach 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 Folly Beach, 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.
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.

FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCBD) – Organizers behind a New Year’s Eve drone show that ended with at least one person injured on Folly Beach are investigating what caused the malfunction.
The Folly Association of Business said in a statement Wednesday that it was excited to offer a unique alternative to its annual fireworks display and offer a drone show for celebrators.
The show, scheduled to start at 7 p.m., ended after only two displays when some of the drones began falling from the sky. An adult male was struck by one of the drones and suffered non-life-threatening injuries to his face.
Drone operators almost immediately began a controlled descent so that the drones could return to their designated landing zone.
“New Year’s Eve is a time to celebrate, and for reasons beyond our control, we were not able to deliver the spectacular drone show we had planned for the community,” the organization said. “At this time, we do not have details on what went wrong with the display. We do know that [one person] sustained light injuries as the drones dropped to the ground, but they were treated and released on-site.”
“FAB would like to sincerely apologize for any harm and inconvenience our residents and visitors experienced at last night’s drone show. FAB’s commitment to Folly Beach and the surrounding community is steadfast, and we will move forward to continue to serve you in 2025,” the organization added.
The Folly Association of Business said they are working with authorities and the drone operation company, Lightyear Drones, to provide information on what caused the malfunction and how they will address these kinds of challenges in the future.
“The team at Lightyear Drones wants to express our sincere disappointment for not being able to complete tonight’s drone show. The wellbeing of our audience is our utmost priority, and we regret any distress or inconvenience caused,” said Lightyear Dones in a statement about the incident.
Folly Beach’s public safety officials said the incident was reported to the Federal Aviation Administration for investigation.
News 2 spoke Stuart white who is a certified FAA drone operator and was watching the drone show. He said he immediately knew something was wrong when he says he began to hear drones colliding with each other and falling. He estimates he heard at least 15 drones fall, and told us he doesn’t think they should’ve gone up under yesterday’s weather conditions.
“As a responsible drone pilot, you have to assess the risks involved. Doing something like this is a very complicated system and we have a cold front coming in right now and so it’s been very windy, and it was very windy all day yesterday. These systems are not necessarily designed to work well in the wind, that’s in my opinion where the failure happened and honestly, I think it should’ve been canceled before they attempted to do it at all, but there’s immense pressure on the people who are providing that service to make it happen,” said White.
The beach community’s annual Flip Flop Drop continued without incident.

FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCSC/AP) - A celebration scheduled for Saturday night on Folly Beach will gather people in a celebration of the Festival of Lights.
On eight consecutive nightfalls, Jewish people gather with family and friends to light one additional candle in the menorah, a multibranched candelabra.
In Hebrew, Hanukkah means “dedication,” and the holiday marks the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BC, after a small group of Jewish fighters liberated it from occupying foreign forces.
With the tiny supply of ritually pure oil they found in the temple, which they expected to last only a day, they lit the menorah and it stayed lit for eight days. The ritual of lighting a nightly candle, as well as the emphasis on cooking foods in oil such as potato pancakes called latkes, memorialize this miraculously long-lasting oil.
Residents and guests of Folly Beach are celebrating Hanukkah for the third year in a row with prayers from a Rabbi at Folly River Park. Visitors will see the lighting of the Menorah and participate in songs with multilingual song sheets. Organizers say the most important aspect of the event is incorporating everyone into the festivities.
Folly Beach resident and event founder Nadine Vogel says she started the holiday event two years ago. Vogel says many Christmas events were happening in the area for the holiday season but no mentions of the Jewish holiday.
She says the help of the city mayor, residents and local businesses helped bring the Festival of Lights to Folly Beach with donations and contributions. The event gets larger each year as visitors outside of the area also attend.
“Although we did it for the Folly residents,” Vogel says. “We have found that year after year we have people coming from West Ashley, from John’s Island or from Mount Pleasant. Year one we had 75 people here, last year we counted over 80.”
The celebration continues in the Folly Beach Community Center with music, traditional holiday food and games like playing the dreidel, a four-sided spinning top. Vogel says everyone from all religious backgrounds are welcome to celebrate. She says she hears positive feedback from the community as the event is an opportunity to learn about other cultures and religions.
“All the way to, ‘I’m so glad my children learned how to play dreidel, they have friends who are Jewish and they felt left out, they didn’t know how to play,’ or ‘This is so much like our religion,’” Vogel says. “You know, I think we live in a time that we need more understanding about each other’s practices and just each other as people and I think that’s what this does.”
Guests are receiving gifts for the first time in this event. A lottery drawing will take place to receive a prize for all ages that was donated by the community. Vogel hopes each family will leave with a present for the holiday.
The event begins at 5 p.m. in Folly River Park, located on Center Street.
Hanukkah began this year at sundown on Christmas Day for the first time since 2005. It continues through New Year’s Day.
EDITOR’S NOTE: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the event was scheduled to take place Friday night. It begins Saturday at 5 p.m. We regret the error.

What was meant to be a dazzling alternative to fireworks ended in chaos as drones from South Carolina’s Folly Beach New Year’s Eve show plummeted to the ground, injuring one spectator. The mishap, reminiscent of a recent drone show debacle in Florida, has sparked an investigation into what went wrong.
The Folly Association of Business (FAB), which organized the event, had aimed to offer an environmentally friendly celebration with a high-tech twist. The drone show kicked off at 7 p.m. on Tuesday night with about 250 drones, but within three minutes, it spiraled into disaster.
Spectators shouted warnings as drones began falling. According to Sgt. Zack Halpern of the Folly Beach Department of Public Safety, the falling drones caused a scene of confusion and concern before the remaining drones initiated a controlled descent. One man sustained facial injuries during the incident. He was treated on-site and released, according to FAB’s statement.
FAB confirmed they are collaborating with Lightyear Drones, the drone show operator, and local authorities to determine the cause of the failure. “New Year’s Eve is a time to celebrate, and for reasons beyond our control, we were not able to deliver the spectacular drone show we had planned for the community. At this time, we do not have details on what went wrong with the display,” FAB stated.
Lightyear Drones has expressed regret over the incident, emphasizing their commitment to audience safety. “The wellbeing of our audience is our utmost priority, and we regret any distress or inconvenience caused,” the company said.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been notified and is expected to contribute to the investigation of the drone show fail.
Stuart White, a certified FAA drone operator who attended the event, suggested to local media that high winds from an incoming cold front might have been the root cause. “These systems are not necessarily designed to work well in the wind, that’s in my opinion where the failure happened and honestly, I think it should’ve been canceled before they attempted to do it at all, but there’s immense pressure on the people who are providing that service to make it happen,” he explained.
White estimated hearing at least 15 drones collide mid-air before falling.

FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCIV) — Event organizers with Folly Beach's New Year's Eve drone show apologized to patrons who witnessed the machines fall from the sky Tuesday night while promising to investigate the malfunction.
On New Year's Eve, around 7 p.m., patrons at Center Street in Folly Beach tuned in to watch a drone show that was to replace the annual firework tradition. Three minutes into the show, spectators shouted at local authorities that drones were falling from the sky. During the roughly 30 seconds of chaos, one man was struck by a drone and needed on-site treatment for what public safety officials described as "non-life-threatening" injuries.
The drone show was supposed to offer a "unique alternative to our annual New Year's Eve firework display" while lessening the ecological impact on local beaches, The Folly Association of Business said in a statement Wednesday morning. The show didn't continue after the drone debacle.
"FAB would like to sincerely apologize for any harm and inconvenience our residents and visitors experienced at last night’s drone show," the statement continued. "FAB’s commitment to Folly Beach and the surrounding community is steadfast, and we will move forward to continue to serve you in 2025."

The Folly Association of Business is working with local authorities and the drone operation company, Lightyear Drones, to provide information on what caused the malfunction, organizers said.
“The team at Lightyear Drones wants to express our sincere disappointment for not being able to complete tonight’s drone show," Lightyear Drones said in a statement. "The wellbeing of our audience is our utmost priority, and we regret any distress or inconvenience caused.”
The Federal Aviation Administration was notified of the malfunction and will head the investigation, a public safety official said Tuesday night.
A drone show in Orlando, Florida, was canceled on Dec. 22 when several drones reportedly fell during a holiday show, injuring one and prompting an investigation by the Federal Aviation Authority.
This was the City of Folly Beach's first year hosting a drone show to celebrate New Year's Eve.
