Local Insight — Hanahan

Heat pumps are a common fit for Charleston, Mount Pleasant, James Island, Johns Island, and other Lowcountry areas because winters are usually mild and summers are long. That year-round use means components can wear steadily, and coastal air can be hard on exposed outdoor equipment near beach and island communities. Service is especially useful before cooler weather when defrost and auxiliary heat functions may first be needed.

Homeowner Tip

Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, mulch, and dense vegetation, and replace the air filter regularly. Inside, make sure supply and return vents stay open so the system can move air properly.

⚠ Do not chip ice off the outdoor unit or open electrical panels; if the system repeatedly frosts over or loses heating capacity, call a professional.
