Local Insight — West Ashley

In Charleston, Goose Creek, Hanahan, Ladson, and surrounding areas, many homeowners do not think about heating until the first real cold snap. Because systems often sit unused for long stretches, first-start issues are common at the change of season. A pre-season tune-up is especially practical in this climate, where heating demand is lighter but sudden temperature drops still put systems to the test.

Homeowner Tip

Before turning the heat on for the season, install a clean filter and test the thermostat by raising the setting a few degrees above room temperature. Walk through the home to make sure vents and returns are not blocked.

⚠ Do not ignore burning smells that persist after initial startup or any repeated shutdowns; if those occur, schedule professional service.
