Air Conditioning Repair Service

When an air conditioning system struggles to keep up, delivers uneven cooling, or stops working entirely, professional repair becomes a priority. Preferred Home Services provides dependable air conditioning repair focused on restoring system performance and preventing further disruption.

Our technicians are NATE-certified and experienced with a wide range of cooling issues, from declining efficiency to complete system failures. That experience, combined with fully stocked service vehicles and modern diagnostic tools, enables repairs to proceed efficiently and with fewer delays. Homeowners across South Carolina rely on this approach when cooling problems require clear answers and decisive action. Emergency air conditioning repair is available for systems that fail during extreme heat or outside standard business hours.

Extended runtimes, exposure to humidity, and aging equipment can all accelerate wear. Addressing issues early helps preserve repair options and avoid more extensive system damage.

Full-Service Air Conditioning Repair Capabilities

Residential cooling systems vary widely by design, configuration, and age. Repair services are provided for all major system types, including central air conditioning systems, packaged units, heat pumps, ductless mini-split systems, and multi-zone systems.

Related components, such as thermostats and indoor air quality equipment, are also evaluated when they affect overall performance. This whole-system approach helps ensure repairs restore dependable operation rather than temporarily masking symptoms.

Signs It’s Time to Request AC Repair

Cooling issues rarely resolve on their own. Professional repair should be considered when any of the following conditions are present:

  • Short cycling that prevents consistent cooling
  • Unusual noises or odors during operation
  • Rooms that never reach a comfortable temperature
  • Hot and cold spots throughout the home
  • Rising energy usage without changes in habits
  • An aging system that struggles during peak demand

Allowing these issues to persist often places additional strain on critical components. Early attention helps stabilize performance and reduce the likelihood of emergency failures.

Repair or Replacement Decisions

Every repair visit begins with a clear evaluation of system condition and performance. When a repair provides lasting value, the focus remains on restoring reliable operation. If underlying limitations indicate continued breakdowns or declining efficiency, replacement options are clearly explained to help homeowners make informed decisions.

Once performance is restored, ongoing maintenance can help protect system reliability during extended cooling cycles.

Brian and his team did a great job working until 8pm to make sure we had water for the night and back at it early the next morning. When a problem came up they just said we going to fix you right and didn’t try to up charge. I thought the price was high until I experienced the service! Thanks guys

You CALL THEM when you need the job done right, done efficiently, and done professionally. They show up when they say they will, you get a text with a picture and info about who's showing up. They are respectful of your home putting on shoe covers, every time. They explain thoroughly everything they see and what they are going to do. Plus, they don't make you feel bad when you ask a lot of questions or when you ask for them to explain things further. Furthermore, they put a guarantee on their work! Nick Baldini has come out to our home for 2 separate issues and he is Outstanding!!! Hawk came out aswell to assist on one of them I can't be more pleased with both of them. Ask for these guys, you won't be disappointed!

Great work from tech Griffin King of Preferred Home Services. Outstanding communication skills and thorough evaluation of my 8 year old HVAC system. Great proposal on semi-critical items to get fixed before the summer AC season along with a few things that could be done next time. Ask for Griffin by name. Good guy!

Austin Henderson was a technician who came to my home today. He was very professional and he provided me with clarity of the work that could be done. In addition to that, he provided me with a full range of services offered by Preferred Home Services. He also verified the pressure on my waterline and informed me that the regulator needed to be replaced. He provided me with a number of options, all of which I was grateful for. Should we choose to work with Preferred Home Services, I would welcome having Austin be the technician to do the work.

I've been a customer for a few years after bouncing around other providers. They consistently provide quality and professional experiences and I feel they genuinely have my best interest in mind. After a number of years avoiding the inevitable, we finally came to the point of needing a full unit replacement.

The installation process was seamless and clean, with overly tidy touches and thoughtfulness from the installation team such as rodent prevention guards that could have easily been overlooked. New system is operating as expected and I trust Preferred to maintain the system for years to come.

This is the 2nd time LB has come out to help diagnose/repair problems with our HVAC system. He’s knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. Each time he has offered a fair assessment of the problem and straight forward estimates for repair.

CHRIS HARBIT was an absolute GODSEND!! We’ve had a water leak for about 4 months I would say. We’ve had at least 5 people come out to assess it and told us it was a slab leak which would have cost us at minimum $8000. Chris came out and listened to our concerns and actually assessed the situation and found a leak in the INSIDE!!! This man fixed one leak and found another and this second one gave him some challenge but he never gave up and finally found a solution and it was fixed!!! I can’t tell you how relived and so full of gratitude I am. Thank you thank you so so much!!!

Every technician Ive had out has been prompt, knowledgeable and friendly.
Today's technician, Tony, did a fantastic job and gave me informed options for how to solve my plumbing issue. I was completely satisfied with the work and will continue to utilize Preferred in the future.

Becca taught me a lot about HVAC systems and electric heating which are all new to me! She took all the time I needed and explained everything in detail. She did not push anything on me, but left the choice to me. Left the place clean after she was done! Good job, Becca!
