As temperatures begin to drop along the South Carolina coast, Conway Air Conditioning wants to ensure your home stays warm and comfortable throughout the winter months. Whether you’re in Conway, Red Hill, or anywhere along the Grand Strand, proper heating system maintenance and timely repairs are crucial for your family’s comfort.

Signs It’s Time for Furnace Replacement

If you’re experiencing any of these warning signs, it might be time to consider a new heating system:

• Your furnace is more than 15-20 years old
• Energy bills have increased significantly despite similar usage
• Frequent repairs are becoming costly
• Uneven heating throughout your home

Emergency Heating Repair

When temperatures drop in Socastee or Loris, a malfunctioning heater requires immediate attention. Common heating issues include:

• Faulty thermostats
• Dirty filters
• Pilot light problems
• Mechanical wear and tear
• Blower motor issues

Smart Investment: Heater Installation

Installing a new heating system is a significant investment in your home’s comfort and value. Modern systems offer:

• Improved energy efficiency
• Better temperature control
• Quieter operation
• Smart thermostat compatibility
• Lower monthly utility costs

Preventive Maintenance Tips

To keep your heating system running efficiently:

• Replace filters monthly
• Keep vents unobstructed
• Schedule annual maintenance
• Monitor unusual sounds or smells
• Check thermostat batteries regularly

Remember that coastal air can be particularly hard on HVAC systems. The salt air and humidity in areas like Red Hill and Garden City make regular maintenance even more critical for system longevity.
