    Carolina Air Care has installed and serviced multiple systems at my houses and my daughter's…read morehouses. Until recently I would have rated them highly. I no longer do. Problem is they DON'T stand by their work. They installed a new flexible return air duct for me in 2021. It collapsed, because they didn't adequately support it. The duct was installed with supports appropriately every 10 feet, and should have been supported every 4 to 5' per standards. They charged me AGAIN to replace the duct that was incorrectly installed the first time. BOTTOM LINE: Don't use Carolina Air Care if you want a company that stands by their work.

    Carolina Air Care advertises being in existence for 20 years, and we have been a customer for 11 of…read morethose years. We are a retired couple with modest home heating/cooling requirements. In 2015, we purchased a new Lennox system (Merit 5 Ton 15 Seer Split Heat Pump) from Carolina Air Care. We contracted solely with Carolina Air Care for the system's annual maintenance. Within a few years a coil needed to be replaced, and while the unit was under manufacturer warranty, the labor for replacement was not, thus saddling us with a high repair bill. In 2024, within 9 years of purchase, the Lennox system then had such failure that it needed total replacement. We remained a Carolina Air Care customer (our mistake) and purchased a new Rheem system (5 ton 14.3 Seer 2 Split Heat Pump). Again, we contracted solely with Carolina Air Care for annual maintenance. In 2026, just 25 months after purchase, the compressor failed. Carolina Air Care estimated we would incur a several thousand dollar repair cost. To be clear, 2 new HVAC systems of different brands we purchased from Carolina Air Care over 11 years had multiple system failures and short lifespans. We don't have the technical expertise to ferret through the intricacies of the failures (e.g. manufacturing defect, subpar installation/maintenance, our usage pattern, or combinations). And we doubt that Carolina Air Care knows. But our unfortunate experience is that Carolina Air Care's business practice doesn't include it sharing responsibility, even with long-term customers. It took us 11 years to understand that. We have lost trust and moved on to another HVAC company.

    I HIGHLY recommend calling Claude if you have any AC issues. He was able to come out the same day…read moreand was right on time. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem(something Fogel Services could not do, even though they charged me for service...I would absolutely NOT recommend wasting your time with them). Claude is very knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, and gave some great tips. I can't recommend him enough.

    We had a very bad experience with Southern Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning.  It is our feeling…read morethat we were defrauded by the owner Claude McAlhany, who is also the technician that came out.  Our air conditioner stopped working on Labor Day weekend.   Claude came out and claimed to have added 13 lbs of freon at a cost of $1950.  It did not fix the problem.  He came back the next day and said the control board had to be replaced and charged us an additional $2,075 for replacing it.  This also did not fix the problem. When we called Claude back, his son texted us that his father had a heart attack and was at a hospital in Columbia.  I have no idea if this is true, but it seems suspect, as he clearly had no intention of coming back to fix our unit.  We then called Aptus HVAC.  The technician informed us that our air conditioning unit could only hold around 7lbs of freon and there is NO WAY it could hold even close to the 13lbs for which we were charged.  He also said that the control board was NOT new and had about 4 years of dust on it.  Needless to say, we were devastated that we had clearly been taken advantage of.  Aptus went into the attic - something Claude never did - and replaced the motor at a cost of $450.00.  We called Claude back and told him what we learned about the work he did.  He was defensive and said that we don't know what we are talking about.  He said that the unit may take 7 lbs. but we have to account for the coils and the piping to the house.  We did our research on our unit and learned that standard R-410A systems require about 0.6 ounces of extra refrigerant per foot of copper piping over the standard 15 feet. To need an extra 5.6 pounds, our indoor and outdoor units would have to be roughly 160 feet apart. This is incredibly rare for a residential home and especially for a home of our size, which is only 2100 SF.  We were clearly taken advantage of and overcharged.  When we asked about the control board, he claimed that maybe the box was open and that it might have gotten dusty sitting in his truck or that it got about four years of dust in the 4 days between when he installed it and Aptus came out.  His theories are not credible.  I should have verified if he was licensed before we hired him.  After the fact, I could find no record of him being licensed with the State of South Carolina, Charleston County or the town of Mount Pleasant.  When asked on the phone if he was licensed, his response was "Here is my license number, kiss my ass".  He then texted and said "don't ever contact me again".  Later that night he attempted to explain the 13lbs of freon with some shots of a Google search - but the data he provided was on a much larger unit than we own.  When I pointed that out - he went silent again.  I don't really understand how he thought he could get away with so brazenly ripping us off.  Maybe he saw two older people and thought we wouldn't figure it out. In any case, use caution and do your homework if you hire Southern Seasons.

I called Brian's Mechanical and they responded immediately. I was impressed how skilled they were and took care of the issue. Even worked with me concerning the financial situation options too. Owner is a former military man like my late husband. A real honorable owner with integrity and polite employees too! Call Brian he will take good care of you and your AC!

    We have used Brian's Mechanical for a few years. We paid for the yearly service. They would come…read moreout twice a year to check our furnace/AC unit. The service techs were always polite, knowledgeable and courteous. If there was an issue with our units, they would suggest a few options we could do and the prices were never outrageous. This past weekend, we had an issue. The outside temps reached 117F, and we woke up Sunday morning to a leak in my kitchen...the furnace is right above the kitchen area and it was pouring out of a pot light..what a mess...I got on the phone with Brian, and he gave me a few solutions and we made an appointment for them to come out..they couldn't come out on Sunday but we were scheduled for Monday! I spoke to him a few times Sunday, sending pictures and explaining what was going on and we followed his suggestions and within a couple hours, the leak stopped!! I am so thankful that I was able to cancel my Monday appointment. Everything was running perfectly...I am super happy with the service Brian gave me. He even called this morning to make sure we didn't need him..if I ever have any issues with my furnace/AC unit, I will be calling Brian's Mechanical for sure!!!
