Before we know it we’ll be well into our hot, humid season here in Lowcountry, and time is running short for the opportunity to upgrade your home’s HVAC system before those muggy temps hit our area.

That short upgrade window is especially important for homeowners with older, prehistoric systems, as the odds about whether your system will make it through the summer are against them.

If you’re one of those Lowcountry homeowners with an ancient heating and cooling system — and in dire need of an upgrade — here’s how we can get you a FREE (or discounted) system upgrade if you act fast in the next 6 days.

1. Find Your HVAC System’s Model & Serial Number

The first thing you’ll want to do is track down your HVAC system’s make/model and serial number — make/model would be the manufacturer (Trane, Ruud, Carrier, etc.) and the model of the unit would be type of unit (usually a combination of numbers and letters). The serial number should be located at or near the same location that you find your make/model information on the unit.

If you need assistance finding your make/model or serial number, feel free to contact us and we’ll try to help you track it down.

2. Take A Few Quick Pictures Of Your System

Next, take a few pictures of your system — nothing fancy, but make sure at least one of the pictures includes the make/model and serial number information you’ve found in the first step above.

3. Enter Your System’s Info Into Our Prehistoric Comfort Contest

With your system’s information and pictures pulled together, visit our Prehistoric Comfort Contest 2021 page and submit your details using the form on that page.

If your system happens to be the oldest out of all of the contest entrants, we’ll contact you during the first week of March to schedule you free system upgrade!

If you’re not the winner of the contest, you can still win big!

The next 20 qualified contest entrants with the next oldest systems will receive a 15% discount on a new system upgrade.

Contest entrants are flowing in, so be sure to submit your system on or before March 1st to make sure you get your chance at a free HVAC system upgrade in 2021!

Posted in HVAC Deals & Promotion | Comments Off on Have An Ancient Air Conditioner? How To Get A Free Upgrade In 3 Easy Steps

As local temperatures and humidity start to creep into our usual summertime balmy levels here in Charleston, so to, comes the increased strain on our air conditioning systems.

Whether you have a traditional central A/C, ductless mini-split system or even geothermal cooling, this is about the time of year your HVAC gets a bit more attention that you might want.

Unfortunately that extra attention on your HVAC can come with extra cost as well.

If something does happen with your HVAC and you have to dole out some extra dollars to have it repaired, replaced or serviced below are some quick tips that can save you time & money when it’s time to give your local HVAC company near you a call this year.

Saving Money On AC Repair & Service

We go into more detail in this post about money saving tips for HVAC service calls, but if you need to have your system repaired or serviced, it’s good to have the following information for your HVAC company ready:

• System Make & Model
• System Age (Approximate)
• Service Call History

Even if you have a few of the above notes about your system’s information & history, it can save your HVAC tech a ton of time troubleshooting your issue. That extra time can sometimes save you extra money when it comes to the final service/repair bill, so try to have that information on hand before calling your heating and air company.

The other major thing you can do is to sign up for a maintenance plan for your system after getting it repaired or serviced. Maintenance plans typically come with decreased pricing on both replacement parts and labor — every little bit adds up, so be sure to ask your HVAC company about their benefits of an HVAC maintenance plan.

Saving Money On AC Installation or Replacement

If your HVAC system is past its prime and a new system or replacement is in the stars for 2020, there are ways to keep what is usually a high price tag, as low — or differed — when you move forward with your project.

Many area homeowners receive rebates from our local electric companies when they go with higher efficiency air conditioning systems, so be sure to ask your provider about system requirements before you start your installation.

Besides rebates, most HVAC companies also have some sort of finance offer (details often change with the season/promotion), which allows you to pay off your new system over time with little or no interest.

While financing doesn’t necessarily lower your overall cost, it does keep it from stinging all at once, which can benefit many Lowcountry homeowners’ monthly budgets.

For this year’s edition of our Moose Is Loose summer HVAC promotion, we’ve teamed up with a local animal shelter to help keep their pets fed and housed until they find a new home in the Lowcountry.

The Moose Is Loose contest/promotion — which runs all summer — gives one entry to Lowcountry homeowners when they install a qualified Trane HVAC system. After 75 entries are reached, a raffle will take place in which we’ll draw from those entries and award cash prizes of $1,500 for the 1st drawn entry, $750 for 2nd and $250 for 3rd.

Carolina Climate Control will then match the total prize amount ($2,500) and donate it to Pet Helpers Adoption Center and Spay/Neuter Clinic, located on James Island.

We at Carolina Climate Control love getting to meet our customer’s pets and it saddens us to see the pets that go without a permanent home. We hope to help the local community see this promotion not only as a way to keep your home cool with the possibility of a cash prize but also give an opportunity to give one of these animals a new home.
