When a Summerville homeowner reached out through Facebook, they had a clear mission—get their home ready to sell and meet the requirements outlined by their home inspector.

We know that selling a home in South Carolina’s Lowcountry means more than a fresh coat of paint or tidy landscaping. A cooling system that performs efficiently in the Summerville heat can make all the difference in a buyer’s decision.

Getting the Call from a Homeowner Preparing to Sell

The homeowner’s message came in shortly after their inspection report. The home inspector had noted that the HVAC system needed a preventative maintenance inspection and cleaning before the house could be listed for sale. That’s where our team stepped in.

For us, these types of service calls are an opportunity to make a real impact—both on the home’s comfort and on its market appeal. We scheduled the visit quickly, understanding the homeowner’s timeline and goal of keeping their sale on track.

Taking a Closer Look at the System

When we arrived at the Summerville home, we began with a complete system check. Preventative maintenance inspections go far beyond a surface-level clean. We evaluated the air filters, inspected coils, checked refrigerant levels, and confirmed that all components were running efficiently.

As expected, the system had some buildup that was affecting airflow and cooling performance. After a thorough cleaning and tune-up, we tested the system again—and the difference was immediate. Airflow improved, temperatures dropped faster, and the homeowner’s reaction said it all: “WOW! It’s cooling so much better.”

That’s the kind of feedback we love to hear. Not only was the homeowner relieved to check the inspection item off their list, but they were also impressed by how much better their system worked once it had been properly maintained.
