AC NOT BLOWING COLD AIR AND OTHER COMMON AC ISSUES
FROZEN EVAPORATOR COILS
Is your AC not blowing cold air? The evaporator coil is likely frozen. This problem often occurs when there is a lack of airflow. Frozen evaporator coils will need to be cleaned by your AC unit repair contractor.
BROKEN FAN BELT
Your AC’s fan belt can wear out over time. The subsequent squealing noises will often alert you to fan belt issues. Our AC repair technicians in Charleston, SC, can easily fix this problem by replacing the belt.
DAMAGED MOTOR OR COMPRESSOR
The motor and compressor on your air conditioner will eventually wear out. In some cases, it makes more financial sense to replace the entire system than just the motor. Our AC unit repair specialists will evaluate the problem and let you know whether repair or replacement is best for your situation.
LEAKING REFRIGERANT
Is your air conditioner emitting foul odors or making hissing noises? Your unit likely has a refrigerant leak. Don’t attempt to refill refrigerant on your own! Our AC repair experts in Charleston, SC, will help determine the right amount of refrigerant to fix the issues you’re experiencing.
CLOGGED DRAIN PIPELINE
Your AC unit may run poorly or emit bad odors if the drainage system is clogged with dirt, dust, or algae. You’ll need to have a professional technician clean the drain pipeline. Our air conditioning repair company can also ensure your unit is mounted properly so you will not experience drainage problems again.
MALFUNCTIONING THERMOSTAT SENSOR
The thermostat sensor is located near the evaporator coil and measures the air temperature in the coil. Based on its reading, the thermostat will adjust the cooling settings. If the sensor is out of alignment or malfunctioning, the air conditioner may turn on and off frequently. Our licensed technicians can quickly fix the broken AC unit and get your home cooling properly.

"Rudd Plumbing, Heating and Air are the BEST!.. Adam, Joshua, Shaun, and crews have not let us down. I would highly recommend this group for reliability, price and expertise."
Marcus is a gentleman and a scholar. He was able to not only diagnose the problem, but explained it in layman’s terms. Not high pressure. I had an attic duct pull apart, simple problem to someone like Marcus, I’m sure. But he assessed the entire duct system as well so I likely won’t have problems in the near future. And he took photos of all the duct work in the attic and before and after photos.
Rudd heating and cooling did a fantastic job installing a new HVAC to my Seabrook Island home. Nathan was knowledgeable and informative and was a pleasure to work with throughout. Patrick, Tyler and Fabian did my install and they were terrific and I would use them again for any installation. The whole process was trouble and stress free. Thank you Rudd of Monk's Corner. Leon C
Josh Moxley was on time, professional and very informative. He was also thorough and very courteous!!Josh showed me and emailed me Pictures of my readings on everything he checked on the gas heating unit and air handler!!I very highly recommend Josh and will be asking for him personally again!! Great Technician and awesome service!!!I would highly recommend Rudd for all your HVAC /Heating maintenance and plumbing issues!!Thank you 😊. Mike Andrews
Sam Watson did a great job with our toilet replacement. He was professional, quick, and fixed the problem perfectly. I'm very pleased with his service.
I had a wonderful experience with Rudd Plumbing. They came out, found the problem and fixed it. Very neat work, they also cleaned up behind themselves, and they kept me informed every step of the way. Thank you. I had Nick from Rudd Plumbing. They definitely have my business.
While the problems with my system go beyond a snaking out, the price to actually snake out the line was pretty high and the estimate to fix the main line was totally unreasonable.
We all know needing a plumber can be a stressful situation, so when we found ourselves in need of one we were less than thrilled. However we were lucky enough to have found Rudd Plumbing. They made the experience stress free. Enter Nick, who was professional, extremely knowledgeable and able to complete the job same day. Work done efficiently and neatly. We can't say enough great things about Nick...oh, and Rudd too!
Our kitchen sink was overflowing and our best attempts to fix it failed. So it was time to call a professional for him and this company answered the phone very quickly, no voicemail no waiting for calls back. Harrison Ruble did a great job of arriving ahead of schedule. He diagnosed the problem and unclogged our sink very quickly using the drain snake. He also diagnosed additional problems we weren’t aware of. Be ready to pay some money for the service but if you need help fast, Rudd is the first place you should call.
Eric and the Rudd team were professional and walked me through every step of what needed to be corrected and why. Showed up on time and completed the work within the timeframe estimated. Great experience overall!
We had a great experience with the team from the office staff to plumbers on site. Eric was thorough in his explanations and documentation, helping us make an informed decision. Eric, Nick and Isaac were all professional and completed the work in a timely manner.
We had our annual inspection conducted by Jessie. He spent quite a while inspecting and cleaning our unit. In the end everything was in good order. Jessie was very professional and did a great job explaining his findings and making recommendations to ensure longer life of our HVAC unit.
I have been a client with RUDD Plumbing, Heating & Air for 10+ years. I truly can say this is a company that cares about their clients by providing good customer service with prompt, courteous, professional & knowledgeable technicians. I highly recommend RUDD for your heating and air services.
Ola: He has great customer relations skills.He reviewed, in easy to understand language and pictures, why my 16 yr old unit was no longer heating. After he explained Rudd’s method of quality control, I have confidence I will receive excellent service and the best product to solve my HVAC problem. I hope Ola will continue to work for Rudd so I can specifically ask for him to do my maintenance and fix any problems I might have in the future. James Salvo 11/4/24Outstanding service again from Ola! He took time to explain how to use my HVAC most efficiently and one thing he recommended be done. Again, I am very impressed with Rudd’squality control.

He was very thorough in his examination Kyle arrived on time, was very courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. He was very thorough in his examination of my plumbing and explained what he found in a way that was easy for me to understand. If possible, I would give him a six star rating!!
Eric worked very hard in order to clear my main sewer line in the pouring rain. He had to locate the line first and then dig around the line before repairing it. Very nice work.
John the service rep that came out was excellent took his time with me explained everything,checked everything out, really nice guy . I felt very comfortable with him, I recommend him highly thank you
Wish I could give 10 stars! I can't recommend Rudd enough. We had a large repair job that took all day, but Rudd was wonderful through every step. Jayce, Josh, the office staff, and everyone we worked with were patient, kind, explained every detail, and didn't stop working until the job was complete. They made sure to cover their shoes every time they stepped through the door and maintained a clean workspace through it all. They never hesitated or delayed to answer my questions or concerns. Taking care of a home can be stressful, but they gave us peace of mind and we're grateful to have found someone we can trust whenever we need them. Thank you!

My telephone conversation was extremely helpful! Josh is Rudd's Plumbing Manager who oversees the company's plumbing department with employees.Josh's product & competition knowledge, experience and customer "Follow-Up" Definitely has been Recognized!Thank You,Ron N.
Josh was knowledgeable, thorough and courteous. He addressed our issues and then some. He represents Rudd professionally. We have had others out to the house to address our concerns multiple times. Josh was able to identify the problem, fix it, and getting us heading in the right direction. I would recommend Rudd based on our experience alone with Josh.
