Fast AC Repair in Charleston to Restore Your Comfort
Is Your AC Running but Not Cooling Your Home?
When your AC is on but your home still feels hot, it’s frustrating and stressful—especially in Charleston heat. Many homeowners worry the issue could be something major or that they’ll be pushed into replacing the system. The good news is most problems can be diagnosed quickly and repaired once the root cause is clear. Alexander Heating & Cooling focuses on identifying the real issue first, so you get the right fix without unnecessary work.
The Most Common AC Problems We Fix
Warm Air Coming From Vents
If your AC is blowing warm air, the issue could be refrigerant, airflow, or system components. The right diagnosis gets cooling back quickly.
AC Running Constantly
A system that won’t shut off may be struggling to keep up due to dirty coils, low refrigerant, or airflow restrictions.
Frozen Coils
Ice buildup often points to airflow or refrigerant issues. Running the system this way can cause further damage if not addressed.
Short Cycling
Frequent on-and-off cycles can wear out your system and signal underlying problems that need attention.
Humidity Not Improving
If your home still feels sticky, your AC may not be handling moisture properly—a common issue in Charleston homes.

Quick Guidance Before You Call
Check Your Thermostat Settings
Make sure it’s set to “cool” and the temperature is lower than the current room temperature.
Inspect Your Air Filter
A clogged filter can restrict airflow and cause multiple system issues.
Look for Ice or Water Around the Unit
This can signal frozen coils or drainage problems.
Pay Attention to Sounds
Unusual noises often point to mechanical issues that need attention.
