Experience an everyday miracle, with our Complete AC System Rejuvenation!

AC Maintenance

Most people don’t realize HVAC systems actually need regular AC system rejuvenation. But they do! You would NEVER drive a car 100K miles without changing the oil, would you?

The problem is, most so called “AC Tune Ups” are done badly.  Some guys just hose off the coils and throw in a filter and call it “tuned up.”

That’s why we don’t call what WE do a “tune up.” It’s not a regular old tune up. What we offer is a complete rejuvenation of your air conditioning system.

Our System Rejuvenation:

  1. extends the life of your AC system
  2. reduces your electric bills
  3. guarantees your system won’t break down all summer! If it does, we’ll return and repair your unit, for FREE.

You’ll repair it…for free?

It’s an over-the-top guarantee, but not crazy. We’re doing this because we know our System Rejuvenation WORKS: it will extend the life of your unit, which will use much less energy to cool your home, which in turn will save you money every month.

And we further believe when you experience the skilled excellence and real heart we put into our maintenance service, you’ll want us to be YOUR heating and air guys forever. This is a win-win!

Here’s what we do:AC Maintenance, Tune Up, Air Conditioning Maintenance

  • We professionally clean all the baked-on plaque from the coils in your system, so it’ll use less energy and cool more quickly.
  • We install a Crud Buster in your condensate pan to eliminate odors and stops drain line clogs before they happen.
  • We lubricate all moving parts and install a new air filter.
  • We conduct a 47-point diagnostic including checking Freon levels and all operating temperaturee.
  • We install a new battery in your thermostat.
  • THEN we recalibrate your entire system back to factory fresh specifications.
  • If we find any component that is broken or worn out we’ll show you, and you can decide if you’d like us to fix it.
  • If you don’t want us to repair it, no problem! But we’re not gonna guarantee or pretend that a system rejuvenation will fix your problem.
  • If you DO want us to repair it, we’ll give you a 15% discount on the repair and we’ll guarantee your repaired and rejuvenated unit for a whole year!

THAT my friends is excellence, and it comes from the heart:  We Believe we exist to make your life better by improving the comfort of your home (and reducing your energy bills).

An Air conditioner rejuvenation is the ounce of prevention that’s worth a pound of cure.

If you’d like our miraculous $127 AC System Rejuvenation

just contact us using any method on this page

…and prepare to be amazed.

 Why so little for a Complete System Rejuvenation?

We believe in giving our customers much MORE than what they pay for. So we’re offering you the same bill reducing, life-extending heater or air conditioner rejuvenation we give our Comfort Club members twice a year for just $19.95/mo! (It pays to be FAMILY).

Richie Reviews: Fast & Furious 8

The Fate of the Furious

Richie saw The Fate of the Furious this past weekend and gives his take on all the action.  We love movies at One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning.  Did you know that movie theater were some of the first publicly air-conditioned spaces?  It’s true!  Check out Richie’s Review of The Fate of the Furious.

We love our Comfort Club members so much, that we pick a random member every week and send them to the movies… for FREE!

TIME, The Conqueror

My Dad learned everything he knew about heating and air conditioning from his dad, Sammy. To me, my Grandpa and my Dad were HEROES; But I was just a kid in 1978, the morning I woke up and they told me grandpa had died…Sammy and Richie Drew

Sammy was gone.

My Dad sat alone in the old workshop, finishing repairing an window unit Sammy’d been working on. Dad finished it.

We climbed into Sammy’s old faded red, white and blue service truck, and Dad said, “Richie? We’re gonna show Grandpa what we can DO, right?”

“RIGHT.”

HVAC, Richard's Story, One Hour Heating & Air

Richard + Deedy Drew

Well we almost starved that first winter. We’d made just 98 bucks in February. But Mom said, “Just hold on, a little longer.” So Mom made flyers and we went door to door, and the summer of ’79 was HOT so calls started trickling in. And, they have just kept on comin’…

But in the slower times, like right now, Dad always offered folks what he called “The Greatest System Replacement Package On The Planet” (He also called it the “Keep My Guys WORKIN’ Package”). So now, I’m offering this deal to YOU.

Just call us at One Hour now and I promise, you WILL receive the greatest deal that EXISTS on a new heating and air system. It’s a family tradition!

Ready for a new heating and air system? Yes? EXCELLENT!

Well here’s what you get:

FREE 10–Year Parts and Labor Warranty

This costs me around $468, but we actually purchase the 10-year labor warranty from the manufacturer which is backed by a third-party insurance company. So YOU are completely covered in the event of a repair down the road, but it also insures WE get paid for our labor in the event of a needed repair.  This one is a win-win! It’s a no brainer really.

FREE 5” High Efficiency Air Filter

I sell this filter system for $479 all day long, but we’re already there installing your new system so it’s not really costing me any extra labor. So again we take on a little more cost to do the job and you save hundreds of $$. Another win-win!

 FREE Air Duct Cleaning

And this is a REAL complete duct system cleaning; We normally charge about $600 for this (depending on the size of your system), so you save $600. So yes I give up some money, but at the end of the day I see this as a win-win too, because my guys remain happily WORKING during the slow season.

Magical FINANCING

I usually select our most attractive financing options from the banks (like reduced APR, or NO payments for 18 months, or ridiculously low monthly payments). We have several options, but the bottom line is: I can get most of our clients financed for a new system without you putting any money down and you have a monthly payment that isn’t painful.  Not everyone has the money to replace their old clunker just lying around, so we give you all your options and you pick what’s right for YOU. So this is a win-win-win here.

But you still want a great PRICE, right?

Not bragging here, but because we are among the Top 5 largest One Hour franchises in America, I get the lowest equipment pricing available from our manufacturer. Also, because of our large volume they send me a huge rebate check. We’ve qualified for this since 2015 and since then I have been steadily lowering the price on this seasonal system replacement deal, basically passing the rebate on to our clients.

 Pick a system, any system!

Not just top tier systems. ANY system. Doesn’t matter if you only need a new outdoor unit or just an indoor unit. Doesn’t matter if you need a package heat pump for a mobile home, a condo unit, or a new compete system. Even if you need more than one system. It doesn’t matter what size you buy or the efficiency rating (a 14 SEER all the way up to 20 SEER, your choice!). We’ll give you upfront, straightforward pricing on ALL of them.

The TIME is short

Like I said I’m only offering this absurd deal until it gets really cold for more than just a day or two and our business picks back up. So call me now and we’ll look at what you need and what you want, and give you the absolute BEST value for your dollar, delivered and GUARANTEED.

Thank you for reading this long-winded message. I hope you will be among the few who will benefit from it!  Just call for a free precise quote, no strings attached, at 843-448-6867.

Warmest Regards,

Richie Drew

Owner, One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning

P.S. If you need to replace your old HVAC system this will be the lowest price we offer all year long plus you will get over $1,547 in Additional Savings on the duct cleaning, 10 year warranty, & High Efficiency Filter.  Plus you can take advantage of our amazing financing options.  Plus, I will personally guarantee you the lowest cost in our market for all of this value.

P.P.S  My guys can only install about 28 new systems per week, so the sooner you book this install, the sooner we can get YOUR new HVAC system professionally installed (along with all these free extras and crazy benefits!)

Merry Christmas! Give the gift that keeps on giving… Comfort Club!

The Sleigh Ride

This year Richie & Marty took Santa’s sleigh out for a little spin.  Although frightened, Marty was super excited about giving the gift of Comfort Club, so customers can get two cleaning & maintenance visits per year, 20% off HVAC repairs, and 5% OFF new heating & air conditioning equipment.  Comfort Club means peace of mind for our customers.

They land the sleigh on a customers roof and use a little MAGIC to get down the chimney.

Sammy’s Story

Sammy taught Richie to serve your fellow man and always do what’s right. Sammy shared that when you focus on doing good work and making someone else’s life better, at the end of the day, you win. We believe that success comes from serving our customers well, doing it right, and doing it from the heart.

The Defrost Cycle: Our customers ask… and we deliver.

“My air conditioner is covered in frost, making loud noises, and the fan stopped. Please come fix it.” – a valued One Hour customer

It’s actually your heat pump that’s covered in frost.  Heat pumps cool our home in the summer and heat your home in the winter and run a defrost cycle as needed.  It’s that time of year again: cold outdoor temperatures, heat pump condensers covered in frost and loud noises coming from these units.  Every winter our customers question these conditions, and we don’t blame them for asking.  Most people are not familiar with the 3 cycles of a heat pump: heating, cooling & the defrost cycle.

Why is there frost on my heat pump?defrost cycle, HVAC, frost on air conditioner
Frost is fairly normal in the winter under certain conditions.  When the heat pump is heating a home and the outdoor air is cold, the outdoor coil acts as an evaporator.  The outdoor coil has moisture on it that’s evaporating, and under certain conditions of temperature and relative humidity, frost might form on it’s surface.  A frosted coil is inefficient, so heat pumps have a built in solution for this normal frost situation: the defrost cycle.

Why is the heat pump making loud noises?
This is the defrost cycle kicking on to eliminate or prevent frost on the condenser coils.  The loud noise is the sound of the valve reversing  directions of refrigerant in the system.  Temporarily the system will heat the outdoor coils to 57 degrees F and melt or prevent any accumulation of frost.  This is intentional and happens during cold weather, when outside temperatures approach or go below freezing.  The colder the outside temperature, the louder these defrost cycle noises.  A typical defrost cycle might run from 30 seconds to several minutes, and might occur regularly at timed intervals or as needed.

Why did the fan stop moving? It must be broken.
This is also a normal feature of the defrost cycle.  During defrost, the movement of air across the coils is not needed because it would slow down the heating of the coils that are dealing with the frost.  A moving fan would be less efficient, so it’s turned off during the defrost cycle.  With the fan off and decreased air flow, the coils will heat to 57 degrees F faster.  No fan?  No problem during defrost cycle.

Is that steam coming from my unit?
As frost melts, you may see some water vapor rise.  After defrost, when the heat pump resumes normal operation, leftover moisture and sometimes water vapor caused from the warming coils and melting frost remains.  The fan starts spinning and this “steam” will exit the system upward, with the fan’s airflow direction.  This is normal as well.

What do I do?
Don’t panic.  Give the system time to properly complete the defrost cycle.  After defrost is completed, it will return to normal operation. The defrost cycle can kick-in regularly throughout a cold day or night.

If your heating & air conditioning system is failing to heat or cool your home properly, please call us at 843-448-6867 or fill out the form on the contact page and we’ll be in touch shortly.
