Longs

Local HVAC Service Across Longs, SC

Longs sits inland in Horry County, well off the coast, with a mix of 1970s ranches on Highway 9, brick split-levels, and newer golf-community builds in Colonial Charters, Long Bay, and Aberdeen Country Club. Heat pumps, central AC, and heating systems here work harder than most because the trapped inland heat, pine pollen, and winter cold snaps below freezing all add up.

Comfort Masters is based in Little River, a short drive east on Highway 9, and our techs are out to Longs regularly for both repair and new installation work.

Local Climate

What Longs Conditions Mean for Your HVAC

Three inland factors that change how HVAC systems perform in Longs.

Longs sits inland in Horry County, miles from the coast and surrounded by pine forests. The combination of trapped late-day heat, pine pollen on outdoor units, and winter cold snaps below freezing makes HVAC systems work harder here than the barrier-island homes we service.

We’ve been making the Highway 9 drive from our Little River shop into Longs since 2019. The patterns of what fails and what holds up are predictable, and three inland factors drive most of those decisions:

Schedule an Inspection

Heat Pump Season

Longs winters drop below freezing more nights than the coast, so heat pumps lean on backup strip heat through January cold snaps. Annual maintenance catches weak heating stages early.

Pollen and Pine Debris

The pine forests around Longs coat outdoor condensers through spring and fall pollen seasons. A clogged coil pulls more amps and runs hotter, which shortens compressor life. A spring tune-up clears the coil before peak summer load.

Inland Heat Load

Longs has no afternoon ocean breeze, so AC runs later into the evening than coastal homes. Right-sized systems matter, and a 1990s install often can’t keep up with what summers look like now. Financing is available when replacement makes more sense than another repair.

Our air conditioner wasn’t working well at all, even after a different company said it was fine. It would barely cool the house. Although Alex was busy he fit us in for a second opinion. He had calibration tools and did load calculations. … Wish I had called him first and saved some money.

Tim B. Google review · 2nd opinion · AC repair

On this 90 degree day, one of our two units stopped working. We called just before 5pm and left a message. … 10 minutes later there was a knock and the door and within 30 minutes, air was flowing again.

Patriot Girl Google review · Same-day · AC repair

I have been using Comfort Masters for several years and a I am more than satisfied with their service. … My HVAC is checked 2X per year including changing my filters. When I needed a part I was charged for the part only.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Alex Todd, owner and founder of Comfort Masters Heating & Cooling
01

How fast can you get to a Longs HVAC repair?

Same-day in most cases when you call before noon. Saturday hours run 8am to 4pm, and after-hours service is available for HVAC emergencies like AC out on a July afternoon or no heat during a January cold snap.

02

What's the best HVAC system for a Longs home?

A properly sized heat pump handles both summer cooling and winter heating without a separate furnace. Most Longs homes do not need gas. We size every install with a Manual J load calculation based on the actual house, not square footage rules of thumb.

03

How often should I service my heat pump in Longs?

Twice a year. Once before summer cooling, once before winter heating. Heat pumps in Longs run nearly year-round, which is twice the runtime of a furnace-plus-AC setup. Our maintenance plans start at $115/year for one visit, $175/year for two.

04

Why do Longs HVAC condensers fail faster?

Pine pollen and yard debris. The pine forests around Longs coat outdoor coils every spring and fall. A clogged coil pulls more amps and runs hotter, which shortens compressor life. An annual coil cleaning extends system life by several years.

05

Do you offer financing on a new system?

Yes. Financing is available on approved credit for full HVAC replacements. We give you a written quote with brand and model options on paper before any financing decision.
