How can I save on my energy bill?
When is it Time for Air Conditioning Maintenance?
The answer starts with a home energy assessment. Environmental Solutions and Services (ESS) will take a detailed look at how your home consumes energy and determine whether there’s a way to use less.
Many homeowners like to do a spring A/C tune-up, to make sure your system is running efficiently and is ready for the oppressive Lowcountry heat and humidity. Some signs your A/C needs maintenance are:
Suggestions may include sealing your air ducts, encapsulating your crawl space, getting new windows, and more.
• It’s been a year or more since last service. A/C systems work best when maintained once a year. •You had problems with your A/C last year. •Unusually high energy bills.
Most of the time, ESS will be able to do the work to make your home more efficient. If they can’t, they’ll always send you to reliable companies they have worked with for many years. For more information, call Environmental Solutions and Services at (843) 881-0027 or visit essforcleanair.com.
Maintenance includes inspecting entire system, cleaning system where dust and debris collect, changing your filters and testing each component against manufacturer's standards. For more information, call C&C Myers at 843-881-7588 or visit ccmyersservice.com.
Enduring Excellence Buying something that brings you happiness and built to last is something everyone seeks. In our “throw-away” culture, finding a product that will not have to be produced in the future not only saves you money but reduces the energy costs related to manufacturing plus the impact of shipping a product by truck.

Expect their products to endure through the Lowcountry’s heat, humidity and salty air. A lasting example of the craftsmanship of Kenneth Lynch and Sons is the renowned Statue of Liberty and Chrysler Building. Kenneth Lynch was hired in 1926-1927 to successfully make repairs to the leaking Lady Liberty and helped create the rounded edges and contours of the Heroic Eagles on the Chrysler Building in 1928, which are still in place today.
