When your HVAC system fails, the company you call matters. First Choice Heating & Air has earned the trust of homeowners across the Grand Strand by showing up on time, diagnosing problems accurately, and never starting work without a clear, approved estimate. Here is what you can expect every time you call us for emergency HVAC service in North Myrtle Beach.
We also understand what coastal conditions do to HVAC equipment. Salt air corrodes coils and contactors, humidity stresses motors and electrical components, and sand clogs drain lines faster than homeowners expect. Our technicians are trained specifically for coastal HVAC repair and know what to look for in North Myrtle Beach homes.
Any situation that leaves your home without heating or cooling qualifies. Common emergency HVAC calls include complete AC failure during summer heat, a furnace that stops working on a cold night, refrigerant leaks, electrical failures, and systems that are making unusual sounds and then shut down. If you are unsure whether your situation warrants a call, reach out — we will help you assess it.
We aim to respond to all emergency HVAC calls as quickly as possible, and we prioritize homes with children, elderly residents, or medical needs. We will give you a clear arrival window when you call. No 12-hour waiting around. You will also receive your technician’s photo ID by text or email before they arrive.
Our diagnostic fee is $95, and it is fully waived when you proceed with the recommended repair. We are transparent about all pricing before any work begins. When you call, ask our team about current rates for after-hours and emergency service calls so you have a full picture before we dispatch.
Yes. Our technicians are trained on all HVAC system types, including central AC systems, gas and electric furnaces, heat pumps, and ductless mini splits. We service all major brands and carry a wide inventory of parts on our trucks so most emergency repairs can be completed on the first visit.
If a specific part is not on our truck, we will expedite the order and schedule a follow-up as quickly as possible. We will be upfront about the timeline before we leave so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. If your emergency repair reveals that a replacement is the more practical option, we can walk you through financing options to make that decision easier. We never pressure a replacement, but we will give you honest guidance so you can make the right call for your home and budget.
First Choice Heating & Air is a family-owned HVAC company built on a simple philosophy: listen first, explain everything, and never pressure a homeowner into a decision they are not comfortable with. Founded by Kevin Goude, First Choice has grown into one of the most trusted HVAC companies on the Grand Strand, not because of marketing, but because of the work our technicians do every day in homes across North Myrtle Beach, Conway, Little River, and beyond.
We are a local company that understands the specific demands of coastal HVAC. Our technicians are factory-trained, continuously certified, and experienced with the corrosion, humidity, and salt air conditions that shorten HVAC system lifespans in this area. When you call First Choice, you are calling a company that genuinely cares about getting it right.
Many emergency HVAC calls are preventable. Regular maintenance catches failing components, dirty coils, low refrigerant, and corroded contacts before they cause a full system failure. Our Service Shield membership program gives North Myrtle Beach homeowners priority scheduling, discounts on repairs, and annual maintenance visits that keep your system running reliably through every season.
Members also receive priority status during peak demand periods, which means when the summer heat hits and everyone needs AC repair at once, our members get to the front of the line. Ask about enrollment when you call.
An unexpected HVAC failure is stressful enough without the financial pressure of a large repair or replacement bill. First Choice offers financing options designed to help North Myrtle Beach homeowners get the service they need without delay. Whether you are facing a straightforward emergency repair or your technician has determined that a replacement makes more sense, we can help you find a payment plan that fits your budget.
Our team will walk you through available options clearly and without pressure. Ask about financing when you call or when your technician arrives.
A broken HVAC system is never convenient, and in North Myrtle Beach it can become dangerous fast. Summer temperatures regularly push into the high 90s with humidity that makes it feel even hotter, and a home without air conditioning can become unsafe within hours. First Choice Heating & Air provides 24 hour emergency HVAC repair for North Myrtle Beach homeowners, with technicians available around the clock and a clear, professional process from your first call to the final repair.
Our emergency HVAC service covers every system type: central air conditioning, gas and electric furnaces, heat pumps, and ductless mini splits. Every technician arrives with a fully stocked truck, a factory-trained background, and the authorization to get the work done right on the first visit. We send you your technician’s photo ID before they arrive and provide a complete written estimate before any work begins. No surprises, no pressure.
When your air conditioning fails in the middle of a North Myrtle Beach summer, you need a response you can count on. Our emergency AC repair team is dispatched as soon as you call, with the parts and equipment to handle the most common AC failures on the spot. We service all major brands and work on all system types, from standard central air systems to coastal-hardened heat pumps exposed to salt air and humidity.
First Choice technicians are trained on all major HVAC brands and carry a wide inventory of parts specifically for the systems most common in North Myrtle Beach homes. From failed capacitors and refrigerant leaks to compressor issues and electrical failures, our 24 hour mini split and HVAC repair team has seen it all and is equipped to fix it quickly.
While North Myrtle Beach is known for warm weather, winter nights can drop into the 30s, and a heating system failure is a genuine emergency. Our 24-hour heating repair team responds just as quickly in January as it does in July. We handle emergency furnace repair, emergency heating service for heat pumps, and any other heating system failure that leaves your home without warmth.
Furnaces fail typically in one of a few ways: cracked heat exchangers, failed igniters, clogged filters, and faulty limit switches are among the most common. Our technicians diagnose furnace problems accurately on the first call and carry the parts most often needed for same-visit emergency furnace repair. We also check for safety issues, including carbon monoxide risks, as a standard part of every furnace call.
Heat pumps are the most common heating system in coastal South Carolina homes, and our technicians specialize in them. Whether your heat pump has lost heating capacity, is stuck in defrost mode, or has stopped responding entirely, our 24 hour heating repair team can diagnose and resolve the issue. We also service electric and gas furnaces, air handlers, and zone control systems throughout North Myrtle Beach.
“Good things happen when we sit around the kitchen table.”
