What homeowners notice
A cooling problem can start with something simple, but the real root cause isn't always easy to spot. Dave's provides expert air conditioning repair services across Spartanburg and the Upstate. We look at the whole system so your fix is based on what's actually happening.
Warm air can come from several places: a thermostat issue, a refrigerant problem, a failed capacitor, a contactor that isn't pulling in, a weak fan motor, or a compressor that isn't doing its job. Dave's checks the system before anyone starts guessing.
When the AC keeps running and the home still won't cool down, the problem may be the outdoor unit, dirty coils, low refrigerant, duct losses, poor equipment performance, or a system that is simply falling behind in Spartanburg heat.
If the inside blower runs but the outdoor unit sits quiet, Dave's checks power, fuses, contactors, capacitors, wiring, thermostat calls, pressure safeties, and control circuits. That kind of no-cooling call needs an experienced HVAC technician, not a parts cannon.
Short cycling can be hard on the equipment and hard on your patience. It may point to low refrigerant, overheating components, thermostat placement, dirty coils, safety controls, or equipment that isn't operating in a stable rhythm.
Ice usually means the system needs attention before it can be properly diagnosed. Dave's looks for the reason it froze, which may include refrigerant concerns, a dirty evaporator coil, a blower issue, restricted air movement, or a metering problem.
Water near the air handler can come from a clogged drain, cracked pan, float switch trip, frozen coil thawing out, or a drain line that was never set up right. Dave's checks the cause so the same mess doesn't keep coming back.
Electrical problems deserve careful troubleshooting. A tripping breaker, buzzing contactor, burnt wire, loose connection, bad thermostat signal, or low-voltage issue can all shut down comfort and create bigger problems if ignored.
Weak airflow can choke your comfort, but it's rarely a standalone issue. Dave's checks filters, blower operation, coil condition, returns, supply runs, and ductwork repair concerns when rooms stay hot or vents feel weak.
Meet Dave's
Dave's is veteran-owned, family-operated, and built around the RightFirst Standard.
Real people. Real diagnostics. Real accountability.
Repair first when it makes sense
Not every cooling issue calls for a major equipment replacement, but putting more work into a failing unit isn't always the smart move either. Dave's runs a complete diagnostic check, tells you what's happening, and helps you make a clear-headed choice.
When a single part fails on an otherwise reliable system, a straightforward repair often makes the most sense. That can apply to electrical components, localized adjustments, drain issues, and some motor replacements.
If your unit has repeated leak issues, poor past installation work, major compressor trouble, or keeps stacking problems, Dave's will show you what we see so you can make the right call.
Dave's explains what the repair solves, what the surrounding system looks like, and whether the equipment still looks worth repairing. You should understand the choice before you make it.

Clear answers for homeowners trying to figure out what is safe to check, when to call, and how Dave's approaches AC repair in Spartanburg and across the Upstate.
No. While Spartanburg is one of Dave's core service areas, Dave's provides AC repair across much of the Upstate. Our regular service area includes Boiling Springs, Greer, Greenville, Taylors, Duncan, Lyman, Inman, Moore, Roebuck, Wellford, Cowpens, Pacolet, Woodruff, and surrounding communities. If you are not sure whether you are in range, visit our service areas page or give us a call at 864-384-5349 and we'll tell you straight.
Other than changing your indoor air filter, checking basic thermostat settings, and keeping the outdoor unit clear of weeds and debris, AC repair is best left to licensed professionals. Air conditioners involve high-voltage electrical parts, motors, controls, refrigerant, and safety switches. A quick DIY guess can create bigger damage, unsafe operation, or warranty problems.
Many common AC repairs are minor electrical, drainage, or control-related fixes that often fall in the $200 to $400 range, depending on what failed and how accessible the repair is. Larger repairs, like fan motors, compressor issues, refrigerant leaks, or major electrical problems, can cost more. Dave's diagnoses the system first, explains what is wrong, and gives you the repair options before work begins. Financing options are also available for larger repairs when needed.
Start with the basics: make sure the thermostat is set to Cool, the fan is set to Auto, and the indoor air filter is not packed full. If the system still blows warm air, or if you see ice, hear strange noises, or smell something electrical, turn the system off and call Dave's.
When a system runs nonstop without cooling the house, something is keeping it from doing its job. The issue could be dirty coils, low refrigerant, weak outdoor-unit performance, return-air problems, duct losses, airflow restrictions, or a system falling behind in Upstate heat. Dave's checks the whole system so the repair is based on what is actually happening.
If your cooling system is under 10 to 12 years old and the problem is isolated, repair often makes sense. If the system is older, breaking down repeatedly, struggling with comfort, using more energy than it should, or facing major compressor or refrigerant problems, replacement may be worth discussing. Dave's will show you what we find and help you weigh the options without pressure. You can also visit our air conditioning services page to see how repair and replacement decisions fit into the bigger picture.
Yes. Even good HVAC equipment can struggle if the air delivery side has problems. Weak airflow, hot rooms, dusty rooms, or uneven comfort can come from crushed ducts, disconnected ducts, leaking ducts, poor returns, dirty coils, blower issues, or poor air balance. If the equipment is running but the home still is not comfortable, ductwork repair may be part of the answer.
Yes. Dave's RightFirst Comfort Plan is built to keep trained eyes on your HVAC system before the next breakdown. The plan includes two HVAC maintenance visits per year, professional coil cleaning, priority scheduling, and a 10% member discount on qualifying Dave's HVAC, plumbing, electrical, generator, and install work.
