Folly Beach
Folly Beach, SC is the kind of coastal town where charm meets challenge. The Atlantic breeze is refreshing, but the salty air, high humidity, and sudden storms make maintaining your home’s comfort a year-round effort. That’s why homeowners throughout Folly Beach trust 1st Choice A/C, Heating, Plumbing & Gas, LLC for reliable HVAC, plumbing, indoor air quality, gas line services, and bathroom and kitchen remodeling.
As a locally owned and operated company with NATE-certified technicians, we bring both technical skill and coastal know-how to every job. Whether you’re battling musty air, outdated piping, or a bathroom in need of a full redesign, we’re dedicated to seeing customers satisfied with every job.
Where Folly Beach Locals Live and Relax
Folly Beach may only be six miles long, but it’s packed with distinctive neighborhoods and vibrant public spaces. From the riverfront homes of Sunset Point to the iconic cottages near Center Street, each property has its own charm and its own service needs. Our technicians understand the architectural quirks and coastal vulnerabilities that come with Folly’s unique homes.
We often work in and around popular gathering spots like Folly River Park and the Edwin S. Taylor Pier, keeping plumbing and HVAC systems running smoothly so residents can enjoy their homes without disruption. From quiet side streets to the bustling beachfront, we help maintain the comfort that makes Folly feel like home.
Folly’s History and What It Means for Your Home
Folly Beach has faced its share of hurricanes and infrastructure setbacks over the decades. Events like Hurricane Hugo left a lasting mark on local buildings, many of which were built before modern construction codes. That means older HVAC systems, corroded plumbing, and aging bathrooms and kitchens still in service today.
At 1st Choice A/C, Heating, Plumbing & Gas, LLC, we specialize in updating the essential systems that keep homes livable. Whether it’s replacing a rusted-out water heater, redesigning a 1970s-era bathroom, or modernizing your ductwork, our team brings long-term solutions to long-standing problems.
Coastal Conditions and Seasonal Strain
With average summer highs in the upper 80s and humidity that clings well into the night, Folly Beach homes experience consistent HVAC strain. That’s why we recommend seasonal tune-ups and high-SEER2 HVAC systems designed to handle both heat and moisture.
Salty air also accelerates corrosion, affecting everything from AC coils to exposed plumbing. Storm season brings a fresh set of risks: heavy rainfall, power surges, and airborne pollutants. Our indoor air quality (IAQ) specialists install purification systems that filter mold, pollen, and salt air, keeping your family healthy year-round.
Folly Beach Events and Local Connections
Whether it’s the Sea & Sand Festival or Folly Gras, this town knows how to bring people together. We’re proud to support homeowners who open their doors to visiting friends and family, helping keep their systems running in peak condition.
As frequent attendees of local events and proud winners of several Mt. Pleasant awards, we’re deeply connected to the Lowcountry lifestyle. Our team works hard behind the scenes to ensure your home is just as inviting as the beachfront festivals Folly is famous for.

Roads, Access, and Why Fast Service Matters
With only one way in and out, Folly Road (SC-171), traffic flow can affect service access. We prioritize fast dispatch and tight scheduling so that even during peak beach season, you’re not left waiting. Traffic congestion and bridge backups can also trap vehicle emissions, contributing to poor IAQ. Our air purification and filtration systems help mitigate the effects of poor outdoor air on your indoor quality.
