Isle of Palms’ Past and What It Means for Your Home
Originally established as a summer escape for Charleston residents in the late 19th century, Isle of Palms has seen steady development since the 1940s. With that growth came a range of residential structures, from historic homes with aging pipes and ductwork to modern builds with cutting-edge systems.
Our team understands how this architectural mix influences service needs. Whether it’s retrofitting IAQ solutions in older homes or replacing aging copper plumbing in mid-century properties, 1st Choice A/C, Heating, Plumbing & Gas, LLC approaches every project with an eye for historical sensitivity and modern efficiency.

Our NATE-certified technicians help homeowners prepare for peak season performance. From installing smart thermostats to balancing ductwork for consistent cooling, we ensure your system isn’t just running, but optimized. And when a sudden tropical storm knocks out comfort, our quick response ensures you’re not left sweating it out.
