The island’s community life centers around landmarks like the Edgar Allan Poe Library and the Sullivan’s Island Elementary School.

Sullivan’s Island’s Past and What It Means for Your Home
Originally a strategic military outpost, Sullivan’s Island is steeped in Revolutionary War history and architectural heritage. The presence of older homes with legacy plumbing and dated HVAC systems can pose significant efficiency and safety concerns. At 1st Choice A/C, Heating, Plumbing & Gas, LLC, we specialize in system upgrades that respect the historical integrity of your home while modernizing performance. Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom or upgrading kitchen plumbing, our trained technicians deliver solutions that blend seamlessly with the island’s historic aesthetic.
Summer Heat and Storm Season Readiness
Living on the coast has its perks, but the humid summers and frequent storms can take a toll on your HVAC systems and indoor air quality. With July highs pushing 90°F and humidity levels above 70%, air conditioning units are under heavy strain during peak months. Storm surges and saltwater exposure also contribute to accelerated wear on exterior units and plumbing.
Our NATE-certified technicians are equipped to install and maintain SEER2-compliant HVAC systems that exceed South Carolina’s energy efficiency standards. We also offer indoor air quality solutions that combat allergens and airborne pollutants so you can breathe easier during allergy season and stormy months.

Life on Sullivan’s Island revolves around meaningful connections and island traditions. From farmers markets and beach cleanups to seasonal festivities like the Fourth of July fireworks and the annual Lighthouse Run, the spirit of the community is alive year-round.
At 1st Choice A/C, Heating, Plumbing & Gas, LLC, we understand the value of being part of something bigger. That’s why we support local homeowners with services tailored to island life, such as outdoor gas lines for summer cookouts or efficient HVAC systems that keep your guests comfortable during holiday gatherings. Our team operates with a rigorous set of core values, always placing your comfort and satisfaction at the center of everything we do.

Getting Around Town and How It Affects Your Comfort
While Sullivan’s Island is compact and walkable, it connects easily to nearby Mount Pleasant and Charleston via SC Highway 703 and the Ben Sawyer Bridge. These commuter routes mean increased exposure to vehicle pollutants, especially in peak season.
We offer indoor air purification systems that combat these airborne irritants, improving the quality of life inside your home. Whether you’re on Middle Street or closer to the marshes, our systems help reduce dust, allergens, and outdoor pollution inside your living space.
