How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance for a Fripp Island home?

Is it safe to install a tankless water heater in a coastal home?

Yes, and in fact, tankless water heaters are ideal for coastal properties like those on Fripp Island. They’re energy-efficient, space-saving, and built to last with corrosion-resistant components. We’ll help you choose a model that suits your home’s size and water usage needs.

Can you help with electrical upgrades for a vacation rental property?

Absolutely. We handle electrical panel upgrades, lighting enhancements, and smart thermostat installations to improve safety, efficiency, and renter satisfaction. Our licensed electricians know how to discreetly perform work without disturbing guests or tenants.

Why does my plumbing system clog more frequently in a beach home?

Sand, minerals, and organic debris are more common in coastal plumbing systems and can cause buildup over time. We provide thorough drain cleaning, filtration system upgrades, and routine inspections to keep everything flowing properly.

I was planning on leaving for a long road trip yesterday morning. While packing the car in the garage at 6 AM I discovered that my 13-year-old water heater had breathed its last breath. I called R.S. Andrews a few minutes after they opened and spoke with a very proficient in professional staffer, who assured me that their plumbing technician would be on site within the hour. Paul arrived 45 minutes later ready to diagnose my problem. Paul was knowledgeable, experienced and extremely professional. I had purchased a new unit and had it installed within four hours of my original phone call. Excellent in every way. Thank you R. S. Andrews for a job extremely well done.

Mike showed up on time, on a weekend call explained what the problem probably was. Worked for a while found that he needed back up got the back he needed fixed my problem. Then took the time to explain about another project I was curious about. Truly professional helped fix my house. Can't say more on how happy I am with the service I received. Update- Paul installed a new gas tankless water heater. This is replacement for my older electric tank water heater. I did not have gas in the house when I requested this he ran the line, and changed the water line routing for the new configuration. He drained the old tank removed it and now I have extra space in my utility closet. He tuned the faucets in the bathroom for the new heater and made sure everything was working great. Truly an expert in his field.

Michael Hutchinson was awesome!! He’s the most patient soul. He installed a new kind of water heater, and this was a first on his own. The installation went great, but when it was time to power it on it did not turn on. He checked and rechecked the hook up. He called for guidance and tried everything he was told . After a while he called the supplier who gave him more things to try. That took an hour or more. The man suggested one more thing to test. This part was faulty. The part was ordered, and Michael easily swapped it out. He went for a long time working on this. He had missed his lunch. He just kept persisting. He never used any profanity. He would just sigh a frustrated breath but kept going. He was a nice guy who didn’t give up. I appreciated his honesty about it being a new type of water heater and his needing advice.
