Waccamaw Heating and Cooling

What Waccamaw Heating and Cooling does

Waccamaw Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing is a privately held home services company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. The company installs, maintains, replaces, and repairs HVAC systems (including heat pumps, geothermal, and ductless mini-splits) and provides residential plumbing services (drain cleaning, repiping, leak detection, sewer lines, water treatment, and water heaters). It operates two offices — Pawleys Island and North Myrtle Beach — serving Horry and Georgetown counties with 24/7 emergency availability, and holds an A+ BBB accreditation.

The business is built on a direct-to-consumer field service model. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time professional service work and equipment sales, supplemented by a recurring subscription product, the Energy Savings Maintenance Plan ($24.99/month base plus $10 per additional system), which provides tune-ups, priority service, and discounted repairs. The company addresses both residential homeowners (primary) and local commercial businesses (secondary), and partners with Wells Fargo, Service Finance, and Santee Cooper to offer customer financing for larger replacement projects. Technicians are dispatched into the field rather than interfacing through a software platform, with no consumer-facing app or API.

In December 2025, Waccamaw announced a partnership with Beach Air to combine HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services, extending the company's service-line breadth and improving availability. The technology stack is mechanical and infrastructure-focused — hydro jetting, video camera inspection, thermal imaging, acoustic leak detection, and water treatment systems — with no proprietary software or AI components in evidence. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or acquisition history.
