Around Bluffton
Most wine cooler calls in Bluffton come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.
