About Us
Affordable Air Experts was founded in 2017 by Melanie and James (Rick) Weeks. We’re a locally owned and operated HVAC company serving Greer, Greenville, Spartanburg, and surrounding Upstate communities.
Affordable Air Experts is a recipient of the BBB Torch Award for Ethics, recognition that reflects the same values the company was built on: honesty, accountability, fair dealing, and treating customers with respect.
We’re also an Authorized Trane Dealer and Rheem Pro Partner.

After years of working in the corporate HVAC world, we saw firsthand what could get lost when heating and air conditioning became too focused on volume, sales goals, and becoming bigger. We believed there was a better way to serve homeowners: fair pricing, better communication, respectful service, and local ownership with real accountability.
Today, Affordable Air Experts remains locally owned and operated, serving homeowners throughout Greenville, Spartanburg, Greer, and surrounding Upstate communities.
Focused on Doing It the Right Way
Our goal has never been to become the largest HVAC company in the area. We’d rather stay focused on doing the work the right way.
That means listening to what you actually need, explaining your options clearly, respecting your home, and recommending what makes sense for your situation instead of treating every service call like a sales opportunity.
We know homeowners have choices when it comes to heating and air conditioning. We want to earn your business by being dependable, straightforward, and fair.
Local Ownership Matters
When you work with Affordable Air Experts, you’re working with a local family-owned business, not a national chain or a company managed from somewhere else.
Our reputation is built here in the Upstate, one customer at a time. The people answering the phone, managing the company, and working in your home all have a direct stake in making sure you’re treated well. That personal accountability is a big part of why we started the company in the first place.
That commitment also extends beyond HVAC service through our local community giving efforts. See how we give back.
What You Can Expect
We believe good HVAC service should be simple:
Listen before recommending.
Explain what we find and what your options are.
Be upfront about pricing.
Show up when we say we will.
Respect your home and your time.
Keep track of your system’s service, maintenance, and warranty history.
Recommend repair when repair makes sense and replacement when it truly makes sense.
Our technicians are NATE certified, and Affordable Air Experts is BBB accredited. We also offer financing options for qualifying customers and discounts for military members and first responders.
Built on Relationships, Not Transactions
Some of our customers have been with us for years. They call us back because they know who they’re dealing with and know what to expect.
That’s the kind of business we set out to build in 2017, and it’s still the standard today. Affordable Air Experts proudly serves Greenville, Spartanburg, Greer, and surrounding Upstate South Carolina communities with heating and air conditioning repair, maintenance, and replacement services.

Heart Patient Priority
A customer waited for a new coil and the day it arrived so did the rain. Normally I would have postponed the repair for safety reasons. However, this customer was a heart patient awaiting his surgery, rain would not stop this repair.

Communicating System
Communication is key to everything even HVAC equipment. When your system cannot talk to it’s components nothing works.

After a fierce thunderstorm this board was fried and customer was without AC. Zoomed in on the board so you can see the burn marks. Repair vs replacement.

Dirty Blower Wheel
On a preventative maintenance check we inspect many components of your HVAC system, this being one of them. As you can see after time the wheel (aka squirrel cage) builds up dust and dirt. When it gets very bad it slows down the efficiency of your system and makes it work 2-3 times as hard. Also, as an added bonus the air entering your home passes through this and you and your family breathe this.
What is in your drain-line?
On a preventative maintenance we clear the drain lines with a slug (fitting name) sucker, drain solve and or nitrogen. The reason we do this is to get this build up out so that you do not have a wet spot on your ceiling from a clogged drain line, or a clogged drain line has shut your AC off and it’s the hottest day in summer.
Crack in the collector box
On a no heat call found a crack in the furnace collector box, the water damage cracked the secondary heat exchanger.

Bad contactor, needs to be replaced and this customer will be back to living the cool life in summer. We heat the cool, and cool the heat!
Filters should NOT be fuzzy
Filters should be changed more frequently than this picture, when your filter looks like your dog / cat it is VERY PAST DUE.
