J & J Air, a heating and cooling company in the North Myrtle Beach area, is locally owned and operated by Jeremy Hartlaub.

The company serves both residential & commercial clients, and their trademark mission is fast, friendly service by well trained and licensed technicians. 
Back in 2001, J & J Air was founded on the basic idea that consumers should be able to rely on a company that holds itself to higher standards. 

“To our way of thinking, honest work grows an honest business by offering quality products & services at a competitive price,” explains Jeremy. “We follow the same basic principle today, as our business continues to grow, and we never forget what got us here.”

He notes that the company’s dedication to its clients, along with broad-based knowledge of industry practices sets J & J Air apart from its competitors.

J & J Air has always differentiated itself through excellence in technical ability and serving our clients. We are a full-service heating and air conditioning company serving the Grand Strand. We service and repair all brands of heating and air conditioning systems including air conditioners, furnaces, and all heating and cooling equipment. 

You will have confidence that your comfort system will be operating efficiently with regular heating and AC service from our qualified NATE certified J & J Air technicians, extending the life of your HVAC system.”

As locals know, the lovely sea breezes with the rich, salty air we love so much also wreaks havoc on anything left outdoors—cars, appliances, bicycles, and the list goes on. J & J Air have their clients covered on that, too, because Jeremy and the team continually educate themselves on the latest technology available in the industry.

“Living on the beach comes with its unique challenges, from the salt air that can corrode outdoor air conditioning units to the extreme seasonal temperatures,” Jeremy confirms. “However, with a geothermal HVAC system that has no outdoor unit, clients have the perfect solution for keeping coastal homes and businesses comfortable, quiet, and extremely energy-efficient. Not only do clients reduce their environmental impact, but also enjoy a level of comfort that was previously hard to achieve in a coastal climate.”

The geothermal HVAC systems not only achieve a cleaner environmental presence, they also come with tax breaks! There is a 40% federal tax credit for commercial geothermal HVAC installations, a 30% federal tax credit for residential installations, PLUS an additional 25% SC tax credit for all geothermal installations and replacements,” he notes. 

The company is also community oriented, and enjoy giving back. “For the past 10 years, J & J Air has proudly donated a free Trane HVAC system and installation to one or two families each Christmas season. In partnership with Gator 107.9, we invite the community to nominate families in need online and announce the chosen families live on air the week before Christmas!

Additionally, for the past three years, we’ve teamed up with the Myrtle Beach Woman’s Club, which helps provide funds for Christmas presents for these families. It’s a holiday tradition we’re grateful to be a part of, spreading warmth and joy to those in our community!”

J & J Air is also recognized by those both in the industry, and in the community they call home. “We are honored to be recognized as a 2024 Angi Super Service Award member, continuing our streak of excellence from previous years,” Jeremy says. “We’ve been previously chosen by the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce as large business of the year, and have been a Trane Comfort Specialist since 2007. As the highest level of Trane dealer, we are held to a stringent standard of excellence for client service/reviews and technical training.”

The company has moved into a brand new space on Water Tower Road. “Our new space includes a modern showroom, an expanded warehouse, and a dedicated HVAC technician training room. We’re also showcasing our three fully operational WaterFurnace Geothermal HVAC systems and are eager to share the amazingly low utility cost and perfect comfort with both commercial businesses and homeowners. Come visit us and learn how a WaterFurnance Geothermal system can greatly improve your comfort and efficiency!”
