Palmetto Cottage
Charleston, South Carolina · humidity, tankless water, and condenser survey
Charleston, South Carolina · humidity, tankless water, and condenser survey
Lowcountry listings expire when buyers cannot tell whether the condenser coils are rinsed, whether the crawl space is conditioned, or whether the tankless water heater was descaled. This 1948 cottage had a kitchen refresh and a tankless unit, then sat through a humid summer without a written maintenance calendar.
Stainless kitchen appliances convey. The washer and dryer live in a hall closet with a flexible vent that should be checked for lint in a coastal climate. Exterior condenser fins collect salt; a survey should note rinse frequency and shade. Termite bonds and crawl-space vapor barriers belong beside appliance notes because they affect the same buyer conversation.
