Air Conditioning & Heating

Startex summers are hot and humid, and Upstate SC winters test any heating system.

We service all major brands and offer same-day appointments for emergencies.

Plumbing Services

From leaky faucets and clogged drains to water heater installation, tankless water heater service, sewer line repair, and whole-house repiping — Waldrop’s licensed plumbers handle it all. We use video camera inspection and thermal imaging to diagnose issues accurately before we start work.

Electrical Services

Our licensed electricians provide panel upgrades, circuit breaker repair, outlet and wiring installation, EV charger setup, whole-home surge protection, ceiling fan and lighting installation, and full electrical inspections. Startex’s older mill-era homes and newer properties each have unique electrical needs — our team is trained for both.

AlexV was exceptional! Professional, polite and very detail oriented. He did a wonderful job putting up our chandelier and entrance light. I had no idea how much work went into this job. When I was quoted I was taken back by the price. Now I understand why. Will definitely be asking for AlexV to come back for other electrical work down the line.
