Air conditioning maintenance on the north coast
On Puerto Rico's north coast, salt air corrodes aluminium fins and the copper in the outdoor unit faster than anywhere inland. Maintenance here does not follow a generic manual's calendar.
Every 6 months, not every year
Waiting a year lets corrosion shorten the life of your equipment. We do a deep service every 6 months to clear accumulated salt and keep the compressor from running strained.
What the service covers
- Deep cleaning of the coil and filters to restore airflow.
- Clearing salt buildup from the outdoor unit.
- Checking the surge protector.
- Checking the refrigerant charge so an inverter unit recovers efficiency without burning extra power.
- Cleaning the work area before we leave.
Why it shows up on your power bill
A clogged coil forces the compressor to work harder: the unit cools less and draws more. Maintenance is not cosmetic — it is what keeps consumption where it should be.
