Questions and Answers

As a San Diego homeowner, I'm worried about coastal corrosion on my AC unit's outdoor coil. Can you help?

Absolutely. Coastal salt air in San Diego is a common cause of condenser coil corrosion and refrigerant leaks. With my 20+ years managing HVAC systems for large local facilities, I'm very familiar with this issue. I can perform a thorough inspection to assess corrosion, clean coils with appropriate solutions to prevent further damage, and seal any minor leaks. For significant corrosion or leaks, I provide clear repair options or replacement recommendations using corrosion-resistant components better suited for our coastal climate, helping to extend your system's lifespan.

My circuit breaker keeps tripping. Is this an urgent electrical repair in San Diego?

A frequently tripping breaker is a safety system alerting you to an issue, such as an overloaded circuit, a short, or a faulty appliance. It should be addressed promptly to prevent potential fire hazards or damage to your home's wiring. With my certifications and experience as a former facilities head, I can safely diagnose the root cause—whether it's at the breaker panel, in your home's wiring, or with a specific appliance—and perform the necessary repair or panel upgrade to restore safe, reliable power to your home.

You have a long history in large facilities. Does that experience apply to smaller residential plumbing jobs?

Yes, completely. Managing the plumbing for an entire university campus taught me to diagnose problems efficiently and understand how systems work from the main line to the fixture. Whether it's a persistent drain clog, a leaking pipe, or a garbage disposal installation, I apply the same systematic, detail-oriented approach. My goal is to fix the immediate issue correctly and advise on any potential future concerns, ensuring a reliable, long-term solution for your home.
