Dead River Co. - Southwest Harbor's Expert HVAC Repair

Our HVAC installations are specifically calibrated for our local climate. We ensure proper refrigerant charge, airflow, and defrost cycle settings to minimize ice formation on the outdoor coil. Proper installation prevents the system from overworking, which is a primary cause of ice buildup in our colder, damp conditions.

Absolutely. We clear clogged drains and repair any damaged piping. To prevent recurrence—a frequent issue here due to our humidity—we can install an auxiliary drain pan, a safety float switch, or recommend routine maintenance that includes cleaning the drain line to keep moisture flowing properly out of your home.

First, turn the system to 'fan only' mode to let it thaw. Never chip away at the ice. Then, call us. Ice often signals issues like low refrigerant, dirty coils, or airflow problems—all of which our technicians are expert at diagnosing and repairing to prevent further damage to your compressor.
