F&G Air Conditioning and Refrigeration | Best HVAC Services in West Palm Beach, FL

In our coastal climate, short cycling is often caused by a combination of issues. A dirty air filter or low refrigerant levels are common culprits, but the high humidity can also cause your system to overwork and trigger safety shut-offs. It's a serious problem that strains components and hikes up your electric bill. Our technicians will perform a comprehensive diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a refrigerant leak, a failing capacitor, or a clogged condenser coil—and provide a lasting repair.

Salt air is relentless along our coast, accelerating rust and corrosion on your condenser's delicate fins and electrical components. We recommend a professional preventative maintenance plan that includes a thorough cleaning with a non-corrosive solution and a careful inspection of all metal parts. During a tune-up, we can apply protective coatings to vulnerable areas and ensure the unit is properly elevated and positioned to minimize direct salt spray exposure, significantly extending its lifespan.

Given our local conditions, we advise bi-annual maintenance. Before the intense summer heat, we'll focus on cleaning the condenser coil of salt and debris, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring the system can handle the cooling demand without short cycling. In the fall, we'll inspect electrical connections for corrosion, clean the indoor coil affected by humidity, and check the heat strips. This proactive, location-specific approach is the best defense against the most common and costly HVAC failures we see here.
