Gauntlet Enterprises - Santa Cruz's Trusted HVAC Services

Coastal salt air and regular use can cause coil corrosion and refrigerant issues, reducing your heat pump's efficiency. Gauntlet Enterprises performs specialized diagnostics to pinpoint the exact cause, followed by thorough cleaning, coil protection treatments, and precise refrigerant charge adjustments to restore peak performance and lower your energy bills.

First, check your air filter and ensure outdoor condenser coils are clear of debris—common issues here with pollen and sea mist. If that doesn't help, it could be a refrigerant leak or a failing component. Gauntlet offers comprehensive AC performance evaluations to quickly diagnose the problem and provide a reliable, lasting repair to get your cool air back.

Given our environment, we recommend bi-annual maintenance. In spring, we focus on AC coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, and electrical component inspection. In fall, we service heat pumps, check defrost cycles, and ensure systems are sealed against moisture. This proactive care from Gauntlet Enterprises prevents efficiency loss and major breakdowns, extending your system's life.
