Questions and Answers
My AC is running but not cooling my Key West home. What's usually the problem?
In our climate, this is often caused by a refrigerant leak or a failing compressor struggling in the extreme heat. Low refrigerant means your system can't absorb indoor heat effectively. We'll perform a precise diagnostic to find the source of the leak, repair it, and recharge your system to factory specifications to restore full cooling power.
Why do refrigerant leaks seem so common here in the Keys?
The salty, humid air in Key West is highly corrosive to the copper lines and connections in your AC system. Over time, this can create pinhole leaks. Our technicians are experts in locating these leaks, even small ones, using electronic detectors and UV dye. We then perform a lasting repair and can discuss protective coatings to help prevent future corrosion.
What's the best way to prevent a breakdown during a Key West heatwave?
Proactive maintenance is key. Before peak season, we recommend a professional tune-up. We'll clean the coils (which get clogged with salt and sand), check refrigerant levels, ensure electrical connections are tight and corrosion-free, and verify the system is operating at peak efficiency. This helps your unit handle the relentless heat without overworking, preventing most emergency failures.
