FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
That afternoon heat in West Palm Beach is no joke. By 2 or 3 PM, your system is under real pressure. If it’s slightly undersized, low on refrigerant, or the airflow isn’t great, it starts losing ground. You’ll notice the house creeping up a few degrees. We usually see this during the hottest stretch of summer. Once we check it under load, the problem tends to show itself pretty quickly.
Yes. Salt air does more damage than people think. Outdoor units near the coast corrode faster, especially coils and electrical connections. It doesn’t always fail overnight, but it shortens the life of the system. Cleaning and regular inspections help a lot, especially in West Palm Beach neighborhoods closer to the Intracoastal.
This happens all the time here. The AC might be running, but if it’s oversized or the airflow isn’t balanced right, it cools too fast and doesn’t remove enough moisture. You end up with that sticky feeling. We look at sizing, coil condition, and airflow before jumping to big conclusions.
Most of the time, yes. The city requires permits and inspections for system replacements. We handle that part. It’s better to do it properly than deal with problems later when you sell the house or need warranty work.
Florida humidity. That’s the short answer. Your system produces a lot of condensation almost year-round. Algae and buildup form inside the drain line, especially if it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. When it backs up, you’ll usually see water near the unit or get a shutoff warning. Regular maintenance keeps that from turning into a bigger mess.
Not as long as up north. Systems here run most of the year, sometimes every day. Ten to fifteen years is common if it’s maintained well. Closer to the coast, sometimes a little less. It really depends on usage and upkeep.
