Our Specialized Experience Serving Residents of Saint Clair Shores
Saint Clair Shores is located on the beautiful shores of Lake St. Clair, and this waterfront location adds some twists to proper HVAC repair. We’ve dedicated this page to the special considerations residents of Saint Clair Shores should pay attention to with AC repair.
AC Components May Corrode Due to Humid Air
The proximity to Lake St Clair means residents should be careful that their AC components do not corrode. We often visit homes with accelerated corrosion due to the humid air, and we recommend replacing any parts with signs of corrosion, such as coils or external housings, as quickly as possible.
Condensate Drain Lines Will Experience Frequent Blockages
High humidity environments such as in Saint Clair Shores will increase condensation, which leads to frequent blockages in the condensate drain lines. If these are not cleared during a repair service, permanent damage could be caused to the AC system.
Components May Malfunction Due to Humidity
High humidity levels common around bodies of water can lead to electrical and mechanical component malfunctions. Our repair services focus on checking and replacing sensitive components such as capacitors, which are prone to failure in such conditions.
Thermostats Must be Properly Calibrated for Humidity Control
If the thermostat is not calibrated properly given the humidity, the AC system will not cool effectively without overworking itself, which drives up energy and maintenance costs along with shortening the system lifespan. In our repair work, we examine if the thermostat needs to be recalibrated or replaced with a better model. In our experience, updating the thermostat will save money for 84% of Saint Clair Shores households.
Ductwork May be Prone to Insulation Issues
If the ductwork in the home is not properly sealed and insulated, repairs must be made to stop condensation and energy loss. Condensation can cause long-term damage to the ductwork if not handled quickly, which is why repair is crucial for homeowners in Saint Clair Shores, who may experience quicker ductwork deterioration due to the lake.
Air Filters are Prone To Faster Clogging
High levels of airborne particles and allergens can clog air filters more quickly. With all repair services, we ensure your air filters are not straining the system and air quality is being maintained inside of the home.
Corrosion May Cause Refrigerant Leaks
One common side effect of corrosion in Saint Clair Shores is refrigerant leaks. We ensure that leaks are properly checked for, repaired, and the refrigerant is recharged to proper manufacturer specifications.
Airflow is Optimized for Efficient Cooling
Given the climate challenges around Saint Clair Shores, obstructions or malfunctioning blower fans must be checked for thoroughly. If these are not maintained, efficient cooling performance will drop drastically.
