We Know St. Clair Shores Like It’s Our Own Home – Because It Is
The location of St. Clair Shores impacts HVAC services in a variety of ways due to the northern location and proximity to a large body of water. Lake St. Clair plays a larger role in proper HVAC installation and maintenance than most people think. The increased winds and humidity cause HVAC systems to need maintenance more often, especially in the neighborhoods closest to the water off of Jefferson Avenue. It is only as you get closer to I-94 on the other side of Little Mack Avenue that the effects of Lake St. Clair begin to disperse. Below, we have listed some of our main takeaways from servicing homes in St. Clair Shores for over 15 years.
Humidity From Lake St. Clair Takes a Toll on Nearby Homes
Winds coming off Lake St. Clair often carry more moisture, causing higher humidity levels in the surrounding areas, and affecting indoor air quality and the efficiency of HVAC systems. For example, air conditioning units may consume more energy and accumulate wear and tear quickly due to the excess moisture that must be removed from the air.
That’s why humidity-resistant air conditioning installation is one of our most popular services.
Moisture and Salt from Lake Winds Accelerate Corrosion Risks
Moisture and salt content in lake winds accelerate the corrosion of HVAC systems, especially the outdoor components. Due to this, we recommend more frequent maintenance checks and the use of robust corrosion-resistant materials and coatings.
This is why we recommend regular AC tune-ups to avoid unnecessary repair costs.
Lake Breezes Impact Cooling Load Variations
Because lake breezes cause lower temperatures, the HVAC system may need to be more adaptable or responsive to outdoor conditions to ensure consistent indoor temperatures and air quality.
That’s why we recommend a local company that understands the sporadic temperatures to manage your AC system. See our AC maintenance page here.
Lake Winds Cause Debris Accumulation
Winds from the lake can carry debris that will clog or damage outdoor HVAC components such as fans and condenser coils. We conduct thorough cleanings with all maintenance jobs to mitigate the effects and ensure efficient system operations.
A regular heating service can mitigate the effects of debris accumulation.
Stronger Winds Have a Negative Impact on Ventilation
Ventilation systems can be negatively impacted by higher amounts of air being forced into the home by the strong winds. These lake winds can also create negative pressures that hurt exhaust systems. System design and installation must be done properly to mitigate these effects.
With our heating maintenance, we ensure your system is properly optimized for wind levels around Saint Clair Shores.
Avoid Direct Wind Exposure
The location and orientation of HVAC installations need to be strategically planned to stop direct wind exposure. We do this by positioning units on the sheltered side of homes or we install protective barriers.
Proper heating installation by a company that understands the local environment is critical to stopping direct wind exposure.
Fluctuating Temperature and Humidity cause Energy Efficiency Concerns
The fluctuating temperature and humidity levels in St. Clair Shores can lead to inconsistent energy usage. We optimize your HVAC system for energy efficiency to cope with these variations without wasting energy.
A cooling repair service from Oasis HVAC can avoid wasting energy.
