Why it matters to you
Salt air and humidity accelerate coil corrosion near the coast, a common source of slow leaks in Lowcountry systems. A system that needs a recharge every summer is leaking, and topping off without a repair keeps costing you.
Practical guidance
Warning signs include warm air from running vents, ice on the refrigerant lines, a hissing sound, and long runtimes. Ask a licensed technician to locate and repair the leak before recharging, and never attempt to open or refill the refrigerant circuit yourself.
