Salt and your air conditioning
Salt corrosion is a common site around Redcliffe and Caboolture, we see it all the time on bikes, cars and buildings, anything exposed to the air for a length of time. Corrosion is especially hard on air conditioner parts. Outdoor condensers, compressors, coils, ducting and motors etc can deteriorate quickly in the sea air and significantly reduce the life of your air con resulting in costly replacements.
The salt air also allows moisture build up to accumulate on the AC coil reducing the thermal transfer, which will decrease the efficiency of the air con making it work harder and increasing your power bill.
Care for your air conditioner
The best way to stay ahead of salt corrosion is to carry out regular cleaning and have your system routinely professionally serviced.
To prevent salt build up -
- Regularly change your filters.
- Ensure your outdoor unit is clear of debris, obstructions or garden growth.
- Wash down coils
- Schedule regular servicing - an experienced air conditioning technician knows where the corrosion can occur inside the air conditioner.
