Proper AC Maintenance Reduces Risk Of Fire

Air Conditioning Service in Fort Myers, Florida

Air conditioning units are complex configurations of a multitude of component parts, wiring circuits, and mechanical and structural parts that work together to remove moisture from your home or business and maintain an expected level of comfort.  Far too often we take our AC units for granted and seek out the help of an air conditioning contractor only after we experience a problem.  What many do not realize is that by not inspecting and maintaining our equipment regularly we are not only taking a chance on turning a small problem into a major repair issue ... we are also exposing ourselves, our property, and our families to the risk of fire!

The heat, humidity, rain, and constant use of our air conditioners in Florida during the summer months creates an environment that can lead to several types of electrical problems in your AC unit.  Rust, corrosion, and dried or cracked wire housing's are common in SW Florida, left unchecked and without repair they can lead to unnecessary replacement of wiring circuits as well as the potential for a fire in your home or on your property.  Here are a few pictures of faulty/damaged wiring we found during a routine inspection of local Fort Myers air conditioners that were running properly and cooling effectively at the time we found them!

 Without repair this would certainly have resulted in a fire that would have required the purchase of additional parts and labor ... finding it early all we had to replace was the wire.

This burned housing had the potential to create a dangerous fire!

 A yearly inspection by a licensed air conditioning contractor will greatly reduce the chances of faulty/damaged electrical wiring posing a threat to your equipment, homes, and lives.
