Ft Myers air conditioning units are constantly subject to conditions that enable corrosion to occur within the equipment.  Corrosion is (as pertains to A/C equipment)a chemical reaction between the metal in the unit and the air itself.  Moisture, salt, and other chemicals in the air cause a degradation of the properties in metals the affect their appearance, structural integrity, and permeability!  Ft Myers close proximity to the gulf makes metal equipment of all kinds extremely susceptible  to corrosion.

Ft Myers air conditioning contractors are seeing more problems than ever related to corrosion.  In addition to environmental specifics that lead to corrosion, we have encountered several homes in the Ft Myers area, specifically those built between 2004 - 2006, that have had issues linked to Chinese drywall.  Chinese drywall gives off fumes that contain carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide and dimethyl sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide ... all of which have the potential to create corrosion in air conditioning equipment as well as other systems in a home.

When corrosion infiltrates an ac system, especially in a line that moves coolant from one part of the machine to another it creates the potential for a leak of freon ... or coolant.  Not only will this result in less than satisfactory levels of comfort, but poses a threat to other components of the air conditioner as well!  Air conditioners are designed to operate with a designated type and amount of coolant and without the specific quantity and blend of coolants serious damage can and will occur to the most expensive components in the A/C unit!

If you see corrosion building up on your ac unit it is reasonable to assume there is more that you don't see on the inside.  Regular servicing by a licensed A/C professional is the best way to prevent corrosion from damaging your equipment!
