Air Conditioning & Heating Service
Margate is inland and largely single-storey, and the attics here do the damage. Duct joints that were taped when the house was built have had thirty summers to let go, and the leak shows up as a room that will not cool rather than as anything obviously broken.
Repair, maintenance, installation and replacement, estimate free.
Margate was built out largely between the fifties and the seventies and remains mostly single-family, on lots with room around the house. That last detail is more useful than it sounds: a condenser with space around it, in a yard where we can actually reach all four sides, is a condenser we can service properly.
What we find in Margate is a city full of second- and third-generation equipment sitting on first-generation infrastructure. The pad is original, the disconnect is original, the line set is original, and only the machine on top of them is new. Any one of those can be the reason a new system underperforms.
A common one is the line set. Refrigerant lines that have been reused across two or three replacements carry the oil and the debris of every system that came before, and modern refrigerants are less forgiving of that than the ones they replaced.
Flushing or replacing the line set is not glamorous work and it prevents a category of failure that looks like bad luck.
Twice a year, with a proper coil wash and a check of the electricals. On equipment this age, catching a weak capacitor in spring is worth more than any efficiency tweak.
The housing here is mostly single-family with attic duct work from the fifties through the seventies, and the recurring find is duct board that has been in the roof space long enough to shed at the joints. It is not dramatic and it does not announce itself; it shows up as a house that is dustier than the neighbours and a filter that greys early.
The lots are generous, which means the equipment is reachable and the work is straightforward. We open an access panel and show you what is in there rather than describing it.
We cover repairs, maintenance, refrigerant leak repair, installation and emergency call-outs in Margate.
Thirty summers of loosened joints turn into duct work eventually, and what that runs to in Florida is written out separately.
By looking. We open an access panel or pull a register and show you, because most of what gets sold as a duct cleaning here is sold on a photograph of somebody else's house.
It can be. New equipment moves air differently, and a duct system sized for a 1970s blower will show up as high static pressure long before it shows up as a fault.
Usually, because the whole run is in an unconditioned attic. Air lost there is air you paid to cool and then gave to the roof space.
