Post Irma AC Work

By kurthartmann on 10/01/2017 in Air Conditioner Repairs Ft Myers

The past few weeks following Hurricane Irma have been busy for us. Aside from the normal, day to day repairs, services, and scheduled appointments that keep us hopping throughout the year we have also been facing a large number of calls related to Post Irma AC Work. High water and wind have wreaked havoc on many of our loyal clients HVAC equipment, and we have been extremely busy getting their air conditioners back up and running.

Customers in park model homes have really had it tough with post Irma ac work. 90% of park model homes have their ac ducts underneath the flooring, which makes those ducts susceptible to flooding when the water rises. Even if somehow the ac is running, and blowing air, the fact that the air is entering the home by blowing over pooled water in the ducts (or even simply over damp duct material) means it is picking up moisture (humidity) before it even re-enters the home, which means that it will be difficult if not impossible to achieve the desired level of comfort.

Hurricanes Floods Air Conditioners

Fort Myers Estero and Bonita Springs air conditioners have seen a lot of moisture lately. In fact Many have been either partially or totally submerged as a result of recent storms. With hurricane Irma bearing down upon us now there is the likelihood for more of this kind of flooding.

After this kind of exposure to the elements it is extremely important to have your air conditioning equipment looked at by a licensed air conditioning contractor. Exposure to water can knock an air conditioner out of position bending or crimping pipes or other components

Park Model Homes, mobile homes, any home that has the ductwork underneath the floor, certainly needs to be checked as that is a prime place for vegetative growth to thrive, go unoticed, and potentially putting harmful spores into the air. Air quality is a major concern after hurricanes & floods. Air conditioners are perfect breeding grounds for many types of vegetative growths, that once they take root in your home, are very difficult to get out, and can often require a licensed mold remediation specialist.

Community Cooling and Heating can inspect your HVAC equipment make sure that it is functioning properly and safely and creating an environment that is safe for you and your family.

Hurricanes, floods, air conditioners combined with high winds and flying debris, can also create electrical hazards as well!

At Community Cooling we are happy to inspect your equipment, make recommendations as to the options available at that time, and let the homeowner decide which option best suits their needs and budget.

What The News Press Had To Say About Us

TELL MEL ____________________________________________________- tellmel@newspress.com _____________________________________________________- Second opinion needed for AC fix _____________________________________________________ I don't usually do two air conditioning columns in a week, but Monday's column touched a nerve. So I thought I'd pass along some of the stories I've heard from AC company owners who have called. The first story comes courtesy of Kurt Hartmann of Community Cooling in Fort Myers. Hartmann gives free second opinions on other companies repair or replacement estimates. Recently, a woman who lives in a North Fort Myers mobile home park called him after another AC company had come to look at her unit. Several weeks earlier the woman had installed a thermostat and the AC worked fine. But when the weather turned cold, and she tried to get it to heat, the unit wouldn't work. She called a company, which will remain nameless. The technician removed the cover on the thermostat, examined it, and then went to look at the unit. His diagnosis: She needed a new relay and transformer. Total $2,300. Fortunately, the homeowner decided to brave the cold for a day and get a second opinion. Her unit was only six years old and she couldn't believe it needed such an expensive repair. When Hartmann's guy arrived, he too popped the cover off the thermostat. There he saw a switch with two positions for the heat - gas and electric. This thermostat had the switch in the position for gas, but she, like most people in Southwest Florida has an electric unit. When the thermostat was switched to the electric mode, the heater "worked like a champ" Hartmann said.
