FAQ

Questions about ac repair on longboat key

Yes. A large share of our key work comes through managers and associations, so lockbox entry, gate lists and board approvals are routine. You get a digital invoice with photos for each unit's file, which keeps owner and board reporting simple.

We plan for it. Gulf of Mexico Drive is the only way on, so we batch and time Longboat calls so a drawbridge opening or season traffic does not cost you a day. Morning bookings get the cleanest window.

A low charge or weak airflow drops the coil below freezing, and in a closed unit the ice just keeps building. Switch it to fan-only to thaw before we arrive; the real repair is the charge or airflow fault underneath, not the ice itself.

Yes, end to end. Salt corrodes condenser coils, cabinets and contacts whether a unit faces the Gulf or the bay, so coil cleaning and contact inspection matter more here than inland. We build that into every Longboat visit.
