Air Conditioning in Rhode Island: what's different

Cooling seasons are shorter in cold climates, but summer heat waves still bring urgent AC calls, often for systems that sat unused all winter. Spring start-up checks catch failed capacitors, low refrigerant and blocked drains.
Rhode Island has cold winters and warm, humid summers moderated by the ocean. Older homes and triple-deckers are common, and coastal homes face storm and salt exposure.
Rhode Island licenses pipefitters and refrigeration technicians through the Department of Labor and Training, and contractors register with the Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board. Common systems in Rhode Island: Gas and oil boilers, Ductless heat pumps, Gas furnaces, Central AC.
