Air Conditioning in Santa Monica: what's different
Air Conditioning work in Santa Monica follows the local climate. Mixed climates get real summers and real winters, so the AC has a full season of work and then sits idle. Spring start-up problems such as weak capacitors, low charge and clogged drains are common.
A common Santa Monica pattern: salt air. Outdoor units near the beach corrode faster.
The air conditioning services Santa Monica homeowners ask for most are coil Cleaning. Dust, cottonwood fluff and grease cleaned from condenser and evaporator coils.
The City of Santa Monica Building and Safety Division issues mechanical permits, and the city's green building rules encourage all-electric systems. California requires C-20 licensed contractors.
