What makes heat pump repair different in Coastal San Diego?
Coronado, Pacific Beach, and Del Mar repairs often start with salt on the outdoor coil that reduces heat transfer long before a hole is obvious. A recharge without a corrosion inspection can hide a coil that is already failing. The licensed independent HVAC pro should clean and inspect the coil, test for leaks, and say when repair is no longer the honest path.
