The contractor should use a cleaner rated for salt residue, inspect fasteners, and check line-set insulation that UV and salt have cooked.

How often should a heat pump be serviced in San Diego?
ENERGY STAR points homeowners to manufacturer-directed filter, coil, and outdoor-unit care, and many contractors schedule a cooling check in spring and a heating check in fall. Coastal salt air can foul coils faster, so ask the contractor what interval they recommend for your address. Heat Pro SD does not set a twice-yearly coastal rule.
Will skipping maintenance void my warranty?
