Heating and cooling repair, new systems and maintenance from the Batts Heating & Air crew Wilmington has known since 2008, plus plumbing, drains and wells. A written price before any work starts, and a 2-hour arrival window.
Heating and cooling, plumbing, drains, wells and commercial service on the Cape Fear coast. Septic and standby generators are handled by our Virginia branches.
Coastal living is hard on heating and cooling systems. Here's what our Wilmington crew sees most, and what helps.
Salt can travel as far as two miles inland, and manufacturers like Carrier warn it can corrode outdoor coils until they leak refrigerant. Have the coil and cabinet checked for buildup and corrosion at every tune-up, and use stainless or galvanized anchors near the water.
Wilmington's average humidity is 74%, and closer to 80% in July and August. Your AC has to pull moisture out of the air, not just cool it. Heat pumps do much of that work in North Carolina, where 38% of homes use one as their main heat. Sizing, clean coils and clear condensate drains all matter.
Hurricane Florence dropped 23 inches of rain on Wilmington in 2018, a city record. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends raising outdoor units at least a foot above flood level. After a storm, don't run a unit that sat in floodwater until a technician has checked it.
