AC Repair in Palm City

Palm City is a well-established Martin County community with a mix of gated golf communities, waterfront estates, and family subdivisions built primarily from the 1980s onward. It sits west of Stuart along the South Fork of the St. Lucie River. It's a commuter community for people working in Stuart and Port St. Lucie. Homes here tend to be larger and better maintained than the county average.

When your AC quits in Port St. Lucie, the house hits 85 degrees before noon. This area sits inland from the coast where afternoon humidity stays brutal from May through October, and most homes in the Tradition and St. James City corridors are running systems that are 10 to 15 years old. That age, combined with the hard water from the local aquifer eating through copper lines and drain pans, is why AC calls here run higher than most of Florida.

We pull the unit apart, check the refrigerant charge with gauges, inspect the evaporator coil and drain line, and test the capacitor and contactor before we tell you what's wrong. Too many contractors in this area skip the coil inspection and just top off the refrigerant — that's a short fix on a leaking system, and it puts you right back in the heat in six months.
