Saint Petersburg HVAC FAQ
My St. Pete AC was flooded. Can it be saved?
Sometimes, but saltwater flooding often ruins electrical parts and the compressor. Don't run it; have it inspected first.
Should my new AC be raised?
In flood-prone areas, yes. Raising the condenser on a platform reduces the risk of future flood damage.
