Roof Puncture Prevention Program

Small debris can cut into the roof if the debris is stepped on; large debris will work its way into the roof membrane during the hot months of the year. The water that gets into those penetrations works its way through and into the building.

The roof itself should be examined twice a year and roof debris removed. All small problems like punctures and sealant failures should be addressed at this time to be sure that they are not causing problems that will lead to failure. A roof’s life is finite, but it doesn’t have to be short lived. Some care when using it will maximize its life.

Condenser Coatings


  • Increased efficiency and length of service of HVAC&R systems
  • Reduced maintenance, replacement and operating costs
  • Corrosion protection with complete coverage of metallic surfaces and sharp edges. 
  • Uniform film thickness from the outside fin edges to the deepest and most recessed areas internally. 
  • Flexibility means that bent fins can be straightened with no cracking or flaking of coating.
  • Guaranteed 100% coverage of any fin design, including enhanced fins up to 30 fins per inch, without bridging. 
  • Coil useful life is 3-5 times longer than the life of an uncoated coil in the same location and environment.

Salt Weather Corrosion

In coastal areas, exposure to salt can result in coil damage that shortens the life of the equipment.
Environmental factors, such as airborne vapors from chemical plants and paper mills, cause substantial damage to HVAC coils each year. In coastal areas, however, the main cause of finned coil damage comes from Mother Nature. Naturally occurring atmospheric conditions such as wind and hail from storms and erosion from sand blown in from the beach are contributing factors. But the exposure to salt air in these regions is by far the most destructive component to finned coils.

Compressor Operations

Problems that cause AC compressor failure
  • Too much refrigerant.
  • Low refrigerant charge.
  • Incorrect suction line.
  • Electrical problems.
  • Insufficient oil lubrication.
  • Dirty coils.
  • Contaminants in the system.
  • Blocked evaporator.
