What Caused My Attic to Overheat in Galveston?

The Problem

The homeowner noticed that their attic was unusually warm, making the rest of the house uncomfortable.

What We Found

Matthew discovered that the attic door was not properly insulated, allowing heat to seep into the living spaces.

The Fix

Matthew installed an attic door tent to improve insulation and prevent heat from entering the home through the attic access. This simple yet effective solution helped maintain a more consistent temperature throughout the house.

The Result

The installation of the attic door tent resulted in a cooler and more comfortable home environment.

Pro Tip

An attic door tent can significantly reduce heat transfer from your attic. If your home feels warmer than usual, especially in upper floors, consider installing one to improve energy efficiency.

Secondary Float Switch Issue in Galveston Commercial Property

The Problem

A commercial property in Galveston was experiencing issues with their HVAC system, causing concern about potential water damage.

What We Found

Adrian discovered that the secondary float switch was malfunctioning, which could lead to overflow and damage.

The Fix

Adrian carefully inspected the secondary float switch and identified a blockage that was preventing it from functioning properly. He cleared the obstruction and tested the switch to ensure it was operational and could effectively prevent overflow.

The Result

With the float switch functioning correctly, the risk of water damage was mitigated, and the HVAC system was back to normal operation.

Pro Tip

If your HVAC system has a secondary float switch, ensure the drain lines are clear of debris. A blocked line can prevent the switch from activating, risking overflow and potential water damage.

The Fix

Merrik thoroughly cleaned the condenser coils, removing all dirt and debris. He also checked the refrigerant levels to ensure they were optimal and inspected the entire system for any other potential issues.

The Result

After the cleaning and inspection, the AC unit was able to cool the home efficiently, providing relief from the heat.

Local conditions

Why quality hvac maintenance matters in Galveston

Salt Air Corrosion

Galveston Island's direct ocean exposure means HVAC outdoor units face constant salt spray that corrodes condenser coils, electrical connections, and cabinet panels far faster than inland locations. Coastal-rated equipment and frequent cleaning are essential.

Extreme Humidity

Galveston's humidity regularly exceeds 80%, forcing AC systems to handle heavy moisture removal alongside cooling. Without proper dehumidification, homes experience clammy air, mold growth, and premature equipment wear.

Hurricane & Storm Exposure

Galveston's island location makes HVAC systems vulnerable to hurricane-force winds, storm surge, and power surges. Proper equipment anchoring, surge protection, and post-storm inspections are critical for system longevity.

Year-Round Cooling Demand

Galveston's mild winters and long, hot summers mean AC systems run 8-9 months per year — significantly more than inland areas. This extended runtime accelerates wear on compressors, fans, and electrical components, making proactive maintenance essential.

FAQ

HVAC Maintenance in Galveston: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Galveston.

How often should I service my HVAC system in Galveston?

In Galveston, we recommend twice-yearly maintenance: once in spring before AC season and once in fall before heating season. However, the salt air means condenser coil cleaning should happen quarterly for units within a mile of the beach to prevent corrosion buildup.

What maintenance is unique to Galveston HVAC systems?

Coastal HVAC maintenance includes anti-corrosion coil treatment, salt residue cleaning, condensate drain flush (critical in our humidity), electrical connection inspection for salt damage, and hurricane preparedness checks. These steps can double the lifespan of your Galveston HVAC system.

Does Coastal Eco offer maintenance plans for Galveston homeowners?

Yes, our Coastal Protection Plan is designed specifically for island properties. It includes bi-annual tune-ups, priority scheduling during summer emergencies, quarterly coil cleanings, and a corrosion warranty — all essential for Galveston systems exposed to salt air year-round.
