Engineered for Barrier-Island Salt Air, Flood Codes & Vacation Rentals
Standard inland AC equipment simply doesn't survive on Sanibel Island (33957), Captiva (33924), or Estero Island / Fort Myers Beach (33931). Direct Gulf and bay salt mist corrodes unprotected condenser coils in as little as 3 to 5 years, while coastal building codes require elevated condenser platforms, hurricane tie-downs, and strict humidity control.
When you call (239) 332-0582, you never get an automated voicemail tree. A real person answers 24/7, states our diagnostic fee upfront on the phone, and dispatches a licensed Air Today technician (FL License CAC1815431).

Frequently asked questions in Sanibel, Captiva & Fort Myers Beach, FL
How do you protect outdoor AC units from salt-air corrosion on Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach?
Salt crystals carried by Gulf breezes settle on aluminum condenser fins and trap moisture, causing galvanic corrosion that destroys heat transfer. We combat this in three ways: (1) installing coastal-spec equipment or factory-applied corrosion coatings, (2) using stainless hardware and sealed electrical connections, and (3) performing deep freshwater coil cleanings twice a year under our Comfort Club plan.
Can you install an AC condenser on an elevated stand or high wall bracket to meet flood codes?
Yes. As you can see in our jobsite photos on this page, we routinely install condensers on elevated pressure-treated wood stands, aluminum platforms, and two-story wall brackets above FEMA Base Flood Elevation, complete with City of Sanibel, Town of Fort Myers Beach, or Lee County permits (#CAC1815431).
Do you respond to emergency calls for Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach vacation rentals?
Yes. Call (239) 332-0582—a live person answers 24/7. We work directly with island homeowners, property managers, and rental hosts to coordinate guest access, diagnose the system fast, and provide photo documentation and invoices by email.
How often should a barrier-island AC unit be serviced?
At minimum twice a year—ideally in spring before peak cooling season and in fall—plus periodic gentle freshwater rinsing of the outdoor condenser coil to remove salt buildup. New Comfort Club members get $100 off their first year ($300/yr instead of $400/yr) through December 31, 2026.
Do you install ductless mini-splits on Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach?
Yes. Ductless mini-split heat pumps are ideal for elevated island homes, renovated rooms without ductwork, sunrooms, and garage/workshop spaces.
