Service Tip: Log daily indoor humidity with a $20 hygrometer. Call for service when readings stay above 60%—that is the threshold where mold and corrosion accelerate.
Heat Survival Rule: When indoor temps hit 88°F or higher, activate your plan—don’t wait for the system to cool down on its own.
Bill Shock Check: Every 1°F you lower below 78°F adds roughly 6% to your cooling bill.
Fast Inspection: Look for white powder, teal streaks, or rust trails on the condenser. Those streaks equal active corrosion.
Quick Test: Shine a flashlight on the evaporator coil. If it looks slimy or dark, schedule a Hawaii AC mold cleaning immediately.
Island Reality: Shipping, hazmat fees, and limited wholesalers push Hawaii refrigerant pricing 40-60% higher than mainland quotes.
