Low elevation, salt air and storm surge make Poquoson one of the hardest places in Hampton Roads for HVAC equipment.
Restaurants and commercial kitchens
Local restaurants and seafood businesses depend on refrigeration and ice. We service walk-ins, reach-ins, ice machines and cooking equipment, plus the plumbing and HVAC that keep a kitchen open.
Homes
We install outdoor units on raised stands where flooding is a risk, rinse and protect coils from salt, and service heat pumps, furnaces and water heaters year-round. After a flood event, have equipment inspected before running it.
What Poquoson homeowners should know
Plan for water. Much of Poquoson is only a few feet above sea level. When replacing equipment, raise the outdoor unit and keep electrical disconnects above expected flood levels.
Salt everywhere. Rinse outdoor coils with fresh water every few months, and consider a coastal coating on new equipment.
Crawlspaces. Many homes have crawlspace ductwork that sweats in humid weather. Sealing and insulating ducts keeps the crawlspace drier and the house more comfortable.
