Doug Jenkins was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and kept us well informed about what he was finding and the costs associated with fixing the issues. He did a great job of getting us back up and running. Your company is fortunate to have such a great employee! Definitely will recommend!

Devin arrived on time and got straight to work after conferring with me what the problem was. He was thorough knowledgeable and pleasant. I would highly recommend Salt Air for any HVAC needs you may have.
Carson H.
The team from Salter Air & Heating did an amazing job. They found a very simple fix for one of our issues and saved us hundreds of dollars by solving a straightforward wiring problem instead of pushing us to replace an entire unit. That level of honesty and integrity really stood out and made us feel great about trusting their team

Daniel was very professional! He was polite and explained everything in detail so we could understand what was going on. He was able to get the parts we needed to fix the problem. They were delivered to our house the same day and Daniel got everything done in a timely manner, with no issues

We are very satisfied with the install of our new HVAC by salt air techs Jesse and Jared. They both were very professional and friendly and got the job done in time, followed up with any concern we had and made it all work. There price was reasonable too. Thank you.

Wow! John Ross was here yesterday to give me an estimate on a replacement HVAC system for my home and he also looked at my current system. What a complete inspection he gave. I’ve never had anybody give as thorough a going over for any of my home improvement projects -and I’ve had a lot over the decades.
Lauren B.
We recently had a service upgrade (including circuit panel and breakers), and a sub panel installed in the garage, as well as an additional line installed in the kitchen. Our technician, John Cutler was amazing! He explained all the processes thoroughly and did impeccable work.
Dale P.B.
Our experience with Technician Doug Jenkins was very positive! He diagnosed the issue with our air handler and remedied the problem in a very timely manner. He advised us of the proper air vents to use to keep the system functioning properly. Thanks Salt Air.
Kathy A.
Our technician Dustin was very personable and professional. He called and told me about what time he would arrive. We were his last appointment of the day and it was about 5 pm when he arrived. He arrived with a smile on his face. He did a thorough job of servicing our systems.

How to Tell If Your AC Needs Repair

Air conditioners rarely break down all at once. Most of the time, they give you warning signs before things get worse. Knowing what to look for can help you catch a problem early and avoid a more expensive fix down the road.

Signs your AC may need repair

If your AC is showing any of these signs, it is worth having a technician take a look before the problem gets worse.

What Usually Causes AC Problems

Most AC issues come down to a handful of common culprits. Understanding what tends to go wrong can help put your mind at ease and give you a better sense of what to expect during a service call.

Frequent causes of AC problems include

In Wilmington, the coastal climate adds an extra layer of wear on AC systems. High humidity and salt air accelerate corrosion on coils, electrical connections, and other components, especially in outdoor units. Regular maintenance goes a long way here, but when something does go wrong, our team knows exactly where to look.

What to Expect When You Call Us

We want every service call to feel straightforward and stress-free. Here is how the process works when you reach out to Salt Air

From the first call to the time we leave your driveway, our goal is to make the whole experience as easy as possible for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an AC repair typically take?

Most repairs can be completed in a single visit, usually within one to three hours depending on the issue. If a part needs to be ordered, we will let you know upfront and work to get it resolved as quickly as possible.

It depends on the age of the system and the cost of the repair. A good rule of thumb is that if the repair costs more than half the price of a new unit and your system is over ten years old, replacement may make more sense. We will give you an honest recommendation either way.

This is often caused by low refrigerant, a dirty filter, a frozen coil, or a failing compressor. A technician can pinpoint the exact cause and let you know what it will take to fix it.

High humidity makes your AC work harder because it has to remove moisture from the air in addition to lowering the temperature. Over time, this extra strain can wear components down faster. Keeping up with maintenance and making sure your system is properly sized for your home helps a lot.

We recommend having your system tuned up at least once a year, ideally in the spring before the heat sets in. Regular maintenance helps catch small issues before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems.
