“In coastal environments like Florida where the heat, sand and salt can have a detrimental impact on HVAC/R systems, our customers want the coil-corrosion protection that extends the service life of their system,” indicates Ken Connell, President of Gemaire Distributors. “When they need a new unit though, they don’t want to wait. By stocking our most popular units with the coil protection already applied, now they don’t have to.”
“Given a choice at the point of sale between a coated or uncoated unit, we are confident Advanced Cooling and Heating customers will see the value of our coating and we hope to expand the sales of this product to other coastal sale service locations,” said Erik Bryson, president of Advanced Cooling and Heating Inc.
Branded “Seacoast Coating” protection by Gemaire, Luvata Insitu® is a water-based, synthetic flexible polymer coating, engineered specifically to extend the lives of HVAC/R heat transfer coils and components. With excellent resistance to moisture, corrosion, ultraviolet rays and high temperatures, the spray-applied coating maintains operating efficiency while reducing maintenance and operating costs and comes with a five year warranty.
Luvata offers two proven protective coatings for HVACR equipment – ElectroFin® E-coat and Luvata Insitu.
Insitu is spray-applied to equipment on location, whereas ElectroFin E-Coat is a factory-applied, full-immersion solution. Both are recognized internationally by HVACR equipment manufacturers as the best corrosion protection coatings for coastal environments.
The AC Units pictured above are from a recent project in Harbour Isles, West Palm Beach.
For this project all outdoor units were coated with luvata insitu coating for coastal environment. For this AC Repair project we removed two 4-ton Trane systems and one 3-ton Trane split system and replaced them with two 4-ton 16 Seer Rheem systems and one 3-ton Rheem system.
If you live by the ocean, don’t hesitate to extend the life of your units and protect your investment, luvata seacoast coating is an excellent complement to your unit, at relatively low cost.
