How this visit actually goes
The same order every time, so nothing is opened and nothing is charged before you have seen the figure and said yes.
-
01
Read the temperatures first
A cabinet running a few degrees warm and a condenser packed with dust look identical from the front. The readings say which conversation we are having.
-
02
Coil cleaned, properly
Cleared and cleaned rather than brushed at the front, because a condenser that only looks clean carries on shortening the life of everything behind it.
-
03
Fan motors measured
A fan motor running out of range moves less air every month. It is measured, not eyeballed, and replaced while the grille is already off.
-
04
Corrosion, if you are near the water
Salt reaches coils and fan motors years ahead of schedule on the coast. If that is what we find, you are told what it means for the next season, not sold a part.

Condenser fan and coil service cost
The job we are called out for most in South Florida. Heat and coastal salt air clog and corrode condensers years ahead of schedule, and the work ranges from a clean to a motor.
- A clean costs a fraction of a motor replacement
- Corroded coils near the water can push it higher
- Cabinetry decides how much of the unit has to come apart

About Sub-Zero condenser fan and coil service
The most common job we do in South Florida
Year-round heat and coastal salt air clog and corrode condensers years ahead of the schedule written for a dry climate. A condenser that cannot shed heat makes the compressor work longer for the same result, so what starts as a cleaning question becomes a sealed system question if it is left long enough.
Cleaning, fan motor, or coil
- A clean costs a fraction of a motor replacement, and often restores temperature on its own
- Fan motors running out of range are the next most common finding
- Corroded coils near the water can push the job higher
- How much of the unit has to come apart depends on the cabinetry, not on the part
Prevention is not a slogan here
In this climate condenser cleaning is seasonal rather than annual, particularly within a few blocks of the water and on outdoor units. It is the cheapest hour anyone spends on built-in refrigeration, and it is how most of the expensive repairs get avoided.

Before you book
Questions about Sub-Zero condenser fan and coil service
How often should this be done in South Florida?
Seasonally rather than annually, and more often within a few blocks of the water. Year-round heat and salt air clog and corrode condensers years ahead of the schedule written for a dry climate.
Is this a cleaning or a part?
It can be either, which is why the figure is a range. A clean costs a fraction of a fan motor, and corroded coils near the water can push it higher.
Can I just vacuum the coil myself?
You can clear what is reachable through the grille, and it is worth doing. What you cannot do from outside is check that the fan is running in range or that the coil is not corroded behind the visible face.
