Salt Air & Coastal Corrosion: Protecting Appliances Near the Water

How Salt Air Affects Appliances

Homes near the water — Folly Beach, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, Kiawah, and Seabrook — expose appliances to salt-laden air that accelerates corrosion on metal components.

Vulnerable Components

Control boards, screws and hinges, and condenser coils are the parts most affected by salt air exposure over time.

Protecting Beachfront Appliances

Regular wipe-downs, keeping units away from open windows facing the ocean when possible, and more frequent coil cleaning all help extend appliance life near the coast.
