AC Repair in Keansburg, NJ
Keansburg started as a summer escape for New Yorkers who came over by boat, and the town still sits right on Raritan Bay. Hurricane Donna wiped out much of the waterfront in 1960, and Sandy pushed about three feet of sand into the amusement park in 2012. If your Keansburg AC has stopped working, call (732) 858-0915.
Salt, sand and flood water
Much of Keansburg sits within a few blocks of the water. Spray and blowing sand wear down coil fins, cabinets and electrical parts, and units that sit on the ground are exposed every time a storm floods the streets.
- Coils with fins that crumble when touched
- Rusted disconnect boxes and corroded wire connections
- Units that went under in a storm and were never checked
- Small lots where the outdoor unit sits tight against the house
Raising the outdoor unit
After Donna, the borough spent $7.9 million in 1969 on a hurricane protection plan that built up the beaches. Homeowners can protect their own equipment by putting the condenser on a raised platform or wall bracket above the base flood elevation. When a unit needs replacing anyway, that is the time to move it up.
Call any hour to reach a local contractor.

- My outdoor unit got wet in a storm. Is it ruined?
- Not always. A contractor can test the wiring and motors and flush the coil. Do not run it until someone has looked.
- Do coated coils help near the bay?
- Coastal coatings slow corrosion. They cost extra but often pay off for a unit within a few blocks of the water.
