Is Salt Water Conductive?

Pure water is not very conductive, and only a tiny bit of current can move through the water. When salt or sodium chloride (NaCl) is dissolved in it, however, the salt molecules split into two pieces, a sodium ion and a chlorine ion. The sodium ion is missing an electron, which gives it a positive charge. The saltwater bridges the gap between L1 & L2 which may short out and potentially cause a fire. If your system has been flooded, it's important to get it looked at and more than likely will need to be replaced. I spoke to the city yesterday about permits for replacement of the OUTDOOR UNIT only as that's typically what was flooded. AS of now they will not allow for the outdoor unit to be replaced on its own. They want the ENTIRE UNIT changed to be in line with the EPA efficiency standards. This forces folks to replace the Air Handler as well when it wasn't even damaged. Local municipalities are meeting to see what the next step will be regarding this.

GREAT NEWS FOR HOMEOWNERS and others looking to see and have the new buyer retain the manufacturer parts warranty.

HB 481 – General, Building, Residential, Air Conditioning, and Mechanical Contractors

On May 28, 2024, Governor DeSantis signed HB 481 into law. Effective July 1, 2024, the law provides for the following:

• When residential real property that includes a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is conveyed to a new owner on or after July 1, 2024, a manufacturer’s warranty in effect for the system (or a component of the system) is automatically transferred to the new owner and shall continue to be in effect as if the new owner was the original purchaser.
• Warrantors for HVAC systems continue to be obligated under the terms of the original manufacturer’s warranty agreement for warranties transferred under this law and may not charge a fee for the transfer of the warranty. However, the transfer of a warranty does not extend the remaining term of the warranty.
• A manufacturer’s warranty of a HVAC system or component of the system may not be conditioned upon the registration of the product.
o The law removes specific requirements for registration of HVAC systems by contractors licensed under part I of Chapter 489, Florida Statutes.

Additionally, the law requires that:
• The full length of a manufacturer’s, distributor’s, or retailer’s warranty of an HVAC system or any component of a system is effective in this state on the date of installation if the system installed by a contractor licensed under chapter 489, Florida Statutes.
• If a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer provides a product registration card, the registration card must contain the following information:
o The card or form is for the registration of a product.
o Failure to complete and return the card or form does not diminish any warranty rights or decrease the warranty length.
• Any offered manufacturer’s, distributor’s, or retailer’s warranty for an HVAC system or a component of the system may not be in any way conditioned upon the registration of the product.
