The area
Flour Bluff is part of the City of Corpus Christi, on the Encinal Peninsula between Corpus Christi Bay to the north, Oso Bay to the west and the Laguna Madre to the east. South Padre Island Drive runs through it, dividing what locals call North Bluff and South Bluff. The ground is flat and low, about 13 feet above sea level, and the area has grown into a suburban community of more than 30,000 people, with Naval Air Station Corpus Christi at its northeastern tip.
What it means for heating and cooling
Salt corrosion
With water on three sides and onshore breezes much of the year, salt spray settles on outdoor condenser coils. The aluminum fins corrode and crumble, the copper tubing pits, and screws and electrical terminals rust. A coil that is losing its fins cannot shed heat, and eventually it leaks refrigerant. Regular freshwater rinsing, keeping the unit clear of plants and debris, and coastal coatings or corrosion-resistant coils on new equipment extend its life. See the salt air guide.
Humidity
Bay and lagoon humidity keeps indoor moisture high. The EPA recommends keeping indoor relative humidity below 60 percent (EPA, A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home). Properly sized equipment, the fan on "auto," and sealed return ducts all help. See humidity control.
Low ground and storms
Low-lying lots can take on water in tropical storms. Raising outdoor units on stands, securing them against wind, and having a system checked before running it after flooding are worth considering.
