As the CAREM period approaches in Martinique, many households and professionals are beginning to prepare their indoor environments. This period, often marked by higher temperatures and increased humidity, naturally puts air conditioning back at the center of everyday comfort. Mais sous climat tropical, posséder une climatisation ne suffit pas : encore faut-il l’entretenir correctement.
CAREM, a key time to prepare for intense heat
In Martinique, CAREM marks an important climate transition. Temperatures gradually rise, the air becomes heavier, and air conditioning systems are used more frequently.
It is also a time when many units—sometimes rarely used in previous months are switched back on. Without prior maintenance, this can lead to: • reduced performance • increased electricity consumption • degraded indoor air quality • even avoidable breakdowns
In a region exposed to humidity and salty sea air, air conditioning units quickly accumulate dust, bacteria, and salt residue. A simple surface cleaning is usually not enough.
Air Conditioning maintenance : A simple action with Long-Term benefits
Having your air conditioning system serviced primarily helps preserve your comfort—but that’s not all. Regular maintenance also helps to: • improve indoor air quality • extend the lifespan of the unit • maintain optimal energy efficiency • reduce the risk of unpleasant odors or allergens
In practical terms, this includes cleaning the filters, checking indoor and outdoor units, inspecting drainage systems, and performing an overall system assessment.
In a climate like Martinique’s, this maintenance is recommended at least once a year—ideally before the hottest periods.
Local expertise adapted to the tropical climate
Among the specialists in this field is Le Froid Split Clim, also known as SplitClim. This air conditioning expert company based in Martinique serves both private homeowners and commercial premises.
Its approach is built on in-depth knowledge of local constraints: constant humidity, corrosion caused by salty sea air, and intensive use of equipment. The maintenance provided goes beyond simple cleaning, focusing instead on prevention and long-term performance.
As CAREM approaches, this type of service helps you enter the hot season with greater peace of mind, ensuring your system is ready to operate under optimal conditions.
Living better with the heat, Naturally
In Martinique, air conditioning is part of everyday life. However, it benefits from being integrated into a broader vision of well-being: proper home ventilation, sun protection, natural air circulation… and regular equipment maintenance.
Anticipating CAREM also means taking the time to ensure your indoor space remains healthy and comfortable despite rising temperatures.
At Airlocal Martinique, we highlight these simple everyday actions that help people live better in the tropics — by promoting local expertise and solutions tailored to our environment.
