Experienced HVAC Repair in Wichita Falls, TX 76302 - A R Air Conditioning & Heating

Yes, refrigerant leaks are a frequent cause of reduced cooling capacity in our area, especially during our hot summers. At A R Air Conditioning & Heating, we start with electronic leak detection to pinpoint the exact location. We then repair the leak, perform a system evacuation to remove moisture and air, and recharge the refrigerant to the precise level specified by the manufacturer. This ensures your system runs efficiently and prevents further damage to the compressor.

Not always. In Wichita Falls, coil freeze-ups are often caused by issues like dirty air filters blocking airflow, a failing blower motor, or low refrigerant levels. Our repair service involves a thorough diagnosis to identify the root cause. We typically clean the coil and system, check refrigerant charge, and test all components. Often, a targeted repair is all that's needed to resolve the freeze-up and restore proper operation, saving you from an unnecessary replacement.

We recommend considering replacement if your system is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs (especially for refrigerant leaks), or your energy bills are climbing steadily. For older systems with recurring issues like coil freeze-ups, a new, high-efficiency installation can be more cost-effective in the long run. We provide honest assessments and will only recommend replacement if it truly benefits your comfort and wallet, offering modern systems better suited to handle our local climate.
