Cognetti's Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning - Williamsburg's Qualified HVAC Repair

A thorough plumbing inspection checks the condensate drain lines and pans connected to your HVAC system. In our humid climate, these lines can clog with algae, causing water damage or system shutdowns. By clearing these drains during an inspection, we help prevent a common issue that strains aging HVAC equipment and can lead to more significant failures.

Yes, refrigerant leaks are a frequent issue with aging systems in our area, leading to poor cooling and higher energy use. We recommend scheduling a service call. Our technicians will perform a leak detection test and pressure check. If a leak is found, we'll discuss repair options or, if the system is very old, the benefits of a more efficient replacement to save on long-term costs.

Key signs include rising energy bills, uneven cooling, strange noises (like hissing, which may indicate a refrigerant leak), frequent cycling, and reduced airflow. Don't wait for a complete breakdown, especially during our hot summers. Our inspection can diagnose these issues early, whether it's a simple fix or a discussion about a planned replacement to avoid emergency discomfort.
