Coopwoods Air Conditioning | Trusted HVAC Repair in Houston, TX

Yes, a refrigerant leak is a common cause of poor cooling, especially in Houston's demanding climate. We perform a thorough inspection using electronic leak detectors to locate the exact source. Once found, we repair the leak, conduct a pressure test to ensure it's sealed, and then recharge the system to the manufacturer's exact specifications. This restores your unit's efficiency and cooling power, protecting your compressor from damage and lowering your energy bills.

This is a frequent issue due to heat rising and single-thermostat systems struggling with Houston's heat. The solution often involves installing a zoning system. This uses multiple thermostats and motorized dampers in your ducts to control airflow room-by-room. We can create separate zones for your upstairs and downstairs, allowing you to cool each area independently. This eliminates hot spots, improves comfort, and can significantly reduce energy waste by not overcooling unused spaces.

For large homes, proper sizing (load calculation) is critical. An oversized unit will short-cycle, failing to dehumidify properly, while an undersized one will run constantly and never catch up. We perform a Manual J calculation to determine the exact capacity needed for your home's square footage, insulation, and window exposure. We then recommend high-efficiency units with variable-speed compressors that adjust output to match demand, providing superior comfort, humidity control, and long-term energy savings in our climate.
