Del Toro Heating & Air Conditioning - Kaufman's Professional HVAC Services

Yes, that's a common issue in our area. Refrigerant leaks are a primary cause of reduced cooling capacity. They not only make your system work harder, increasing energy bills, but can also cause long-term damage. Our technicians use specialized tools to locate and safely repair leaks, then recharge your system to its factory-specified level for peak efficiency.

The main sign is your system getting 'stuck' in one mode. You might have heat when you want cooling, or cool air when you need heat. You may also hear a hissing sound. This valve is crucial for switching functions, and issues are common with wear. We can test the valve's operation and perform the necessary repair or replacement to restore proper heating and cooling.

Regular, professional maintenance is your best defense. During a tune-up, we proactively check refrigerant levels and pressures to catch small leaks early. We also inspect critical components like the heat pump reversing valve for proper operation. This preventative care helps avoid major breakdowns, extends your system's life, and keeps it running efficiently, saving you money and hassle in the long run.
