Jerry's Heating Service | Professional HVAC Repair in Woodbridge, NJ

Yes, a refrigerant leak is a common cause of poor cooling, especially in older systems. Our technicians use advanced electronic leak detectors to pinpoint the exact location of the leak quickly and accurately. Once found, we repair the leak according to manufacturer specifications, perform a vacuum test to ensure the system is sealed, and then recharge it with the precise, EPA-approved refrigerant type and amount. This restores your system's efficiency and cooling power while preventing further environmental harm and damage to the compressor.

In our area, corrosion is often accelerated by road salt spray in winter, high humidity, and proximity to the coast. We combat this by performing a detailed cleaning of the coil fins to remove corrosive debris during every maintenance visit. For added protection, we can apply a safe, non-toxic coil coating that creates a barrier against salt and moisture. We also recommend simple steps like rinsing the unit with a garden hose (when off) after winter and ensuring proper drainage to significantly extend your condenser's lifespan.

Absolutely. Our preventative maintenance plans are designed specifically for Woodbridge homes. Each visit includes a comprehensive check of refrigerant levels and pressure to catch small leaks early, a thorough cleaning of the indoor evaporator and outdoor condenser coils to prevent corrosion and maintain efficiency, and an inspection of all electrical and mechanical components. Regular maintenance is the most effective way to avoid major breakdowns, improve energy efficiency, and protect your investment from our local environmental challenges.
