Kemppel Heating and Cooling | HVAC Services in Akron, OH 44333

Yes, a refrigerant leak is a common culprit, especially in older Akron homes. We'll first perform a precise leak detection test to locate the source. Our repair involves sealing the leak, evacuating the system to remove moisture and air, and then recharging it with the correct amount of refrigerant per manufacturer specifications. This restores efficient cooling and prevents further damage to your compressor.

Short cycling is often caused by an oversized unit, a dirty air filter restricting airflow, or a faulty sensor like the flame sensor or thermostat. For Akron homeowners, we start by checking these simple issues. If needed, we perform a full system evaluation to identify the root cause, which could be improper sizing from a previous installation, and recommend a lasting solution to protect your equipment and improve comfort.

We recommend bi-annual maintenance—once in spring for your AC and once in fall for your furnace. Our Akron-specific tune-up includes cleaning coils and checking refrigerant levels to prevent leaks, inspecting electrical components and calibrating thermostats to avoid short cycling, and ensuring all parts are lubricated and secure. This proactive care helps your system handle our humid summers and cold winters efficiently, preventing costly breakdowns.
