Krumm Charlie Heating & Cooling | Qualified HVAC Services in Columbus, OH

Yes, that's a classic sign of a refrigerant leak, a common issue in our area due to system age and wear. Low refrigerant makes your AC work harder, increasing energy bills and straining components. Our technicians use electronic leak detectors to find the source, perform a proper repair, and recharge the system to its manufacturer specifications, restoring efficiency and protecting your investment.

Many Columbus homes struggle with pollen, dust, and humidity. Beyond changing your filter regularly, we recommend solutions like high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, whole-house air purifiers, or UV-C light systems installed in your ductwork. These options actively remove allergens, neutralize mold and bacteria, and can significantly improve the air your family breathes.

A proper repair will restore cooling performance, but it's crucial to address the root cause. We not only seal the leak and recharge the system but also perform a full system check. This ensures no other corrosion or wear from the leak is present and that the repair is durable. For older systems with multiple leaks, we provide honest advice on whether repair or replacement is the more cost-effective, long-term solution for your home.
