Leo Heating & Cooling: Certified HVAC Services Serving Greenville, SC 29605

Yes, a refrigerant leak is a common cause of poor cooling, especially during Greenville's hot summers. Low refrigerant makes your AC work harder, increasing energy bills and potentially damaging the compressor. Don't just add more refrigerant—that's a temporary fix. Our technicians use electronic leak detectors to find the source, repair it, and then recharge the system to the manufacturer's exact specifications. This restores efficiency, prevents future problems, and protects your investment.

Most likely, yes. Clogged condensate drain lines are a frequent issue in our humid Greenville climate. As your AC removes moisture from the air, algae and mold can build up in the drain pipe, causing a backup and potential water damage. We can clear the clog with specialized tools and may recommend installing a safety float switch to prevent future overflows. Regular maintenance, including drain line cleaning, is the best way to avoid this messy and damaging problem.

Prevention starts with professional seasonal maintenance. For clogs, we clean the condensate drain line and pan during every tune-up. To catch leaks early, we check refrigerant levels and inspect connections for wear. We also recommend keeping the area around your outdoor unit clear of debris. As your local HVAC experts, we tailor our maintenance plans to address the specific challenges of the Upstate climate, helping you avoid costly emergency repairs and extend your system's lifespan.
