Mark's Heating and Air Conditioning - Van Wert's Local HVAC Repair

Common signs include your AC blowing warm air, ice forming on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, a noticeable hissing or bubbling sound, and a sudden spike in your energy bill. If you notice any of these, it's best to call for service right away. A leak not only reduces cooling but can cause compressor failure—a much more expensive repair.

In our area, dirt, pollen, and grass clippings can quickly clog the condenser coils on your outdoor unit. Dirty coils force your system to work much harder, reducing efficiency, increasing wear and tear, and leading to higher cooling costs. A professional cleaning as part of routine maintenance restores airflow and efficiency, preventing breakdowns during our hottest Van Wert summers.

In many cases, we can locate and repair the leak, then recharge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant. However, if the leak is extensive or the system is very old and uses an outdated refrigerant (like R-22), replacement might be the more cost-effective long-term solution. We'll provide a straightforward, honest assessment and all your options.
