Perry's Home Services - Ladson's Experienced HVAC Services

Yes, a refrigerant leak is a common cause for an AC that runs but doesn't cool effectively, a frequent issue in our Ladson climate. Our technicians will first perform a thorough leak detection test using specialized equipment. Once located, we repair the leak according to EPA standards, evacuate the system, and recharge it with the correct amount of refrigerant. This restores your system's efficiency and cooling power, preventing further damage and higher energy bills.

Signs include little to no airflow from your vents, strange noises like grinding or squealing from your indoor unit, or the system frequently tripping its circuit breaker. For Ladson homeowners, we first diagnose whether the issue is with the fan motor, the capacitor, or the blower wheel. We then replace the faulty component with a high-quality part, ensuring proper airflow is restored. Prompt repair prevents strain on your entire HVAC system and maintains even temperatures throughout your home.

Prevention starts with regular professional maintenance. Our twice-a-year tune-ups include checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, cleaning coils, and lubricating moving parts like the air handler fan motor. We also recommend keeping your outdoor unit clear of debris and changing your air filter regularly. This proactive care can often catch small issues before they turn into major repairs, extending your system's life and saving you money.
