Yes, poor cooling is a common sign of a refrigerant leak. Beyond comfort, leaks are serious because they reduce efficiency, strain the compressor (leading to costly repairs), and harm the environment. Our technicians use electronic leak detectors to precisely locate and repair the leak. We then recharge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant, following EPA guidelines, to restore your unit's performance and efficiency.

We recommend a two-part annual maintenance plan. In the fall, a furnace tune-up includes cleaning, testing for carbon monoxide, and checking safety controls. In spring, an AC service involves cleaning coils, checking refrigerant pressure for leaks, and ensuring proper airflow. This proactive approach catches small problems before they become hazardous or cause a breakdown during our extreme summer heat or winter cold, saving you money and ensuring peace of mind.
