HVAC Repair Houston TX | Call Portillo AC

Yes, a refrigerant leak is a common cause of reduced cooling capacity, especially in Houston's heat. Our technicians use electronic leak detectors to pinpoint the exact location. We then perform a permanent repair, not just a recharge, to fix the leak and restore your system to its proper refrigerant level. This ensures efficient operation and prevents further damage to the compressor.

Uneven cooling in multi-story homes is a frequent issue due to heat rising and often inadequate system balancing. We perform a detailed assessment of your ductwork, insulation, and thermostat placement. Solutions may include adjusting dampers, sealing duct leaks, adding a zoning system, or recommending a properly sized unit to ensure balanced airflow and consistent temperatures throughout your Houston home.

Our comprehensive diagnostic goes beyond basic checks. We test refrigerant pressure and levels for leaks, measure airflow at various vents to identify imbalances, inspect ductwork for restrictions or leaks, and assess the thermostat's calibration. This thorough approach allows us to identify the root cause of your comfort issues and provide a clear, honest explanation and repair plan.
