R H Bass - Sarasota's Local HVAC Repair

Yes, low refrigerant from a leak is a common cause of poor cooling in Sarasota. We'll perform a thorough inspection to locate the leak using electronic detectors and UV dye. For most repairs, we'll braze (solder) the leak, perform a vacuum test to ensure the system is sealed, and then recharge it with the precise amount of refrigerant specified by the manufacturer to restore efficiency and cooling power.

Water leaks are very serious as they can cause significant damage to your home and promote mold growth. The issue is often a clogged condensate drain line, a common problem in our humid climate where algae builds up, or a cracked drain pan. We'll clear the blockage with specialized tools and may recommend installing a safety float switch to prevent future overflows. If the pan is damaged, we'll replace it to protect your home.

Regular preventative maintenance is key. Our seasonal tune-up includes checking refrigerant pressure for signs of leaks, inspecting and cleaning the condensate drain line and pan, and ensuring all components are in good condition. This proactive service helps catch small issues before they become major, costly repairs and keeps your system running efficiently, which is especially important for managing our high humidity.
