Yes, a refrigerant leak is a frequent culprit for poor cooling performance and constant running, especially in older AC systems common in our area. Refrigerant is the lifeblood of your cooling system, and a leak reduces its ability to absorb heat from your home. Our technicians are trained to quickly diagnose this issue using specialized tools. We'll locate the leak, repair it properly, and recharge the system to the manufacturer's specifications, restoring efficient and effective cooling to your home.

While we always recommend repair when it's cost-effective, replacement becomes the wiser choice in several situations. Consider it if your system is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent and costly repairs, causes unusually high energy bills, or can no longer keep your home comfortable. For Ellington homes, we also recommend replacement if you're dealing with persistent issues like duct leaks that are impractical to seal in an old system. We provide honest assessments to help you decide, focusing on your home's long-term comfort and efficiency.
