FAQs
What are the signs my San Ramon AC has a refrigerant leak, and how do you fix it?
Common signs include reduced cooling, ice on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, and a hissing sound. As a San Ramon neighbor, we know our older systems are prone to this. We use electronic leak detectors to find the exact source, then perform a proper repair or seal before recharging the system with the correct refrigerant, ensuring it runs efficiently again.
How can I protect my outdoor AC unit from coil corrosion, which is common here?
The salty air and weather in our area can accelerate corrosion. We recommend and provide a professional-grade protective coil coating during a maintenance visit. This simple service acts as a barrier against the elements. Combined with our twice-yearly maintenance plan, which includes cleaning and inspection, it's the best defense to extend your condenser's lifespan and prevent costly repairs.
