Yes, absolutely. While a refrigerant leak is a mechanical issue, our electrical inspection for your AC system checks the compressor, capacitors, and contactors. Electrical failures can cause the compressor to short-cycle or overwork, putting extra strain on the refrigerant lines and potentially leading to leaks. A routine electrical check helps ensure all components are running correctly, preventing secondary damage and keeping your system efficient.

Your AC's condensate drain is essentially a plumbing line for removing moisture. During our plumbing inspection, we specifically check this drain line for clogs from algae, mold, or debris—a very common issue in our Lawrenceville climate. We'll clear any blockages and can recommend preventive treatments. This simple check is crucial to avoid water damage, mold growth, and system shutdowns from the safety switch triggering.

Both issues can reduce cooling, but they often have different signs. A refrigerant leak typically causes warm air from vents and ice on refrigerant lines. A clogged drain line might cause water leakage near the indoor unit or a musty smell, and the system may shut off completely if the float switch is activated. Our technicians can quickly diagnose which is the culprit—or if both are present—through a combined system inspection, getting your comfort back on track efficiently.
