Refrigerant recharge
Is Your A/C Blowing Warm Air? A refrigerant recharge is not a routine service—it’s a solution to a problem. If your system is low on refrigerant, there is a leak. We follow EPA regulations and industry standards to safely recover existing refrigerant, locate and repair the leak, evacuate the system, and recharge it with the precise type and amount needed for peak performance.
01.
R-410A (Puron®) Recharge Service
R-410A is the standard refrigerant for modern, high-efficiency systems. We ensure your compatible system is recharged to the exact factory specification using weighed-in charges, not guesswork, to protect your compressor and maximize efficiency.
02.
R-22 (Freon) Phase-Out Management & Retrofits
R-22 is no longer manufactured. If your older system uses R-22, we offer compliant solutions: a precise recharge using reclaimed R-22 (subject to availability and cost) or a discussion about system retrofit options to a safer, legal refrigerant like R-407C or R-458A, which may be a more economical long-term choice than frequent recharges.
03.
Refrigerant Recovery & Evacuation
Before any recharge, we must safely recover all remaining refrigerant from your system using EPA-certified equipment. We then perform a deep vacuum evacuation to remove air and moisture, which is critical for system longevity and preventing acid formation.
04.
System Performance Verification
A proper recharge is more than adding gas. We verify correct superheat and subcooling levels, check for proper temperature drop across the evaporator coil, and ensure all components are operating safely under the new charge.
