Refrigerant & Leak Repair FAQs
What are the signs my AC is low on refrigerant?
Warm air from vents, longer cooling cycles, ice on the refrigerant lines, hissing or bubbling sounds, and rising energy bills. We'll test your system and find the cause.
Can you just recharge it instead of fixing the leak?
Refrigerant doesn't get used up — if you're low, there's a leak. Recharging alone is temporary. We find and repair the leak first, then recharge for a lasting fix.
How do you find a refrigerant leak?
We use professional methods — electronic detectors, UV dye, and pressure testing — to pinpoint the exact source, so we fix the real problem instead of guessing.
How much does leak repair and recharge cost?
It depends on the leak's location and severity, your refrigerant type, and the amount needed. We provide an upfront diagnosis and estimate before any work begins.
Is a refrigerant leak dangerous?
It cuts efficiency and can damage the compressor, so address it promptly. Refrigerant must be handled by licensed pros — our certified techs repair and recover it safely.
Do you offer emergency AC service?
Yes — 24/7 emergency AC service across South & West Metro Atlanta. Family-owned since 1979, our licensed techs restore cool comfort fast.
