Today’s task brought me to a home in Gilbert where the air conditioning wasn’t quite cutting it. The system was running, but the cool air? Not so much. After a quick inspection, I found the issue: low refrigerant. Even worse, a small leak was allowing the precious coolant to escape. Without enough refrigerant, the system just couldn’t keep up with Arizona’s heat.
Rather than let things spiral further, I explained the situation to the homeowner. We decided the best course of action was to top off the refrigerant and seal the leak to prevent any future issues. So, I got to work, carefully adding refrigerant to bring the system back to its full cooling potential. Next up, I applied a leak sealant to make sure we didn’t have any more sneaky refrigerant escapes in the future.
With both tasks completed, I fired up the system, and the cool air started flowing again. The house went from sweltering to comfortable in no time. That simple refrigerant boost, paired with sealing the leak, turned the situation around completely. Now, the homeowner can sit back, relax, and enjoy a well-functioning AC system without the fear of another leak popping up.
