Just another scorching day in Gilbert, Arizona, and our team got called out to a home in the 85142 area. The homeowner mentioned their air conditioning wasn’t quite cutting it, and with these desert temperatures, we knew it had to be addressed fast. As soon as we popped the cover off, it was clear this wasn’t a simple case of “low on refrigerant.”
The Discovery: The Coil Crisis
Our first step was a thorough checkup, and out came our trusty electronic refrigerant detector. Sure enough, that coil was leaking – and not just one big leak either – we’re talking micro leaks all over. Imagine a leaky garden hose with dozens of tiny pinholes, but instead of water, it was the refrigerant that was escaping. No wonder this unit wasn’t blowing cold air!
This was the tipping point for the old system. Trying to repair this was like putting a Band-Aid on a sinking ship – costly and ultimately pointless. With a coil riddled with leaks, it simply wasn’t worth throwing money into endless repairs.
The Decision to Go New:
After walking the homeowner through the details and crunching some numbers, it was clear – the most cost-effective choice was to replace the whole unit. Nobody wants to be stuck in the Arizona heat with an unreliable system. They made the wise decision to go with a brand-new, efficient setup that’ll keep them cool for years to come.
The Replacement Process:
The swap took us a solid few hours, but hey, that’s what we do! We had the old unit out and the new one up and running in no time. By the end of the job, the house was already feeling like a cool oasis in the middle of Gilbert’s heatwave.
Wrapping It Up:
Now, this homeowner is ready to face the next wave of summer heat without breaking a sweat. And the best part? This new system is far more efficient, so they’ll be saving on those energy bills too. Another happy customer in the books!
Check out the images below to see exactly how we tackled this job step-by-step. From the old leaky unit to the shiny new system, it’s all there!
