If You Lose Refrigerant, It Is a Sign of a Problem

Monday, April 25th, 2022

In order for your air conditioning system to operate the way it is supposed to, it needs refrigerant. This substance is vital to the cooling process. That said, we’d like to address a common misconception about it: refrigerant does not get used up.

If your system is starting to lose refrigerant, it isn’t because the refrigerant is being used as a fuel would be. Your refrigerant runs within a closed-loop system. When the air conditioning system starts to lose refrigerant, it means that the AC has a leak. A leak in one of the refrigerant lines is something that requires prompt repairs. We’ll explain more about refrigerant leaks below.

If you’re currently looking for a new air conditioning installation in Conyers, GA to deal with the upcoming summer, we’re glad you’re asking a question like this. The size of an air conditioning system is one of the most important factors in choosing which AC to install. It’s not something you want to get wrong either.

The good news is that you don’t have to make this choice yourself. It’s best to leave sizing a new AC to professionals like ours. Below we’ll get into why sizing an air conditioner is so important and how we find out the right size AC for a house.

Watch for These Signs of an AC Compressor in Trouble

Monday, March 28th, 2022

All the parts of a central air conditioning system are important, but the compressor is at the top of the pyramid. Not only can an air conditioner not do its job with a failed compressor, but the end of a compressor’s lifespan often is the end of the whole air conditioner’s lifespan. This is because compressors are expensive components to replace, and it’s often more cost-effective to get a new AC if a compressor is no longer under warranty. 

However, if you know what to look and listen for, you can sometimes catch a dying compressor early and arrange to have expert technicians fix it. Below we’ve listed several of the warning signs of compressor troubles. Don’t hesitate to call us for repairs: the problem may not end up being the compressor, but you’ll still be glad you had professionals investigating early. You’ll have a much lower chance of getting caught with no cooling in your house during the summer.
