Are you are concerned because your place is not cooling off like it should? Perhaps you’ve noticed warm air or lower than normal airflow coming out of your system’s registers or you’ve heard a hissing sound. Maybe you’ve observed water on the floor by your HVAC unit or seen ice forming on your evaporator coils. These are all telltale signs of an AC refrigerant leak.
IMPORTANT: Losing refrigerant is not normal and likely signals an AC refrigerant leak. A properly running system maintains the same amount of refrigerant. It’s not like oil in your car that must be replenished over time.
