FAQs
How can I tell if my air conditioner in Evensville needs a refrigerant recharge?
The most common warning signs are warm air blowing from the vents, longer run times without reaching the thermostat setting, ice buildup on the indoor coil or outdoor lines, hissing or bubbling sounds, and an unexpected jump in your electric bill. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a professional inspection—running an AC with low refrigerant can damage the compressor.
How long does a quick refrigerant recharge appointment usually take?
For most residential systems, our Evensville technicians can complete a quick refrigerant recharge (including confirming the proper charge with superheat/subcool measurements) in 30–60 minutes. If we need to perform a leak search, minor repairs, or an evacuation, the visit may take longer, but we’ll give you a time estimate up front.
Is a refrigerant recharge a permanent fix, or do I have a leak?
Refrigerant does not get used up the way fuel does—if your system is low, it escaped through a leak. A recharge restores cooling capacity, but it is only permanent if the leak is repaired or if none is found. Our techs follow EPA guidelines: we locate and repair accessible leaks before recharging, or we’ll discuss repair or replacement options if the leak is in a major component (like the coil).
Which refrigerant does my system use, and can you still recharge R-22 units?
Most newer systems use R-410A, while units installed before 2010 may use R-22 (Freon). We are EPA-certified to handle both. R-22 production was phased out in 2020, so any recharge relies on reclaimed supplies that are increasingly expensive. If your R-22 system needs frequent top-offs, we’ll explain the costs and potential benefits of upgrading to a modern, more efficient R-410A or R-32 system.
Will recharging my AC reduce my energy bills?
Yes. An air conditioner that is even 10–15% low on refrigerant can lose up to 20% of its cooling efficiency, forcing the system to run longer and use more electricity. Restoring the factory-specified charge helps the unit cool faster, lowers operating cost, and protects expensive components like the compressor from overheating.
