Refrigerant is the lifeblood of any air conditioning system. It’s what enables your AC to cool your home by absorbing and releasing heat. But when refrigerant levels are too low, too high, or improperly handled, your system’s performance—and even your comfort—can suffer. At Breeze AC, we take refrigerant management seriously, because we know how crucial it is to the efficiency, safety, and longevity of your HVAC system.
Why Refrigerant Management Matters
Proper refrigerant levels are key to ensuring your air conditioning system functions as it should. If your system is low on refrigerant due to a leak or improper charge, it won’t cool your home effectively. Not only does this lead to discomfort, but it also forces your AC to work harder, which can result in higher energy bills and potential system breakdowns.
Additionally, refrigerants must be handled with care due to their environmental impact. Modern HVAC systems often use newer, more environmentally friendly refrigerants, but even these need to be managed according to EPA guidelines to prevent harm to the ozone layer and atmosphere. Our licensed technicians at Breeze AC are trained to handle refrigerants in compliance with all local and federal regulations, so you can trust the job is done right.
Signs of Refrigerant Issues
There are a few red flags that may indicate your system has a refrigerant problem:
Warm air blowing from your vents
Ice buildup on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil
Hissing or bubbling noises near the unit
Unexpected spikes in your energy bills
Long or ineffective cooling cycles
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to call the pros at Breeze AC. Our technicians will diagnose the issue, check for leaks, and ensure your system is charged to the exact specifications recommended by the manufacturer.
