Why You Should Not Wait
A refrigerant leak does not fix itself. Over time, a low refrigerant system puts added strain on the compressor, which is the most expensive A/C component to replace. Addressing an A/C issue early — especially before summer — saves money and keeps you comfortable during Texas heat.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my car needs a refrigerant recharge?
If your A/C is blowing air but it's not as cold as it used to be, low refrigerant is often the cause. Our technicians can test the system pressure to confirm.
Why does my A/C smell musty?
Mold and bacteria can build up in the evaporator core over time. We can clean the evaporator and replace the cabin air filter to eliminate odors.
How long does an A/C repair take?
A refrigerant recharge typically takes 30–60 minutes. More complex repairs like compressor replacement may take several hours.
