AC Refrigerant Recharge Amarillo TX — Patrick Heating & Air, Inc.
Expert diagnosis for low refrigerant, ice buildup, and AC systems that are running but not cooling your home.
When your air conditioner is running constantly but the air coming out of the vents isn't cold, or if you notice ice building up on the outdoor unit or indoor copper lines, you likely have a refrigerant issue. In the heat of an Amarillo summer, this is a problem you need solved quickly.
At Patrick Heating & Air, Inc., we don't just "top off" your system and walk away. Air conditioning systems are sealed—meaning if you are low on refrigerant, there is a leak somewhere in the system. We focus on finding the source of the problem, offering honest advice on whether a repair or replacement makes the most sense for your home and budget.
The Truth About Refrigerant Leaks
A Recharge is Only a Temporary Fix
Because your AC is a closed loop, refrigerant doesn't get "used up" like gas in a car. If it's low, it leaked out.
- Leak Diagnosis: We use specialized tools to locate the exact source of the leak.
- Honest Expectations: Recharging without fixing the leak means you'll be calling us again when it leaks out.
Older Systems & R-22 Freon
If your system is older, it might use R-22 refrigerant (often called Freon), which has been phased out due to environmental regulations.
- High Costs: R-22 is extremely expensive and increasingly hard to find.
- Replacement Considerations: For older R-22 systems with major leaks, upgrading to a modern R-410A system is often the most cost-effective long-term choice.
