Why Your AC Needs the Right Refrigerant Charge

Refrigerant is the lifeblood of your air conditioning system — it absorbs heat from indoor air and releases it outside. When refrigerant levels drop below the manufacturer's specification, your AC loses cooling capacity, runs longer cycles, drives up energy bills, and can eventually damage the compressor. Unlike fuel, refrigerant isn't consumed — if levels are low, it means there's a leak somewhere in the system.

R-410A vs. R-22: Know the Difference

Systems manufactured after 2010 use R-410A (Puron), while older units use R-22 (Freon), which was phased out of production in 2020. R-22 is still available from reclaimed supplies, but it's expensive — often $100-$200 per pound. If your older system uses R-22 and has a significant leak, converting to a modern R-410A system or upgrading to a new unit is usually more cost-effective than repeated recharges.

Leak Detection First, Then Recharge

Simply adding refrigerant without finding and fixing the leak is a waste of money — the charge will just leak out again. Our technicians in Asheville and WNC use electronic leak detectors, UV dye testing, and pressure decay testing to locate leaks before recommending a recharge. Once the leak is repaired, we charge the system to exact manufacturer specifications using digital gauges.
