Expert Insights

Pro Tips: Refrigerant Leak

Pro-level knowledge our network technicians use to diagnose and resolve this problem faster.

1

Factor in System Age

HVAC systems last 15-20 years. If yours is over 15 and requires a major repair, replacement often delivers better long-term value and efficiency.

2

Flush the Condensate Drain

A clogged condensate drain causes water leaks and can trigger auto-shutdown. Flush with a diluted bleach solution every season.

3

Test the Reversing Valve

On heat pumps, a stuck reversing valve prevents switching between heating and cooling. If your system only works in one mode, this is the likely cause.
