When temperatures rise, Mechanical Extremes hears this complaint often: “My air conditioning is running, but it’s not cooling…what’s the problem?” One of two issues, or both, are typically to blame. One is fairly easy to remedy; the other, not so much.
A dirty filter may cause poor performance. A new filter could do wonders.
The other problem could be caused by a leak, even a tiny one. Refrigerant escapes, and the AC doesn’t cool properly.
Mechanical Extremes can help you with either problem. If your unit was built 2010 or later, it uses a new kind of chlorine-free refrigerant. Though not cheap at $80 per pound, it’s not as expensive as for older units. The R-22 refrigerant for older units is no longer made, and has skyrocketed to $175 per pound. Ouch!
When faced with problems of older units, some will consider a replacement. The leak will be eliminated, and a new unit could be considerably more efficient to operate.
