What is the most common AC repair in Pompino Beach, Florida.
If you live in Pompino Beach, chances are you've dealt
with the same AC problem that hits most homes around here.
Refrigerant leaks. It's not just bad luck, it's what happens
when you combine Florida's intense heat, coastal humidity, and salty
air with an air conditioning system that never gets a
break At Filter by HVAC Solutions, We've been fixing AC
(00:23):
systems in Pompino Beach long enough to know exactly what
keeps breaking down and why, and refrigerant leaks their hands
down the most common repair. We see why refrigerant leaks
happen so much in Pompino Beach. Here's the thing about
living this close to the coast that salty air isn't
just tough on your car or patio furniture. It's constantly
working on your AC's copper coils and connections, slowly eating
(00:44):
away at the metal over time. Add in the fact
that your system runs almost year round here in South Florida,
and those tiny pinhole leaks start showing up sooner than
they would in other places. In fact, Research from Purdue
University has shown that salt spray exposure significantly degrades al
aluminum heat exchangers, reducing performance and speeding up corrosion, the
same process that leads to refrigerant leaks and coastal homes
(01:07):
like yours. The humidity doesn't help either. When your AC
works overtime to pull moisture out of the air, it
puts extra strain on the refrigerant lines. Over time, all
that pressure cycling your system, turning on and off, expanding
and contracting, creates weak spots where leaks develop. We see
it all the time. At our location on twenty five
twenty one Northeast fourth Avenue, Pompino Beach, Florida, three three
(01:31):
zero six four customers call saying their AC isn't cooling
like it used to, or their electric bills have shot
up for no obvious reason. Nine times out of ten,
it's a refrigerant leak. How to tell if you have
a refrigerant leak. You don't need to be an HVAC
expert to spot the warning signs. Your system might be
blowing warm air instead of cold, or maybe it's taking
(01:51):
forever to cool your house down. Sometimes you'll notice ice
build up on your indoor unit. That's actually a dead
giveaway that something's wrong with your refrigerant levels. Higher electric
bills are another big clue. When your system is low
on refrigerant, it has to work much harder to do
the same job. That means it's running longer and using
more energy to keep your home comfortable. Why DIY refrigerant
(02:12):
fixes don't work. You might be tempted to buy one
of those refrigerant cans from the hardware store, but here's
why that's not going to solve your problem. Adding more
refrigerant without fixing the leak is like putting air in
a tire with a nail in it. It might work
for a day or two, but you're right back where
you started. Plus, refrigerant isn't something you want to mess
around with if you don't know what you're doing. It
requires special equipment to handle safely, and getting the levels
(02:36):
wrong can actually damage your system. How filter By handles
refrigerant leaks the right way. When we come out for
a refrigerant leak repair, we don't just top off your
system and call it done. We start by finding exactly
where the leak is happening and trust us. After years
of working on air conditioning systems in Pompino Beach, we
know all the usual suspects from the start. Our focus
(02:57):
has always been simple, take care of our customers. Over
the years, we kept hearing the same request, do you
know a good AAC company around here? That's what pushed
us to expand into full service residential AC repair and maintenance.
Our president even went through technical school for hands on
training before leading the company, so when work with us,
you're getting someone who really knows this stuff. Once we
(03:19):
find the leak, we fix it properly, not with some
temporary patch that'll fail again in six months. Then we
recharge your system with the right amount of refrigerant and
test everything to make sure it's working like it should.
What sets our HVAC services apart is that we don't
just fix the immediate problem. We look at why the
leak happened in the first place. Maybe your coils need
some corrosion protection, or there are other areas that look
(03:41):
like they might develop issue soon. It's better to catch
these things early than wait for your next breakdown, preventing
future refrigerant leaks. The reality is, if you live in
Pompino beach. You're probably going to deal with refrigerant issues
at some point, but there are ways to push that
day further out. Regular maintenance helps catch small problems before
they become big expense of ones. Keeping your outdoor unit
(04:02):
clean and making sure there's good airflow around it also
helps reduce strain on the system. We've seen what this
coastal climate does to AC equipment over time, and we
know which systems hold up better and which ones tend
to develop problems faster. That local knowledge makes a difference
when it comes to keeping your system running longer. Don't
wait until your AC stops working completely. If you're noticing
(04:23):
any of the following warning signs warm air, ice, filled up,
higher bills, your system just not keeping up like it used.
Don't wait. Refrigerant leaks get worse over time, and running
your system while it's low on refrigerant can cause bigger,
more expensive problems. Call Filter by HVAC Solutions at seven
five four seven one four for six six six to
(04:44):
get it checked out. We'll figure out exactly what's going
on and fix it right so you can get back
to enjoying your cool, comfortable home without worrying about surprise
breakdowns or sky high electric bills.
