An Apex homeowner noticed that their AC unit was not effectively cooling their home.
Travis found that the system was one pound low on Freon, which was causing the cooling issues. Travis added the correct charge of Freon to the system, ensuring it had the appropriate refrigerant level to function properly.
The AC unit resumed proper cooling, restoring comfort to the home.
If your AC starts blowing warm air, it might be low on refrigerant. Addressing this early can prevent more costly repairs and keep your home comfortable.

An Apex homeowner noticed their AC was not cooling effectively, especially during hot days.
The unit, originally installed in 2000, required a freon recharge to restore its cooling efficiency. The team, including Dexter, Mario, Travis, and Jeorell, assessed the system and confirmed the need for a freon recharge. They carefully recharged the unit, ensuring it was operating at optimal levels to improve cooling performance.
After the recharge, the AC resumed normal cooling operation, providing relief from the heat.
Older AC units, like those from 2000, may need more frequent refrigerant checks. If your AC isn't cooling as it used to, a refrigerant recharge might be necessary to maintain efficiency.
Apex's hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F put extra strain on AC systems, requiring more frequent maintenance to handle constant use and moisture.
The Triangle's seasonal temperature swings mean HVAC systems must efficiently handle both heating in winter and cooling in summer, with proper tune-ups before each season.
High humidity levels in Apex cause condensation issues and can lead to mold growth in ductwork if systems aren't properly maintained and sized.
Local building codes and HOA requirements in Apex neighborhoods require specific permits for HVAC installations and replacements to ensure compliance.

Common signs include: warm air from vents, system running constantly without reaching set temperature, ice on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, and higher than normal electricity bills. If you notice these symptoms during NC summer, call for a diagnosis promptly.
Unlike fuel, refrigerant doesn't get consumed. It circulates in a sealed system. Low refrigerant always means there's a leak somewhere. Simply adding more without fixing the leak is a temporary fix that wastes money and harms the environment.
R-22 production has been banned since 2020, making remaining supplies increasingly expensive ($75-$150+ per pound). Your options include repairing and recharging (short-term), converting to an R-410A-compatible system, or replacing with a new high-efficiency unit. We help you evaluate the most cost-effective path.
Costs depend on refrigerant type and amount needed. R-410A recharges typically run $200-$500. R-22 recharges can cost $500-$1,500+ due to scarce supply. We always provide a complete diagnosis and quote before performing any work.
