Learn moreWhy does my AC keep losing refrigerant?
Refrigerant doesn't get used up during normal operation — if your system is low, it's leaking somewhere. Common leak points include coil connections, valves, and the coils themselves.
Is it bad to just recharge without fixing the leak?
Yes, in the long run — a recharge without addressing the leak just means you'll be low again, often within a season, and you'll have paid for refrigerant that leaked right back out.
