AC Refrigerant Recharge in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Refrigerant recharge means adding refrigerant to a system that has lost some of its charge, usually through a slow leak. A system low on refrigerant cannot transfer heat efficiently and will run constantly without cooling your home properly. Recharging without fixing the leak that caused the loss is a temporary measure. We're upfront about that — a recharge alone doesn't solve why the refrigerant left in the first place.

When to Call
When You Need AC Refrigerant Recharge
- AC runs all day but the house stays several degrees warmer than the thermostat set point
- Evaporator coil is icing over even with clean filters and normal airflow
- Suction line at the outdoor unit has no condensation or feels warm to the touch
- System was recently serviced elsewhere but cooling performance is still noticeably weak
How It Works
Our Process for AC Refrigerant Recharge
- 1
Pressure and Temperature Reading
We check suction and discharge pressures along with supply air temperature to quantify how low the charge actually is.
- 2
Leak Check
Before adding refrigerant, we check for obvious leaks. Charging a leaking system without noting it is a disservice to you.
- 3
Refrigerant Addition
We add the correct refrigerant type for your equipment — R-22 and R-410A are not interchangeable.
- 4
Performance Verification
We recheck pressures, superheat, and subcooling to confirm the charge is correct, not just added by weight.
Fort Lauderdale Context
Why this matters in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale's climate means AC systems run hard enough that even small refrigerant losses become obvious faster than in cooler regions. A system slightly low on charge in December may be visibly struggling by March when the heat builds.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Refrigerant type matters a lot for pricing. R-22 is no longer manufactured and costs substantially more than R-410A. If your system uses R-22, we'll discuss what that means for long-term repair economics.
