The Role of Proper Refrigerant Charge
Refrigerant is what makes air conditioning possible — it absorbs heat from indoor air and expels it outdoors. When the charge drops below the manufacturer's specification, cooling output suffers, run times stretch out, energy bills climb, and the compressor faces accelerated wear. Refrigerant is not consumed like fuel; a low level always points to a leak somewhere in the system.
R-410A vs. R-22: Understanding the Difference
AC units built after 2010 run on R-410A (Puron). Older systems use R-22 (Freon), whose production and import were banned in 2020. Reclaimed R-22 is still available, but the price tag — often $100 to $200 per pound — makes repeat recharges hard to justify. For older systems with a major leak, upgrading to a modern R-410A unit is usually the smarter financial move.
Find the Leak First, Then Recharge
Topping off refrigerant without locating and fixing the leak is money wasted — the charge will bleed out again. Our Asheville and WNC technicians use electronic leak detectors, UV dye tracing, and pressure decay testing to pinpoint the source before recommending a recharge. After the leak is sealed, we charge the system to the manufacturer's exact specification with digital gauges.
HVAC Challenges in Brevard
Transylvania County earns its 'Land of Waterfalls' nickname with some of the highest rainfall in the eastern US — averaging 80+ inches annually. This extreme moisture makes dehumidification a year-round priority. Crawl spaces in Brevard homes are especially prone to moisture damage that can corrode ductwork and foster mold growth in HVAC systems.
Seasonal Tip for Brevard Homeowners
Brevard's exceptional rainfall means your HVAC system works harder to manage humidity even when temperatures are mild. We strongly recommend whole-home dehumidifiers for Brevard properties and suggest changing air filters monthly during the wet spring season (March–June).
