When temperatures rise, Mechanical Extremes hears this complaint often:  “My air conditioning is running, but it’s not cooling…what’s the problem?”  One of two issues, or both, are typically to blame.  One is fairly easy to remedy; the other, not so much.

A dirty filter may cause poor performance.  A new filter could do wonders.

The other problem could be caused by a leak, even a tiny one.  Refrigerant escapes, and the AC doesn’t cool properly.

Mechanical Extremes can help you with either problem.  If your unit was built 2010 or later, it uses a new kind of chlorine-free refrigerant.  Though not cheap at $80 per pound, it’s not as expensive as for older units.  The R-22 refrigerant for older units is no longer made, and has skyrocketed to $175 per pound.  Ouch!

When faced with problems of older units, some will consider a replacement.  The leak will be eliminated, and a new unit could be considerably more efficient to operate.
