When it comes to keeping your home cool and comfortable in the Florida heat, your air conditioning system has a big job to do. One of the key components that helps your AC perform at its best is refrigerant. At Duke's Air Conditioning and Heating, we know how crucial proper refrigerant management is—not just for your comfort, but also for the environment and the overall health of your cooling system.
Why Refrigerant Matters
Refrigerant is the lifeblood of your air conditioner. It’s the substance that absorbs heat from inside your home and releases it outside, allowing your system to produce that refreshing cool air you rely on. Without the correct amount and type of refrigerant, your AC can’t perform properly. Low refrigerant levels can lead to reduced cooling efficiency, longer run times, higher energy bills, and even costly damage to critical components like your compressor.
At Duke's Air Conditioning and Heating, we take refrigerant management seriously. Our experienced technicians are trained to handle refrigerants with precision, ensuring your system stays efficient and effective year-round.
The Environmental Impact
Proper refrigerant management isn’t just about keeping your home cool—it’s also about protecting the environment. Some refrigerants, especially older types, can be harmful to the ozone layer if not handled properly. Newer, more eco-friendly refrigerants are now commonly used, but even these need to be managed carefully to prevent leaks and ensure responsible disposal.
Our team at Duke's Air Conditioning and Heating stays up-to-date with all EPA guidelines and industry best practices to ensure that every service call is handled with care. We believe that doing our part to protect the planet is just as important as keeping your family comfortable.
