In Shirley, NY heat, cooling problems don't get better on their own. Charge, compressor draw, and coil condition all get checked before we recommend a fix.
Topping off refrigerant without finding the leak is one of the most common ways Shirley homeowners get overcharged. We pull pressures, check superheat and subcooling, and use electronic detection to find the actual leak, because a properly repaired leak outlasts three top-offs.
Non-negotiables on every cooling call.
Every tech handling refrigerant carries current federal certification, and we take it seriously.
We bump these calls ahead of routine work.
The invoice matches the quote, no exceptions.
Sniffers and UV dye find the actual leak point.
Most repairs finish without a parts-store run.
