AC Repair, Install & Replacement in Wappingers Falls, NY

Crown Hill Road homes often experience refrigerant leaks from copper line connections that expand and contract during NY's freeze-thaw cycles over winter. The constant temperature changes can loosen fittings or cause hairline cracks in the refrigerant lines. We typically find these issues during spring startup when homeowners first turn their systems on after months of dormancy. Most refrigerant leaks require professional repair since handling refrigerant requires EPA certification.
