Heat Pump Refrigerant Recharge in Cape Coral, FL
Refrigerant recharge means restoring the refrigerant level in a heat pump that has lost charge due to a leak. Refrigerant doesn't deplete on its own — a system low on refrigerant has a leak somewhere, and adding refrigerant without finding that leak is a temporary fix at best. We locate the leak, repair it, evacuate the system properly, and then recharge to manufacturer specifications.

When to Call

- Your heat pump runs continuously but the house stays several degrees above the thermostat setting.

How It Works
Our Process for Heat Pump Refrigerant Recharge
- 1
Pressure Testing and Leak Detection
We check system pressures and use electronic leak detection to locate the source before adding any refrigerant.
- 2
Leak Repair
We repair the leak at the source — whether that's a coil, line set fitting, or Schrader valve — before proceeding.
- 3
Evacuation
We pull the system into a deep vacuum to remove moisture and air before introducing fresh refrigerant.
- 4
Recharge to Spec
We charge refrigerant by weight or by manufacturer subcooling and superheat targets, not by guesswork.
Cape Coral Context
Why this matters in Cape Coral
Cape Coral's high humidity and salt air environment accelerates coil corrosion, which is the leading cause of refrigerant leaks in this area. Formicary corrosion on copper coils is something we see regularly here.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
The type of refrigerant your system uses affects availability and cost. Older R-22 systems are in a different cost situation than current R-410A or R-454B equipment, and we'll be straightforward about that.
