An HVAC refrigerant leak can drastically affect your system’s performance, leading to poor cooling, higher energy bills, and eventual system failure if not addressed. Refrigerant is essential for transferring heat in both heating and cooling systems. When a leak occurs, the system loses its ability to efficiently cool or heat...

The R134a refrigerant has been a standard for automotive air conditioning systems for decades. Introduced as an environmentally friendlier alternative to older refrigerants like R12, R134a offers improved performance, safety, and regulatory compliance. While automotive manufacturers are gradually transitioning to newer refrigerants, R134a remains widely used in many vehicles today...

Both automotive and residential air conditioning systems rely on refrigerants to regulate temperatures. However, using automotive refrigerant in a house AC unit is not recommended due to key differences in refrigerant composition, pressure requirements, and system design. Attempting to interchange refrigerants between these systems can lead to efficiency loss, damage,...
