Often, technicians can simply clean out the condensate drain line or move the drip tray back to the proper position. But sometimes, a frozen coil is the source of your trouble, in which case any number of problems within the system could be responsible.Refrigerant Leak Repair
If you added refrigerant to your AC system last year, you might be surprised to learn that your system needs more.

You are only missing refrigerant because it was not properly measured in the first place or because it has leaked out through the refrigerant line, or worse, the compressor. A technician should seal the leak before adding any refrigerant. It is not typical to need a refrigerant recharge every year.AC Capacitor Replacement
