• The Gas and Go

  If you need refrigerant added to your system, then you probably have a leak somewhere that is allowing the refrigerant to escape into the atmosphere. The gas is under high pressure, and every area should be tested for weakness. If a company comes to your home and the technician adds refrigerant but doesn’t conduct a free leak check to find and fix the leak, this is called a “Gas and Go.”  The company just likes selling you refrigerant. That’s easy. Finding and repairing a leak can be much harder.

They typically have moisture, old oil and contaminants from the old worn out or burned systems. They paid nothing for this refrigerant and make pure profit when they sell it to you for $69 to $99 per pound. Watch for a refrigerant jug that is yellow on top and gray on bottom. Ask questions!

This practice is illegal and carries a $10,000 fine for every instance by a company.

If you have ever had your system charged up and then it soon dies and turns into an expensive repair, this could have happened to you.
