Our technician performed a comprehensive assessment of the downstairs HVAC unit in Allen, Texas. During the inspection, we checked the refrigerant levels and found that the system pressures were running low.
The unit uses R22 refrigerant, which is being phased out due to environmental regulations. Because of this, the most cost-effective solution is to replace the entire system rather than attempt repairs with the outdated refrigerant.
While examining the system in the attic, we discovered that the installation will require additional ductwork modifications. Specifically, the new system will need both supply and return plenums installed to ensure proper airflow throughout the home.
We also recommend adding an extra return air run to the new system. This improvement will help balance the airflow and increase the overall efficiency of the HVAC system, providing better comfort control for the homeowner.
