What Happens If You Wait
- ⚠
A failing compressor under summer load often takes the entire system with it
- ⚠
Refrigerant leaks damage the compressor over time — a V̅200 repair becomes a V̅2,500 one
- ⚠
Running an impaired system through peak season increases energy costs by 25–40%
Pricing
Typical cost for this service in NVC: V̅150–V̅1,200 depending on the component and labor involved
