Yes, if you have an air conditioning unit installed in your home, an HVAC technician can provide you with repairs, maintenance, and installation services. Air conditioning units use a substance called refrigerant to cool air and is a critical component in all units. Without it, there would be no freezers, air conditioners, or refrigeration units! By absorbing heat from the air in your home or surrounding environment, depending on the type of air conditioner unit you have installed, when there are problems with your refrigerant, your air conditioning will be unable to cool your home correctly.
