We charge your system to exact manufacturer specs. [Call Now (240) 338-0049](tel:+12403380049)[Schedule Service](/contact) Fully Insured Prompt Response Free Estimates Upfront Pricing If your AC is low on refrigerant, it can't pull enough heat out of your home's air. Your system runs longer, your electric bill climbs, and the compressor operates under stress that shortens its life. Pentagon Air recharges AC systems across Bowie to the exact manufacturer-specified level. not by feel or guesswork. We measure superheat and subcooling to hit the precise charge that gives you maximum cooling with minimum energy waste. ## When You Need a Refrigerant Recharge Low refrigerant shows up as warm air from vents, ice forming on the evaporator coil, the system running constantly without cooling properly, and higher BGE bills. If your system was recently repaired for a leak, it needs a recharge to get back to full capacity. Here's something a lot of Bowie homeowners don't know: refrigerant doesn't get 'used up' like gas in your car. If it's low, there's a leak somewhere. We always check for leaks before adding refrigerant. ## Our Refrigerant Recharge Process We connect manifold gauges to measure current refrigerant levels, pressures, superheat, and subcooling. We check for leaks first. recharging without fixing a leak wastes your money and releases refrigerant into the atmosphere. Once any leaks are repaired, we add refrigerant carefully, monitoring pressures and temperatures in real time to hit the exact manufacturer specification. We verify cooling performance at your vents before leaving. ## Refrigerant Recharge Cost in Bowie Recharge costs depend on refrigerant type and how much is needed. R-410A is the current standard and reasonably priced. R-22 is phased out, increasingly rare, and significantly more expensive. $100+ per pound in many cases. If your system uses R-22, we'll have an honest conversation about whether recharging or upgrading to a new system makes more sense. We quote the total upfront. ## Why Choose Us Pentagon Air charges refrigerant precisely using professional gauges and temperature measurements. not by watching frost on the suction line or guessing. Too little refrigerant means poor cooling. Too much damages the compressor. We get it right. Our technicians are EPA-certified for refrigerant handling. Licensed, insured, serving Bowie.
