I was very happy that the technician came out pretty quick. The job was a great professional job, and I was very impressed with how he fixed and made the set up much better and easier for emergencies. I don't know what is reasonable for prices, but the work done, to me, seemed very reasonable. I would recommend this company to friends, family, and strangers.

Excellent plumbing company! Outstanding communication and follow up. Pro-Tec installed a Halo whole house water filtration system and did an amazing job. Blaine, Kenny, and Mark are all top notch and I’m very happy with their service!
Lynn E.
Very happy with the service I received from Pro-Tec. They responded quickly to my call and sent a technician to my home the same day. The next day they came with the new hot water heater, and I asked about installing a water system. They had it delivered and he installed it along with the hot water heater. The technician went above and beyond.

The price was reasonable and clearly communicated upfront. I will definitely use them again for any plumbing needs."

I had a fantastic experience with this plumbing company. They responded quickly, came out right away for the estimate, and returned promptly to replace my hot water heater. Out of the three bids I received, theirs was the most affordable—and they were also the nicest to work with. The technician, Jamie, was wonderful: very kind, professional, and capable.

Damian was very knowledgeable, helpful, professional and courteous throughout the service call. He installed the AC Max and also changed our Nest Thermostat to the most recent one.

What Refrigerant Does for Your AC System

Refrigerant is the substance that actually absorbs and releases heat as it cycles through your system, which is what makes cooling possible in the first place. In a commercial setting, whether it’s a walk-in cooler, rooftop unit, or refrigeration case, that cycle has to run efficiently to keep temperatures where they need to be.

Unlike fuel, refrigerant isn’t meant to run out under normal operation. If levels are low, that almost always points to a leak somewhere in the system rather than typical wear. Our team performs commercial refrigerant leak detection in Naples, FL, to pinpoint exactly where that loss is happening before it causes bigger problems.

Signs Your System May Be Low on Refrigerant

Low refrigerant tends to show up in a few noticeable ways before a system fails completely. Here’s what to watch for.

  • Weak or warm airflow
  • Ice on refrigerant lines
  • Hissing or bubbling sounds
  • Longer running times
  • Rising energy costs
  • Inconsistent cooling performance

If your business is noticing any of these issues, it’s worth having a technician check things out before the problem affects your operations further.

What Usually Causes Refrigerant Leaks

Refrigerant leaks usually come down to wear and tear on the lines, coils, or connections that carry refrigerant through the system. Over time, vibration from equipment, corrosion, or small manufacturing defects can create tiny openings that slowly let refrigerant escape.

Naples’ climate adds another layer to this. Salt air near the coast can accelerate corrosion on outdoor components, and constant humidity puts ongoing stress on commercial equipment that already runs long hours to keep up with demand. Aging systems or units that haven’t had regular maintenance are especially prone to developing leaks over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my commercial system has a refrigerant leak?

Common signs include weak cooling, ice buildup on lines, hissing sounds, and rising energy bills. A technician can confirm the issue with a proper inspection.

Recharging only restores refrigerant levels. Any leak needs to be repaired first, or the system will lose refrigerant again over time.

Constant humidity, salt air, and heavy run times all put extra stress on commercial equipment, which can speed up wear on lines and connections.

Timing depends on the size of the system and how many potential leak points need to be checked, but many jobs can be completed in a single visit.
