Cold air again, diagnosed properly first
A recharge can mask a leak for a few weeks, then you’re paying again. We pressure-test the system, find leaks, and check the compressor, condenser, and electrical controls before recommending parts, so the fix lasts through August, not just the drive home.
- A/C performance check & recharge: refrigerant level and system pressures measured, not guessed.
- Leak detection & repair: hoses, seals, condensers, and evaporators.
- Compressors & controls: compressor replacement and the electrical faults that stop systems from engaging.
- Heating service too: heater cores and controls for those January cold snaps and defogging.
Before you book, notice
- Warm at idle, cold on the highway?
- Often a fan or airflow problem, very fixable.
- Musty smell from the vents
- Usually moisture and buildup in the system; we’ll clean and check it.
- Clicking when the A/C turns on
- Could be the compressor clutch, catch it before the compressor itself fails.

Frequently asked questions
Warm air usually means the system has lost refrigerant through a leak, the compressor is not engaging, or airflow across the condenser is blocked. A simple recharge will not fix any of those causes for long. We pressure test the system, check the compressor and electrical controls, and find the actual cause first. Call (561) 736-3833 and we will explain what we find before any repair begins.
A recharge alone only helps when the refrigerant is low and there is no active leak, which is uncommon on an older system. If refrigerant escaped, it will escape again, often within weeks, and you will be paying twice. That is why we run leak detection on hoses, seals, condensers, and evaporators before recommending parts. You approve the repair and the price in plain language before we start any work.
Repairs performed at Noted Automotive are backed by a 2-year nationwide warranty, and A/C work is performed under the same promise as every other repair at the shop. If a covered repair fails while you are traveling, the coverage is honored beyond Boynton Beach rather than only at our shop. Ask us for the full warranty terms when you book, and we will walk through exactly what is covered.
Yes, we service heating systems as well as air conditioning, including heater cores and the controls that manage cabin temperature and defogging. In South Florida, heating matters most on January cold snaps and for clearing a fogged windshield in humid weather. The same diagnostic approach applies: we test the system, explain the fault in plain language, and complete only the repair you approve. Call (561) 736-3833 to book.
